According to a survey of hosts conducted in 2023, 56 percent of hosts in Houston said they plan to use the money they earn from hosting to keep up with rising costs of living, while more than a third said hosting has helped them stay in their home.<sup>5</sup> For many hosts, eliminating the revenue earned through Airbnb would be a major blow, in some cases undermining their ability to afford to live in the region.</p> <p>“This new analysis underscores how home sharing is an important economic lifeline for many Houston residents and a vital contributor to Houston’s tourism economy,” said Luis Briones, Senior Public Policy Manager at Airbnb. “It will help inform our work with Houston leaders to develop fair, balanced regulations that balance the economic benefits of home sharing with the needs of the community.”</p> <p>Airbnb remains committed to partnering with Houston leaders to support responsible tourism. We continue finding innovative ways to improve the experience of hosts, guests and local communities, like with our <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/3345">disruptive parties ban</a>. While incidents are rare on Airbnb, we continually invest in new technology to reduce the risk of disruptive parties, like our <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/3280">reservation screening</a> and dedicated anti-party measures for holidays like <a href="https://news.airbnb.com/airbnb-cracks-down-on-holiday-weekend-parties-with-anti-party-technology/">Fourth of July</a> and <a href="https://news.airbnb.com/how-were-working-to-reduce-the-risk-of-disruptive-parties-this-halloween/">Halloween</a>. Thanks to these anti-party measures, we’ve seen an over 50 percent global decrease in the rate of party reports to us since 2020, while last year just 0.035% of reservations globally resulted in a report of a party.<sup>6</sup> </p> <p>Other tools and resources we offer to support local communities, hosts, and law enforcement include: </p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>For neighbors, our <a href="http://airbnb.com/neighbors">Neighborhood Support Line</a> is available 24/7 to report concerns to us in real-time about a home they believe is listed on Airbnb</li> <li>Hosts and guests have access to our 24-hour Safety Line, to directly reach our Safety team for urgent support, such as to report a suspected party in progress.</li> <li>Hosts can also get a <a href="https://news.airbnb.com/airbnb-and-minut-collaborate-on-noise-prevention-support-for-hosts/">free noise sensor</a>, which has been found to help proactively address noise issues before they start while respecting guest privacy. We provide <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/resources/hosting-homes/a/tips-to-help-prevent-parties-at-your-property-223">tips</a> on steps hosts can take to help prevent parties in their listing.</li> <li>We work closely with law enforcement on relevant criminal investigations, and our online <a href="https://news.airbnb.com/airbnb-launches-new-law-enforcement-portal/">law enforcement portal</a>
