We're a home away from home for families of children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Located a few blocks from UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital in Mission Bay, the Nancy & Stephen Grand Family House houses up to 80 patient families per night and offers communal kitchens and living spaces, a toy room, outdoor courtyard, and more. Founded in 1981, Family House is a 501c3 nonprofit
organization providing family-centered care in a supportive community dedicated to caring for the whole family while their child is undergoing treatment.
“Family House was set up as cost-free place for families to stay, but also as a center based very much on communal experience, so these families could share with each other what they were going through,” said Family House co-founder Dr. Arthur Ablin, Head of Clinical Pediatric Oncology at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF).
