It depends upon the specific program.
Host families are traditionally not paid. They are volunteers whom take exchange students into their homes as part of the family.
However, programs usually provide a stipend, which depends upon the length of time the student stays in their home.
For example, I hosted a student for 2 days, and was given 60 dollars.
But when you host students over a longer period of time, the stipend grows.
This stipend is for expenses the family has because of the student. Such as buying them food, running the water bill higher, extra electricity, etc.
Not as payment to the family for hosting. (sorry dude)
Sometimes, you can also choose whether to take the stipend, or have it donated.
My family hosts exchange students through the school, and we can choose to donate our stipend to the school.
