Founded in 1981, Family House serves as a free home away from home for families with children undergoing treatment for cancer and other life-threatening illnesses by providing support, comfort and community. Family House is a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit organization providing free temporary housing to families of seriously ill children receiving treatment at the University of California San Francisco Benioff Children's Hospital. Qualifying families live more than 50 miles from UCSF, and many live at or below the low-income status as determined by UCSF. Our location sustains nearly a 100% occupancy rate and can accommodate 350 people per night. Family House is an independent organization led by a professional staff and board of directors dedicated to providing residential services free-of-charge to qualifying families. Since we receive no financial support from UCSF, or any other public entity, we rely solely on the generous contributions of individuals, corporations and foundations.
