The Believe in Tomorrow Children’s House at Johns Hopkins is beginning efforts to build a brand new, state-of-the-art Children’s House! 

Our 1915 McElderry Street location is currently closed. However, we are proud to partner with The Residence Inn-Johns Hopkins Medical Campus to provide accommodations to our Believe In Tomorrow families while the new Children’s House is being constructed. The hotel is just 2 blocks away from the hospital (4 min walk). Although rooms are located at the hotel, families are guests of The Children’s House and our staff handles all parts of scheduling the stay from referral through checkout.
