The proper title should be: "Airbnb will ask hosts to offer accomodation"

It is great initiative but Airbnb does not own locations .

Why would you say that? If I bought 1000 hotel nights for refugee wouldn’t it be me offering them free accommodation despite the fact that I own zero hotels?

The AirBnB spokesperson says

> ... we will be paying for these stays ...

So I think it’s pretty clear

You are right, i think this title is better:

AirBnB will pay hosts for accomodation for 20k refugees.

Anyways great initiative.
