The Ulman Foundation
The Ulman Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting adolescents and young adults, along with their families, impacted by cancer. Through its comprehensive programs, the foundation addresses the physical, emotional, and social challenges that arise during treatment and survivorship.
One of its core services is the Ulman House, which provides free lodging for individuals undergoing cancer treatment away from home just blocks away from top hospitals and oncology programs in Baltimore, MD. The supportive residential environment is designed to reduce the financial and emotional burden of treatment travel.
In addition to housing, the Ulman Foundation offers virtual support groups and community programming that provide emotional support, peer connection, and survivorship resources for young adults navigating cancer treatment, recovery, and life beyond diagnosis. To learn more about all of these resources, visit their website.

Funding is awarded on a first‑qualified, first‑served basis, with priority given to very low‑income households, seniors, essential personnel, and special‑needs households.
