Fisher House Michigan is a not-for-profit organization formed to improve the quality of life of our military members, retirees, Veterans, and their families and caregivers. The Organization supports the construction and operations of comfort homes built near VA Medical Centers in Michigan, called “Zachary and Elizabeth M. Fisher Houses.” The Organization works to inform the Veteran community, their families, and the general public about Fisher Houses, and provides necessary support to Fisher House operations as needed. Fisher House Michigan presently supports guests and operations at the Fisher Houses supporting the John D. Dingell Medical Center in Detroit and the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System, while raising awareness with veterans and caregivers and supporting efforts to expand our programs in Michigan.

Fisher Houses are comfort homes where military & Veterans’ families can stay free of charge, while a loved one is in the hospital.
100 of these homes are located at military and VA medical centers around the world.

Fisher Houses in Michigan have 16 suites, with private, mobility-accessible bedrooms and baths. Families share a common kitchen, laundry facilities, a warm dining room, an inviting living room, and a relaxing outdoor back patio.

The first Fisher House in Michigan opened at the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System in June 2020, and has since hosted 12,000 guests! Fisher House Detroit opened in February 2025.

With the help of donors all over Michigan, Fisher House Michigan supported the construction of both Houses. Today, FHM continues to provide meals, local transportation, overflow hotel stays, comfort items, and more, in support of the VA as they now operate these Fisher Houses.

Additionally, FHM supports the national Fisher House Foundation and the Department of Veterans Affairs, in raising funds and awareness to bring Fisher Houses to any Michigan community where the Department of Veterans Affairs decides a Fisher House is needed.

FHM set a strategic goal of raising $20,000,000 to support construction costs of Houses in Ann Arbor and Detroit, as well as to fund ongoing operations once the Foundation gifted the beautiful homes to the VA to operate. Our goal is to ensure families staying in Michigan Fisher Houses will not need to reach into their pockets for anything!

FHM is largely a volunteer organization with a small professional staff. Our careful stewardship of each donor dollar has earned FHM a 4-star (out of 4-stars), 100% rating from Charity Navigator, as well as a Platinum Rating for transparency from GuideStar Charity Rating System. With an annual gala, featuring Veteran storytelling, and with special fundraising events all year like the Memorial Day Match in the spring and the Patriots Pledge in the fall, FHM is winning over the hearts and minds of a grateful nation that recognizes the exceptional sacrifice our Active Military and Veterans have made.
