Our Mission

Cinco Charities, Inc. is proud to be affiliated with The National Association of Hospital Hospitality Houses, Inc. (NAHHH). The National Association of Hospital Hospitality Houses, Inc. is a non-profit corporation serving facilities that provide lodging and other supportive services to patients and their families when confronted with medical emergencies.

Each facility assures that a homelike environment is provided to persons who must travel to be with a patient or to receive necessary outpatient care. Our association with NAHHH provides us with the following benefits:

Participation in a Recognized National Organization

We join with hundreds of others interested in advancing the hospitality house cause. The national office communicates with national organizations and governments that put our agenda on the national map. Besides these external contacts, NAHHH also provides us with a network of new house contacts. One of the most valuable benefits of this membership is the exchange of information between NAHHH member houses.

Public Awareness

Through national and regional involvement, NAHHH Members build awareness among their own programs, major medical centers, medical and hospital auxiliaries, medical affiliates, and other groups who focus attention on the needs of families receiving medical care away from home.

Resource Center

The NAHHH Resource Center provides NAHHH Members with free copies of materials relevant to the start-up of new programs and for improving existing programs. The resource material is donated by houses or is the result of NAHHH-funded research. Resource Center materials include fund-raising, public relations, operational procedures and policies, job descriptions, by-laws, budgets, feasibility studies, guest registration forms and evaluations, statistics on salaries and hhh operations, pertinent articles from newspapers and magazines, hospitality houses and the law, planned giving, house design, brochures, newsletters, and much more.

National Referral Directory

The NAHHH National Referral Directory lists hospital hospitality houses nation-wide and the services provided by each. So not only can we help families coming to Katy for treatment, but we can also help families travelling to other areas all around the country get in contact with a hospitality house at their destination.
