The Airbnb Open Homes program is offering “temporary and free housing to those who need it” after the Puerto Rico earthquakes, according to the site.

"Relief workers, neighbors who have had to evacuate and others affected by the event" are eligible to reserve rooms at no cost, says Airbnb.

"If you have been displaced or are helping with relief efforts, you can book free accommodation between January 9, 2020 and January 31, 2020," the site said.

Residents can also donate space for those who need temporary housing, according to Airbnb.

La Fortaleza, the operations center of the Executive Branch of Puerto Rico, tweeted about the company's program and directed anyone who needed the resource to the site.

The online hosting market has provided free temporary housing to people displaced by natural disasters, conflicts and diseases through its Open Homes programs for several years.
