Airbnb decided to put together a team lead by designed and Architecture for Humanity co-founder Cameron Sinclair in order to provide temporary housing for 100,000 displaced people.

This official project, due to launch this summer, has the ultimate goal of one million Airbnb users to register as “hosts for good” – meaning they can provide housing for people that have been displaced for various reasons, such as natural disasters, for example.
Airbnb announced its ambition to host displaced people during this year’s Super Bowl with a commercial that was tagged #weaccept. Besides working on the commercial, Sinclair also worked on Airbnb’s Yoshino Cedar House.
