What are the requirements to stay at a Fisher House? How do I reserve a room?
Fisher Houses are given to the military services and Department of Veterans Affairs as a gift, and the commander or director of each medical center where the houses are located are responsible for establishing the eligibility, priorities, and selection criteria. Please communicate directly with a Fisher House manager for the requirements at a specific house from the "Current Houses" section of our web site.
Is there a charge to stay at a Fisher House?
No. Fisher Houses at VA medical centers do not charge a room fee; all room fees for guest families at all Army, Navy, and Air Force Fisher Houses are paid by Fisher House Foundation.
Q. Are Fisher Houses open to all veterans?
A. Fisher Houses are open to all veterans of all eras. Eligibility varies by location based on criteria established by the medical center, so it is best to reach out to the specific house for more information. Fisher House Foundation is committed to building sustainable, inclusive, equitable, and resilient communities.
