Group homes for adults with disabilities
Families often search for a group home when an adult with a disability needs a stable place to live, with staff nearby, and a chance to be part of a community. In Texas that everyday phrase covers more than one kind of home.
A group home is not a single license type. It may be a small community house licensed as an intermediate care facility (ICF/IID), a home funded through a Medicaid waiver such as Home and Community-based Services (HCS), a host home, or support in a person’s own apartment. The legal names matter because they change how someone applies, who pays, and which rules apply.
What you can look up here
GroupHomeLookup lists the 705 ICF/IID facilities that appear in the Texas Health and Human Services Commission’s public directory, including 13 State Supported Living Centers. You can search by name, city, county, or ZIP and open a page for each home with the address, phone, capacity, and license facts as they were published.
We do not rate homes, collect reviews, or invent a “best of” ranking. Inspection details live in TULIP, HHSC’s official long-term care search — we link out so you can verify.
If the home you need is not on this list
That is common, and it does not mean the home is unofficial. Many adults live in group homes or host homes through HCS, or receive supports at home through Texas Home Living (TxHmL) or other programs. There is no public statewide file of those providers that we can lawfully republish. Your local authority (LIDDA) is the place to ask for the current provider options in your area and to get on an interest list when that is the next step.
