As devastating wildfires have gripped Los Angeles, an unexpected alliance has emerged as a beacon of hope. Airbnb has joined forces with 211 LA, a local non-profit organization to offer free temporary shade for the evacuees seeking refuge from the wildfires.

Airbnb.org has offered free, temporary housing to people displaced by several natural disasters, including Hurricanes Helene and Milton, and the war in Ukraine. Los Angeles residents in need can request temporary housing by filling out an intake form with 211 LA.

The Ranch at Laguna Beach is offering 50 percent off and waiving parking and resort fees for anyone in an official Cal Fire evacuation zone. Hilton Irvine Orange County Airport is offering discounts to people and animals that have left their homes.
