About HALO HOUSE FOUNDATION

Halo House Foundation is a Houston-based 501(c)(3) that provides low-cost, fully furnished temporary housing and supportive services to blood-cancer patients and their caregivers who travel to the Texas Medical Center for treatment. The organization operates a campus of apartments designed to reduce the financial and logistical burdens on families so patients can continue life-saving care. In recent years Halo House has undertaken a capital expansion campaign to more than double its capacity (from 33 to 76 apartments) to meet consistently high demand; the campaign reported substantial progress toward its $16.4M goal in 2024–2025. Halo House publishes audited financials and Form 990s and reports measurable impact metrics (days of housing provided, families served, and dollars saved by patients) to demonstrate program reach and financial stewardship.
