Realtor's Association of Maui

In collaboration with Hawai‘i’s REALTOR® Associations and Hawaii Information Service, the Realtor's Association of Maui launched MauiKokua.com, a new website to offer housing resources and connect those who have housing with those who need it. They’re also forming a series of committees to help with the phased recovery of our communities.

AirBNB--Temporary Housing

Airbnb.org will be working with organizations on the ground (like https://www.meoinc.org/) to do the intake from survivors and verify their need

Once verified, Airbnb.org handle the booking in person w/ the survivors to get them booked into a home.

The benefit of working for Airbnb.org for those who want to host is Airbnb.org will handle the booking process (they will receive booking requests via email/Airbnb platform). Airbnb will provide insurance during the stay through its Aircover program ($1M in liabilty coverage; $3M in property coverage)

AirBNB has housed over 250,000 people to date through Airbnb.org, including 100,000+ from those fleeing Ukraine.
