We are here to help.

Short-term medical housing in Abilene for people of the Big Country who are receiving care — or who have family in the hospital.

How it works

A ministry of hospitality, close to the hospital.

Houses for Healing is a ministry based in Abilene, Texas that provides short-term medical housing to people of the Big Country who receive medical care or who have family members staying in the hospital. Common needs for medical housing include accidents, premature birth, chemotherapy and radiation, amputation, extended therapy and other medical conditions.

Staying with us is free. Each house is cared for by a local church or partner who is glad to help with meals, rides and prayer — whatever you need, as much or as little as you'd like.
