The host family can be a family that the child's parents recommend, such as neighbors, friends, a teacher/assistant from the school staff, etc.
The host family must be approved by Ezer Mitzion's social worker and the Ministry of Social Affairs' inspection.
Ezer Mitzion has a database of families all over the country which can be used in cases in which the child's parents do not have a recommended host family for their child.
