Hope's Harbor Family Hospitality Homes

Hope's Harbor provides free hospitality services to families whose child is receiving care at any Fort Wayne medical facility. Families can request a room by phone or through the public Guest Inquiry link; staff verify the child's patient status, screen potential guests, and arrange a welcome tour. Its Lutheran and Dupont houses provide 14 private bedrooms in total, meals and pantry access, laundry, hygiene items, family gathering spaces, informal community, and hospital-provided shuttle service. Services are available year-round, but current vacancies, waitlist priority, maximum stay, and advance-request requirements are not published. Hope's Harbor also hosts Hopeloween, a free public family event that is separately represented because it has its own audience, registration path, and date.
