Airbnb, NAACP To Announce Partnership For Atlanta Hosts

ATLANTA - On Thursday, March 21, 2019, the NAACP and Airbnb will announce the fourth regional launch of its national partnership. In 2017, the two organizations came together to announce a program that included targeted outreach to communities of color to help more people use their homes to earn extra income. Metro Atlanta and Georgia is the first partnership of 2019 and part of Airbnb and the NAACP’s joint efforts to continue to ensure the benefits of homesharing reach all communities.

Founded in 2008, Airbnb's accommodation marketplace provides access to more than 5 million places to stay in more than 81,000 cities and 191 countries. With Experiences, Airbnb offers access to local communities and interests through 15,000 unique, handcrafted activities run by hosts across 1,000+ markets around the world.

Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the nation’s oldest and largest nonpartisan civil rights organization.
