Becoming a Host Family
Becoming a host family can be a very rewarding experience, introducing you to a unique perspective of the Air Force that few civilians will ever experience. We ask that you commit to hosting a minimum of two Airmen for as long as they are assigned to the dormitories, normally 1-3 years. Furthermore, we ask you to do something with your assigned Airmen once a month -- this could be as simple as going to a movie or event together, meeting for dinner, or having them over to your house. Basically, just show them some West Texas hospitality!
To apply to become a Home Away From Home host family, follow these steps:
-

Read and sign a liability waiver, found by clicking HERE.
-
Once we receive your application and waiver, we will conduct a background check on every adult in your household.
-
After we review your background check, we will match you with an available Airmen and send you instructions on how to contact them.
-
While waiting to be matched to your Airmen, please review our Resources page for additional information.
