Lodging Resources During Treatment

Some patients and their families may have to travel some distance for their cancer care. Staying closer to your treatment site can relieve the pressure and costs associated with repeated travel, especially if you need to be at your treatment center for multiple days. Ask your social worker or navigator for treatment site-specific lodging information, as some treatment centers operate and maintain their own housing options for patients with long-term or repeated treatment needs. Please note, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many resources listed here are temporarily closed or offering limited services. Be sure to check with each organization about service availability.
