AHLA
The American Hotel & Lodging Association's (AHLA) "Hospitality for Hope Initiative" was created to boost collaboration between the hotel industry and the health care community, first responders, displaced employees, and local communities during this crisis. As part of the initiative, AHLA is working closely with the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to create a national database of hotel properties willing to provide temporary housing for emergency and health care workers. In the short time since the initiative was announced, participation has grown from nearly 6,000 hotels to more than 15,000 properties with a combined 2.3 million rooms available near established healthcare facilities.
