LODGING ASSISTANCE
The Lodging Assistance Program provides financial assistance with temporary housing costs specifically related to the transplant that arise due to follow-up care and unexpected complications.
Get Started!
Many recipients, candidates and family members require lodging in the area surrounding their transplant center for follow-up medical care.
Often times, candidates and recipients lack the resources to afford the additional expenses they incur while receiving treatment far from home when they are still having to pay for their permanent home. Additionally, there are often times unexpected lodging needs that arise with follow-up care and unexpected complications, and many patients and families cannot afford this cost.
The program is not meant to take the place of pre-transplant planning nor is it intended to address short-term/on-going follow-up visits to the transplant center. Requests for post-transplant assistance will not be approved pre-transplant.
