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)

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
