The Game and Airbnb are both stepping up to help families affected by the deadly wildfires burning across the Los Angeles area.
The Compton rapper announced in an Instagram Story this week that he will temporarily cover the cost of housing for a small group of families displaced by the fires.
In his post reshared by The Jasmine Brand, The Game said he and his talent manager Travis Wilson were organizing the assistance efforts.
“Me & @travforthestars are helping 10 families effected [sic] by the fires here get into @airbnb for a week free of charge,” The Game shared.
The “Hate It Or Love It” rapper directed people who might need help to send a direct message to Wilson on Instagram, adding: “Must have an identification or drivers license with address in the affected areas.”

Meanwhile, Airbnb is partnering with Los Angeles County’s 211 LA to connect people affected by the fires with a free place to stay.
The travel company is specifically offering assistance to those who either lost homes or were forced to evacuate in the Altadena, Malibu, Pacific Palisades, Pasadena, Santa Monica or Sylmar areas.
Affected residents can request assistance for temporary housing from Airbnb by filling out an intake form. The details can be found here.
