Airbnb.org, in partnership with Mairie de Biscarosse, Mairie de Pontenx-les-Forges, and the town halls of the ten municipalities in the Médullienne Community of Municipalities is identifying displaced residents in need of shelter and connecting them to free emergency housing.

In Gironde, residents affected by the fires should contact their local town hall, which is coordinating requests. They will identify families affected and direct them toward various options for accommodations, including referring eligible residents to Airbnb.org.

The municipalities currently covered are Le Porge, Saumos, Le Temple, Saint-Hélène, Salaunes, Brach, Listrac-Médoc, Moulis-en-Médoc, Castelnau-de-Médoc and Avensan and L'Union régionale HLM Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

In Landes, residents affected by the fires should contact their local town hall, who will identify families affected and direct them toward various options for accommodations, including referring eligible residents to Airbnb.org. The municipalities covered are Biscarosse and Pontenx Les Forges.

Residents impacted by the wildfires can apply for housing if their primary home is in a mandatory evacuation zone, and we can verify your identity. You must have an Airbnb account to verify your identity, if you don't have one you can create one here. If you have an evacuation notice or an evacuation warning, you are not currently eligible for emergency housing through Airbnb.org.
