Our Mission
Vision and Mission of the Texas Fire fighters Home

The mission of the Texas Fire Fighters Home (TFFH) is to provide short-term housing at little or no cost to firefighters and other first-responders while they are undergoing treatment at The Texas Medical Center (TMC).

Who Do We Serve?

We provide support to fire fighters and first responders receiving treatment at the Texas Medical Center.

Why The Need?

Firefighters have occupational risks from exposure to toxins and hazardous chemicals.  As a result, fire fighters suffer illnesses, particularly cancers, at a statistically higher rate than the average population.

How We Help!

We provide temporary, fully-furnished housing at little or no cost, to fire fighters and first responders while they are being treated at the Texas Medical Center.

Texas Fire Fighters Home is a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable corporation

Who We Serve
We Address The Needs of the Fire fighter Community

TFFH housing is open to fire fighters, first responders or immediate family members of a firefighter or first responder, who are undergoing active treatment at the Texas Medical Center (TMC). Both professional and volunteer firefighters may apply. There are no other restrictions based on gender, age, religion, national origin, financial status or language. Nor are there any restrictions as to residence.

Why The Need?
The Unique Medical Issues Faced by Our Fire fighters

Fire fighters have occupational risks from exposure to toxins and hazardous chemicals. As a result, firefighters suffer illnesses, particularly cancers, at a statistically higher rate than the average population. Specialized treatment for these illnesses often requires an extended stay near the Texas Medical Center. The cost of hotels and short-time housing for patients and their families coming to Houston for such treatment can be crippling and health insurance usually does not cover lodging expenses.

 

How You Can Help
Your Donations Impact the Lives of Our Firefighters

The Texas Fire Fighters Home can support our fire fighters and first responders with your help!

If you have a skill, we can use you!   Some of our volunteer needs are: serving as an Ambassador by being the friendly face while the firefighter is in town;  supporting our fundraising efforts, such as conducting mini-fundraisers, or helping with the annual gala; serving as our Public Relations person to help us get the news out about our endeavor;  helping us revise our printed media, assisting us with updating our videos; helping us gather statistics on firefighters with cancer; and of course helping us actually build our home If you have the skill, and the willingness to help, we can use YOU!
