Host Family Resources

This sample form gives suggestions regarding what items may need to be addressed in your formal agreement as well as what information should be available in the event of an emergency. A residency agreement is a contract between the host family and the homestay and, as such, it is a legal document.  FOCUS Homestays cannot give legal advice and these documents should not be construed as legal advice.
For helpful suggestions which can help you have a successful homestay please refer to our Host Family’s Guide to Hosting an International Student (a Google Document)
