The vagueness of your question requires a very in depth and clear answer. Ironic, yes?
British troops were on occasion housed and fed by colonists. But, those colonists were Loyalists who did not want the Americans to win and the soldiers invited to stay in the actual house were the officers. The best example of this is the British occupation of Philadelphia during the winter of 1777-78, the winter better known for Valley Forge. Most ordinary soldiers lived in barns, storehouses or tents. And, they were given food at times.
Because I am suspicious that you were talking about the Quartering Act, the answer to your vague question might be no. The Quartering Act did NOT force colonists to house British soldiers, as colonial and, later, American Propaganda would have you believe. The Act only echoed an early law that gave the Governor of a colony to make room for soldiers in unused government buildings.

How was stationing British troops in America related to British taxation of the colonists?
Stationing Britsh troops in America was related to the British taxation of the colonists because it was very costly to get the troops there and to support them. So, Britain needed another source of revenue to support their troops, and the best source they could find was the money the colonists had. So Britain taxed the colonists with various taxes such as the Stamp Act and the Townshend Act in order to aquire a new source of revenue in order to fund their troops presence in the colonies.

Why did parliament raise taxes in the colonies after the French and Indian War?
The excuse given was that taxes helped pay for British troops in the thirteen colonies, who were alleged to be there to "defend" the colonists. However there had never been large numbers of British troops in the colonies before except when the colonies became a battleground in the wars between France and England. At other times the colonists were left to defend themselves, from the Indians, or from French troops when the wars got going, before any British troops arrived. But after the French and Indian War the French were ejected from all of North America. There WAS no danger such as had existed before that war. With the French gone, who could these British troops be meant to oppose? The only answer was that the colonists themselves were the object of interest for the British troops. One of the real reasons for the taxes was that Britain was broke, the Treasury empty. It had been expensive to fight the long war in North America, so far from Britain, as well as in Europe, and even in the Pacific, and, it was a colonial dispute between the British colonies and the French colonies that touched off the war. But the British gained immense territories from the war in the end. And the British had received a LOT of help from the men of the colonies, fighting in their militia and colonial units alongside the British Regulars. These American soldiers were supported by taxes paid in the colonies they came from, so from the American point of view the colonists had already paid heavily for the prosecution of the war, in blood and money.
