Methodology

GroupHomeLookup republishes public Texas license information so families and advocates can look up homes and understand the limits of that list. We do not invent providers, scores, reviews, or a statewide waiver-provider roster that does not exist in public form.

What this list includes — and what it does not

This directory lists 705 intermediate care facilities (ICF/IID) with an active Texas license as of November 9, 2026. That includes 13 State Supported Living Centers — large, campus-based programs — and hundreds of smaller community homes (most have six beds).

There is no public statewide roster of Home and Community-based Services (HCS) or Texas Home Living (TxHmL) waiver providers. Many of the group homes families find in Texas serve people through those programs, or other supports, and will not appear here. We do not invent that missing list.

To look for those homes, start with your local intellectual and developmental disability authority (LIDDA), confirm a home on HHSC’s TULIP search, and read how to get services.

What we include

The directory is the HHSC Intermediate Care Facilities for Individuals with an Intellectual Disability or Related Conditions (ICF/IID) file: 705 facilities with an active license as of 2026-11-09, downloaded 2026-11-11. That includes 13 named State Supported Living Centers and 634 six-bed community homes. We show the facility name, address, phone, city, county, capacity, certified flag, ownership type as published, license number when present, and the Facility ID as a stable key.

Two additional rows in the same file are labeled “state school / state center” but are not among the 13 named State Supported Living Centers. We label them as state-operated homes and do not call them SSLC campuses.

What we do not include

There is no public statewide roster of HCS or Texas Home Living waiver providers. We do not fabricate one, and we say so on the home page, this page, and directory pages.
We do not scrape TULIP. Inspection results, when you need them, are on HHSC’s TULIP search.
We do not collect user reviews or invent ratings, rankings, or composite scores.
We do not display email addresses or other contacts from the roster that are not needed for a public listing.

How names and pages are built

HHSC publishes facility names and many addresses in all caps. We convert them to a readable title case for display and keep the original text in our data files. Page addresses use the home’s name and city; if two homes share a name and city, we add the street or Facility ID so each page stays unique. Facility ID remains the stable key if a name changes in a later file.

Local authorities

The LIDDA directory is a transcription of https://resources.hhs.texas.gov/directories/lidda, fetched 2026-11-11. We copy the published name, counties served, and phone numbers — including odd formatting — rather than “correcting” the official page. If the official page and this site ever disagree, trust HHSC.

Refresh

The source workbook is public at https://apps.hhs.texas.gov/providers/directories/ICFIID.xlsx. A refresh script in this project downloads a new copy (or reuses a local snapshot), rebuilds the JSON used at build time, and records the as-of date from the workbook title and the download date. We do not silently overwrite raw snapshots: each dated file is kept.
