What is the name of your son's group home...or who runs it? By the phone number, I assume it's in Houston.

I know a couple of families who are doing this, they own the house, 24 hour supervision is paid for by HCS waiver. They could not find a provider that had a suitable 3/4 bed group home close to where they live, so they recruited other families and went in together on the house.This would be a golden opportunity to buy a house seeing how houses are not moving well on the market, and people are motivated to sell at a reasonable price.Nagla> >> > Does anyone have a list of group homes in Texas?
