What is the incentive for a family to host this boy?

I understand the value that someone in his position gets from being able to live and study in California. But you have to give value to take value right?

The host family gets to help someone to have a better life, and has the opportunity to get to know a creative and optimistic young man from a foreign country.

it seems this is more of a "charity" than a "business". also it may be possible to take back your expenses when he graduates.
