Since 1986, we have provided over 900,000 individual overnight accommodations to critically ill children and their families, from every state in the U.S. and more than 90 countries worldwide. Our unique programs bring comfort, hope, and joy to children and their families, enabling them to renew their spirits mentally and physically.
Hospital Housing
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. Accommodating up to 15 families a night, this facility provided an average of 2,000 overnight stays each month 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 fund the construction of a major new Believe In Tomorrow Children’s House at Johns Hopkins that will be located close to the hospital. The agreement 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.
Please watch the video below from Brian Morrison, Believe In Tomorrow Founder/President, for more details about the construction of our brand new Children’s House.
1915 McElderry Street, Baltimore MD
Opened in 1993 | Closed January 2024
INTERIM OPERATIONS
As we wait for construction to be completed on the new Children’s House, our hospital housing program is still active and serving families.
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.
