Housing Resources

Lease Guaranty Program

The Lease Guaranty Program was designed to ease the burden of high housing costs in Boston for residents (including interns) and fellows. All residents and fellows who are salaried through Boston Children’s are eligible to participate in this program.

If a landlord requires advance payment of the last month’s rent and/or a security deposit, Boston Children’s Hospital will guarantee payment to the landlord according to the lease guaranty procedure. In return, the resident or fellow agrees to reimburse Boston Children’s Hospital for any payment Boston Children’s Hospital is required to make under this guaranty.

Information about this program can be requested through your program director or the HR Service Center at 617.355.7780 or via email to HRESC@childrens.harvard.edu
