Advice for hosts

We know there’s a lot to think about when deciding to host refugees and people seeking asylum.  We are here to offer support along the way, and to guide and advise your hosting experience.  We’re also able to connect you with our large community of hosts able to offer their experience and advice.

Hosting can last for as little or as long as you’d like. You tell us your availability; it could be anything from a few nights to several months.

Please read the information below to find out more about hosting. You may also want to check our FAQs and read some of our case studies to get more insight into what hosting is like.

If you still have questions, you can request a call back or email us at info@refugeesathome.org.
