As confirmed by its CEO yesterday

(the tweet is a thread explaining the process more in detail)

Not private companies doing for publicity what the State is there to do for compassion :partysick:

And those veterans have access to healthcare and monetary help monthly, is unfortunate that some are homeless do to drug abuse or circumstance after their service. But they definitely get money I know this because my father in law is a disabled veteran and he gets up to $7K monthly. The help is there they just have to go get it  :vegas:

There are like 500 billionaires who have the money to end their misery (by giving them money, not killing them I mean) like three times over. Why don't you ask them instead? This is a good gesture, despite it being obviously a marketing ploy, so these kind of complaints don't help the cause at all.

Y’all always want more don’t you?

Obviously homelessness is a problem, but as Jill said, tell that to the wealthy elite in your country who don’t pay their fair share of taxes - not companies who are just trying to do a good thing.

Glad to see AirBnB is helping.

REALITY

I find it hilarious when people use the "what about..." argument. Like, yes, homelessness in our country is a problem, but that doesn't mean that we can't help out 20,000 Afghans. Just because one group of people have it bad doesn't mean that we should let two groups of people have it bad.

Isn't it up to the people whose homes are on AirBnB? or do they own properties themselves now?

As I understood from reading the thread, the home owners are the ones offering the space to do this. Maybe Airbnb is paying them to do so or something.

Not really. Homelessness is a government choice. I know people’s minds melt when you say everyone should be housed bc it’s a human right (don’t get why), but if anything, Homeless Vets are some of the most deserving. It’s the bare minimum tbh… 

But yeah this isn’t really related to the original topic. Regardless of motive, BnB really did that:applause:
