Each host site has 2 to 3 spaces. You start by email, then complete a screening that includes a background check. The program does not post openings, so ask when you write.

Eligibility

Individuals or families living in a passenger vehicle. No RVs or large commercial vehicles. A background check and a signed conduct agreement are required.
