Why You Should Start a Group Home

Coordinate With City Officials and the Local Government

Each city or county has its zoning laws and licensing requirements. For example, in some states, individuals interested in opening their licensed facility need to write a letter of support and submit it to the local mental health department. In such instances, the state could request training paperwork and other documentation.

The best place to start your journey is the Department of Health and Human Services. Once you are there, you will be given more instructions based on the laws and regulations of the state and local government.
