Apprentices and Homestead residents

Has we all know, Connor will have his property called The Homestead, where he can invite people to live in. We also know that he will recruit Apprentices like Ezio did in previous games. I was wondering, will the residents and assassins recruits be the same? The Homestead is the only Assassin base in North America i can think so far. If they do, will they serve different uses? Like a Assassin is good at hunting, other is good at medicine and can save other from death.
