This paper adopts a micro-level approach to examine the experiences of local hosts in Belgium and Switzerland using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design. Quantitative analysis of 754 survey responses revealed both positive experiences and key challenges, including difficulties with rule-making, intercultural communication, and psychological strain. Follow-up qualitative analysis, based on 58 in-depth interviews with local hosts, provided narrative insights into the most influential determinants and identified three hosting trajectories: harmonious cohabitation, gradual fatigue and exhaustion, and dysfunctional coexistence. Our findings show that homestay accommodation can foster meaningful connections and positive intergroup interactions when supported by a welcoming institutional framework, while also highlighting the temporal dynamics of hosting. Overall, the study underscores the importance of attending to \u2018micro-moves\u2019 in everyday humanitarian practices, and the need to re-politicize domestic hospitality within a multi-level governance framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"kwd-title-d37246597e482\">KEYWORDS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Domestic hospitality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>homestay accommodation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>daily humanitarianism<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ukrainian refugees<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>mixed-methods<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author(s) : Emanuele Politi, Kaat Van Acker, Marija Dangubi\u0107 ,Rose-Lima&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[306,856,7,224,575,9,378,297,745,103,647],"class_list":["post-37969","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-society-family-racism","tag-306","tag-accommodation","tag-article","tag-belgium","tag-civil-society","tag-english-language","tag-housing","tag-humanitarian-assistance","tag-private-hosting","tag-refugees","tag-ukrainians"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=37969"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37969\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38551,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37969\/revisions\/38551"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=37969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=37969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=37969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
