Do you have a spare bedroom in Orange County? Turn it into stable, year-round income by becoming a host family for an international student attending school here in the LA/OC area.
We're a placement agency that matches students (here for the school year, often staying 1–4 years) with caring local host families. Host families typically receive $2,000+ per month.
100% FREE for host families — we never charge you any fees. We're paid a placement fee by the student's family, not by you. Every dollar of your monthly stipend is yours.
What you provide:
- A private bedroom
- Home-cooked meals
- Transportation to and from school
- A warm, welcoming home
What we handle:
- Matching you with a vetted student near you
- Monthly payments and paperwork
- Guardianship/custodianship coordination (many students are minors)
- School & parent liaison, plus support whenever you need it
It's not a short-term rental — it's one student, steady income, and often a relationship that lasts for years. Many of our host families are empty-nesters with a room to spare and time to give.
Hosting across OC: Irvine, Tustin, Anaheim Hills, Yorba Linda, Fullerton, Brea, Buena Park, Cerritos, Cypress.
Requirements: 25+, a spare private room, a reliable car, and a safe home. A background check is required (standard for student homestay).
