Just Like Home is an independently owned and
operated company specializing in short-term housing. Originally founded
in 1998 as a homestay placement company serving
international visitors, Just Like Home quickly evolved into a
comprehensive short-term housing placement agency for all visitors to the Washington DC
metro areas as well as to Los Angeles/Beverly Hills and San Diego,
California. Just Like Home maintains an extensive inventory
of short-term housing, including apartments, houses, extended-stay suites, homestays and roommate referral. We welcome business and medical
professionals, scholars, fellows, researchers, interns, and students. Just
Like Home has its headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland, 10 minutes from our
Nation's capitol, Washington, DC. Our
mission for international guests who chose our homestay or roommate
options is two-fold. First, our goal is to provide exceptional, memorable
home away from home experiences and accommodations for visitors to our areas. Second, we seek to promote educational and
cultural experiences among our host families, visitors and partners,
participating in our international program. Just Like Home is a member of
the Association of International Educators (NAFSA) and various
organizations, promoting worldwide understanding through cross-cultural
exchange and immersion. We proudly serve international organizations,
schools, students and all visitors to our service areas.
As a vehicle for cultural exchange and
awareness, Just Like Home operates under the concept that cross-cultural
experiences broaden the understanding among people around the world.
Through our international program, we strive to build bridges of
understanding among different cultures with the anticipation of a better
and peaceful world. This is primarily achieved by providing the
opportunity for international visitors to live with American host
families. Furthermore, Just Like Home provides the support to help make
the experience enjoyable for both host family and participants. |
