our-apartments-slider2.jpg

  • Should an apartment become available, applicants must sign an apartment lease for a minimum of TWO WEEKS and may stay at Halo House for a maximum of THREE MONTHS

  • If a patient has had an allogenic stem cell transplant while they are residing at Halo House, then their lease may be extended for one month (for a maximum stay of FOUR MONTHS)

  • A letter from the patient’s doctor or social worker confirming the allogenic stem cell transplant is required before the lease will be extended

Wait List

  • Applicants will be added to our wait list and will receive an email confirmation within two days of application submission

  • The wait for an available apartment can be anywhere from one to three months

  • Your email confirmation will provide suggestions for additional housing options.  It is impossible to know exactly when a Halo House apartment will be available, therefore, we strongly encourage you to get on wait lists for other organizations

  • If your need date changes, DO NOT submit a new application as this will only delay your application process

  • To make any changes to your application, please call 713-665-8852 or send an email to mail@HaloHouseFoundation.org letting us know the patient’s full name and the changes to be made
