Although our 1915 McElderry Street location has closed its doors, our hospital housing program is still active and serving families while we wait for our new Children’s House to be built!
INTERIM OPERATIONS
As we wait for construction to be completed on the new Children’s House at Johns Hopkins, we are proud to partner with the Residence Inn-Johns Hopkins Campus to offer our families a home away from home. Although the rooms are located at The Residence Inn, all families are guests of The Children’s House and our staff will exclusively handle all aspects of scheduling stays. The referral process to request a room is the same.
If you are a family and would like more information on hospital housing, please contact The Children’s House staff.
Interim Location:
Our families stay at The Residence Inn- Johns Hopkins Campus

The Believe In Tomorrow Children’s House at Johns Hopkins has been the cornerstone of Believe In Tomorrow’s hospital housing program for over 30 years. It has provided overnight accommodations to families of children receiving treatment at the world-renowned Johns Hopkins Children’s Center in Baltimore, MD. This facility has provided overnight stays to families from every state in the U.S. and over 90 countries worldwide.
COMING SOON! A Brand New State-of-the-Art Children’s House
At the end of 2023, Believe In Tomorrow signed an agreement with Johns Hopkins University, that will allow them to acquire the property of our 1915 McElderry location, and in return JHU will help fund the construction of a major new Believe In Tomorrow Children’s House at Johns Hopkins that will be located 2 blocks from the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. This will allow us to reimagine the concept of pediatric hospital housing and build a truly unique world-class facility that will meet the needs of critically ill children and their families for many years to come.
