When we first opened our doors in 1981, Dr. Arthur Ablin meant Family House to be a "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."

40 years later, we are proud to carry Dr. Ablin's legacy to provide free housing, meals, and more to families from all over the world.

Landyn was born and raised in San Diego and has lived in the Bay Area for a year and a half. He aspires to become a child life specialist, so working at Family House was an easy decision for him!

Landyn's favorite part about being in the house is getting to engage with all the courageous kids and their families, seeing the power of love, patience and bravery. In his spare time, he loves anything and everything that has to do with art! Painting, sculpting, and graphic design all hold a special place in his heart.

When families receive the devastating call that their child has a terminal illness, they're faced with a sudden and overwhelming journey.

Family House welcomes guests from all walks of life, near and far. If there's one thing that can bring diverse families together, it's the community that is found the moment they walk through our doors.

Family House is proud to provide a home away from home, free of financial stress while their child receives treatment for various life-threatening diseases.

Right after her 1st birthday, Jocelyn was diagnose

Right after her 1st birthday, Jocelyn was diagnosed with stage 4, high-risk neuroblastoma. When a 7x7 cm. tumor was discovered in her chest, it was wrapped around major arteries and nerves, coming dangerously close to her spinal cord.

The Dominguez family’s world was flipped upside down and they were faced with the challenges of getting Jocelyn to treatment over two hours away from home. That was when Jocelyn’s mother, Chrissy, her husband, and their son found out about Family House.

Hear directly from Chrissy about their journey through Jocelyn’s treatment and recovery, and how Family House became a safe haven for them through it all.

We’re delighted to welcome Todd Kovacevich as the incoming Chair of the Family House Board of Directors.

Todd and his family became involved with Family House after the loss of son, Joey, to brain cancer. The Meditation Room on our first floor is named for him and inspired by the beauty of one of his favorite places, the Maroon Bells in Colorado.
