The Nancy and Stephen Grand Family House Turns 10 This Year
Founded in 1981, Family House serves as a free home away from home for families with children undergoing treatment for cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. We provide vital access to life-saving treatment at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital and are 100% funded by our generous community.
At Family House, we believe that no family should face a medical crisis alone. When a child is fighting for their life, being near the people who love them most is essential to healing. That’s why we provide a warm, welcoming home where the whole family can stay together free of charge while their child receives treatment.
10th Anniversary
Bring Home the Magic
The Nancy and Stephen Grand Family House Turns 10 This Year. In 2016, Family House moved to Mission Bay so that even more families in our care could stay close to the new UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital when it opened in 2015. This year, we invite you to celebrate our mission with our entire community.
Five families staying at Family House received life-changing surprises when Brock Purdy and Toyota gifted them brand-new cars to help them access essential care for their children.

My son Kingston had to undergo a liver transplant at five months old. We were so grateful to stay at Family House — it was a beautiful, safe place to stay during his treatment, and they truly made us feel like family.

The most meaningful part about volunteering here is seeing the families be able to just come in and grab a meal. Giving them one less thing to worry about meant a great deal to me, and I am sure to them as well.

Family House is always the first place I think of when I can lend a hand. The care, heart, and support they provide to families is truly unmatched — it’s a special organization with incredible heart and soul.

Unfortunately cancer doesn’t come alone, it comes with bills and driving to the hospital. We are very blessed to have a place to stay, with warm food while our daughter is receiving chemo. Driving 275 miles each way is hard with a sick child.
