Host families of exchange students are expected to treat them as a member of the family and not as just a visitor. Ideas and cultural norms are exchanged in everyday life between the two parties. Host families are also not expected to be paid to host a student, but can be claimed as a charitable donation on one's federal income tax return.

Such as buying them food, running the water bill higher, extra electricity, etc.Not as payment to the family for hosting.
