Cupertino, CA – June 8, 2026 – In a groundbreaking move that promises to transform America’s fight against homelessness, GiveaRoof.org today announces its official partnership with United Airlines through the airline’s MileagePlus “Miles on a Mission” program. This collaboration launches a powerful new channel for converting airline miles—resources that often go unused into immediate, dignified shelter for those experiencing homelessness.
Following the explosive success of Claudio Bono’s book The Homelessness Fix: How to Save the World While Everyone Else Argues About It, which reached the #1 position on Amazon in key categories including Poverty & Social Issues, this partnership marks a pivotal “from pages to action” moment. Bono, a 36-year hospitality veteran, community leader, and GiveaRoof.org founder, delivers a data-driven, taxpayer-free blueprint to address homelessness by harnessing untapped resources such as hotel points, credit card rewards, and Airline miles.
Through the dedicated donation portal (https://donate.mileageplus.com/Charity/Details/3203952), United MileagePlus members can now seamlessly donate unused miles directly to Give a Roof Every mile translates into safe hotel stays for screened individuals and families ready to rebuild their lives with stability, support, and a path toward employment.
No new taxes. No endless debates. Just roofs, dignity, and results.
This partnership builds on GiveaRoof innovative model:
• Centralized coordination with hotels, nonprofits, and communities.
• Rigorous screening and personalized support designed to promote long-term success.
• Economic multipliers that help fill vacant hotel rooms, generate Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue for cities, create jobs, and stimulate local economies.
As Claudio Bono states in his Book The Homelessness Fix:
“This isn’t charity; it’s smart economics that saves the world while others argue.”
Every mile translates into safe hotel stays for screened individuals and families ready to rebuild their lives with stability, support, and a path toward employment and/ or reunite long-distance Families.
California’s homelessness crisis demands bold, proven solutions, and GiveaRoof.org offers leaders a practical roadmap for measurable results. By embracing initiatives such as this, policymakers can help reduce homelessness, provide dignified housing solutions, and unlock private resources that traditional approaches have often failed to leverage.
Supporters believe initiatives like this can help expand awareness, strengthen collaboration, and contribute to meaningful progress in addressing homelessness through practical solutions focused on homes, hope, and human dignity.
Through ongoing discussions with policymakers and stakeholders, GiveaRoof.org is advocating for updates to IRS Code Section 170, which governs charitable contributions.
Central to scaling this initiative is a targeted refinement that would allow donations of loyalty points, miles, and rewards at fair market value, creating stronger incentives for individuals, corporations, and travel industry leaders to participate at scale.
According to GiveaRoof.org, this change could help unlock an estimated $25 billion annually in currently expiring assets, accelerating efforts to address homelessness without burdening taxpayers. It empowers everyday Americans to make a direct impact while providing economic benefits to hotels and airlines.
“With this reform, the partnership with United Airlines becomes a model for how the private sector, corporate innovation, and public policy can work together to address homelessness”
“This partnership with United Airlines is more than a donation portal—it’s the beginning of the end of homelessness in America,” said Claudio Bono. “Following the success of The Homelessness Fix, momentum around the mission continues to grow. Together with United, we’re turning unused miles into real roofs and real futures. We believe initiatives like this can help expand awareness, strengthen collaboration, and contribute to meaningful progress in addressing homelessness.”
GiveaRoof.org has also entered into an agreement with Product Blue.
