Host Home or Room Rental?

Host Home

By becoming a Host Home, you’ll be given the opportunity to mentor a young adult in foster care, working together to help them achieve their goals and attain valuable life skills while they reside in your home.

Room Rental

This option is recommended for those who might have a room available in the home, but don’t have theb time or interest to mentor a young adult. Although this route is much less time intensive, your participation can still make a huge impact.

Compensation

EA Family Services pays the following directly to you:

  • $700/mo for rent & utilities (Host Home & Room Rental)
  • $350/mo per mentor for mentoring responsibilities (Host Home)
