USH constantly seeks devoted hosts to add to its family. Since we consider both our hosts and students part of The USH Family, there are some requirements that you must meet to become a host. These are:

	The host MUST live in the home that the extra bedroom is available in. We're not looking for "rooms for rent" but for people who would like to engage in cultural exchange with the student.
	All bedrooms must be furnished, containing at least: a bed, study desk, a chest of drawers and/or closet space and a study lamp.
	USH requires that the host will either be home or ensure that a trusted friend/neighbor will be present when the student arrives to welcome the student.
	The host must provide the student with a safe and clean environment.
	The bedroom must be ready for the student's arrival--organized and clean (including clean linens).
	Students will be responsible for organizing the room after they arrive and keeping it clean. During the student's stay, the host is responsible for basic cleaning only, such as vacuuming and washing the linens.
	Students must be given a set of keys to the home. Our students are all pre-screened and we have not had any history of them not returning keys or causing damage to any of our homestay homes.

Private bedrooms:
USH requires its hosts to offer students private bedrooms, which contain four enclosed walls. Should USH discover that a host is offering the students a shared room when they have claimed to have a private room, USH will pay the host the rate reflecting the shared price only. Shared rooms are only available when students are specifically traveling together and request to share.
