Do you need a place to stay?  We are here to help.

While we can't guarantee placement, we will do our best to find a temporary home for you during this difficult time.  IFI Cincy is partnering with USA Homestays for longer housing needs  They help international students experience warmth, comfort and community in an American home.  We place students to live with selected American families so that the experience is culturally beneficial to both student and host.

We have asked all potential hosts to provide the following:

  • a bed/mattress
  • reliable WiFi
  • transportation
  • all members of household are healthy
  • household contains no at-risk individuals
  • background check
  • consideration for the belongings you may be bringing with you
  • expectation to host you at least until the end of the semester (April 30)

What you need to know
