The new initiative — “Hospitality for Hope” — will focus on connecting hotels to health agencies to provide the temporary housing, but some hotels may be used as “alternative care sites,” such as a place to stay for quarantined people, the association said.
As part of the initiative, the association will create a national database to aid coordination among the federal government, local emergency management and public health agencies.
The number of hotels signed up for the initiative, by state, is available here.
