Group Home (Aspiring Owners)
A "Regular House" Isn't a Group Home. Yet.
There is a massive need for housing for individuals with disabilities (ID/DD) or mental health needs.
And yes, the funding can be life-changing for you and your residents.
But you can't just rent a townhouse, put "Group Home" on the mailbox, and wait for the state to send you checks.
That's not a business. That's an unlicensed facility (and it's illegal).
To get funded placements, you need to build a program that matches what the state is buying.
- Do you know the specific service definition for your state?
- Do you know the staffing ratios required?
- Do you have the policies that prove you can keep people safe?
Don't buy the furniture until you understand the funding.
