Have you learned how to host a student from a Muslim-majority country who was planning to go home but has been advised not to return home for the summer?

HOSTING OPPORTUNITIES...
Alabama
Michigan, Grand Rapids Area
North Carolina, Triangle Area
North Carolina: I (virginia.fitt@gmail.com) am coordinating an effort to find summer hosts for students impacted by the Executive Order and students from Muslim-majority countries who were planning to go home but can't or are being legally advised not to return home for the summer. I am looking for:
(1) Full summer hosts
(2) Partial summer hosts (a few weeks)
(3) Back-up hosts (for a weekend or week to fill in for hosts who are traveling)
Hosting would involve a bed (preferably a bedroom or sleeper sofa), basic food (meals with your family) and occasional transportation (to downtown areas, shopping). You can expect students to assist with light housework, light cooking and light/infrequent childcare. (More intensive housework/cooking or childcare arrangements would need to be worked out directly with the student.)
It will be a few months before we need to lock down arrangements (I am in touch with universities), so please email me at virginia.fitt@gmail.com (even if you just think you may be able to assist) and please share with friends.
