  9. What is the Hospital Housing Program?
    As a leader in hospital housing, Believe In Tomorrow offers families a place to stay when traveling far from home for medical treatment.  The Believe In Tomorrow Children’s House at Johns Hopkins provides a “home-away-from-home” to families worldwide who are traveling to the Johns Hopkins Hospital for treatment.  The 15-bedroom facility offers a community of support while providing over 2,000 individual overnight accommodations each month to children and their families. A second hospital housing facility, the Believe In Tomorrow House at St. Casimir, located in Canton, Md., has seven individual apartments. This nationally significant project is the first stand-alone hospital housing facility in the United States to focus exclusively on the long-term housing needs of pediatric bone marrow transplant patients, and their parents and siblings. back to top
  10. What is the Respite Housing Program?
    With the only respite housing program in the United States, Believe In Tomorrow provides children with life-threatening illnesses and their families an escape from the stressful routine of medical treatments.  Families are invited to a peaceful destination to renew themselves mentally and physically, free of charge, and spend quality time together while enjoying simple activities that characterize family life.  Believe In Tomorrow occasionally receives generous donations such as free meals or free activities for the families to enjoy while staying at the respite facilities. back to top
  11. What is the Military Initiative?
    Families in the United States Armed Forces with a child receiving treatment at a military hospital often find themselves far from home without the support of extended family members. The Military Initiative prioritizes military families in our respite housing facilities. Believe In Tomorrow therefore acts as an outside support system that gives the opportunity for military families to reconnect in a comfortable environment. We continue to serve both military and civilian families in all of our facilities, but two respite houses are dedicated to the Military Initiative: the Believe In Tomorrow House On The Bay, opened summer 2008, and the Believe In Tomorrow House at Pinnacle Falls, opening in 2009. back to top
