Gift Houses of CARE

Here is a breakdown of how these models usually work and how you can get involved or start one. ​Types of Care Housing Models ​Not all "Gift Houses" serve the same purpose. Depending on your goal, the structure changes significantly: ​Medical Care Homes: (e.g., Ronald McDonald House) Providing free or low-cost lodging for families whose children are undergoing long-term hospital treatment. ​Transitional Housing: Short-to-mid-term housing for individuals transitioning out of homelessness, often paired with job training. ​Permanent Supportive Housing: Long-term donated housing for those with disabilities or the elderly who cannot live entirely independently. ​Disaster Relief Housing: Rapid-response housing donated to families who have lost everything to natural disasters.
