Support organization
Project Joy and Hope assists families of children and young adults receiving treatment in the Texas Medical Center, with cancer requests given priority. Approved support may address parking, meals, rent or mortgage, utilities, and transportation. A hospital professional refers the family using the program’s referral form, and awards depend on current resources. The Tulip Project offers furnished temporary housing near the Texas Medical Center to out-of-town families whose child or young adult has a serious illness. A hospital social worker or provider submits the referral, and a stay may last up to 90 days with a possible extension. The family pays a published application fee and monthly program fee, while placement depends on an available unit.
