Self-Located Housing: The participant is given the opportunity to find and secure their own housing arrangements. The participant must ensure that they have made the selection for Self-Housing or Sponsor Referred/Employer Housing (whichever is offered) on the Program Application. All details of the self-housing should be given to the Sponsor no later than OCTOBER 1st, 2024

Sponsor Referred Housing: The Sponsor has located and will pre-arrange housing for each participant for the entire duration of the program. Each participant selecting Sponsor Referred Housing is required to pay a Sponsor $165 Non-Refundable Housing Registration Fee at the time of application.
The move-in date is two days before your DS-2019 start date. If you arrive earlier, you are responsible for your accommodation until that date.

The housing is set up by your Sponsor; however, the payment and any lease and/or rooming agreement is between the Exchange Visitor and Housing Facility directly.

The Sponsor Referred Housing is Extended Stay America-Universal Blvd., 8750 Universal Blvd. Orlando, FL 32819, US. Please check the accommodation website (https://www.extendedstayamerica.com/hotels/fl/orlando/convention-center-universal-blvd?channel=gmb-listing&utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=gmb_listing) to get more information on the hotel, amenities, and area.

Each room will have furnishings as it is a hotel room. Each room will have 2 double beds and a sleeper sofa. There are laundry facilities on-site. WIFI is included.

The participant will be required to pay for the first 30 nights in advance 45 days prior to arrival. The cost of the monthly rate will be split between the participants sharing the room. After the first 30 nights, the participant will be responsible for paying the rent to the hotel by placing their bank account information online. The bank card must be on file before the 30th night of stay. One participant will need to place their American bank card on file to pay the room rent each week, and the other participants need to pay that participant their share of the rent 2 days before it is due. Rent is paid one week in advance once the initial pre-paid 30 nights has been fulfilled. The participant will be able to check into the room after 4 PM on the date of arrival.

The daily rate for a room with three people is $69+ 12.5% taxes= $77.62 per night. Each participant would pay $25.88 per day.

The daily rate for a room with four people is $74+12.5% taxes= $83.25 per night. Each participant would pay $20.81 per day, and two people would need to share a bed.

All participants are required to pay for the housing through the end date of the housing contract. If a participant needs to leave the program for any reason before completion, that participant is still responsible for paying for the housing through the end of the room reservation and/or housing end date.
