Home renting app Airbnb has donated $15,000 to the Choose Topeka program that pays people to move to the capital city, the Greater Topeka Partnership announced Thursday. Airbnb’s cash injection signals a national partnership with the Choose Topeka program after it was extended into 2021. The funds are intended to give potential Choose Topeka applicants free housing while they visit the area to tour neighborhoods and jobs. “As some consumers think through relocating, local, hosted stays enabled by Airbnb provide a fantastic option to explore neighborhoods before making a decision,” said Barbara Stapleton, vice president of business retention and talent initiatives at GTP. “Through this partnership, potential residents will be able to ‘try before they buy,’ prior to making the commitment to the Choose Topeka program – and can truly experience what life could look like here if selected.”
