In 1983, a small group of community leaders and doctors raised the funds to refurbish a rundown Pittsburgh mansion at 233 McKee Place, only blocks from Pittsburgh’s hospital complex. McKee Place was the first of the Family House facilities, opening its doors in November 1983 as a place where families of patients with life-threatening illnesses could stay in comfortable, supportive surroundings at very little expense.
Family House McKee offers the following amenities:
  • A total of 32 beautifully decorated bedrooms with private baths, telephones and televisions
  • Four handicap accessible double rooms
  • Centralized kitchen with large cooking and dining areas
  • Living room
  • T.V. lounge
  • Library
  • Outdoor patio
  • Computer with internet access
  • Wireless internet access

Parking

Limited parking is available for our guests behind the house.
*Please do not park in the lot next to Family House McKee, it does not belong to Family House.
