Types of Group Homes

Types of Group Homes


Group homes serve as residences for unrelated people who are unable to care for themselves independently, or need supervision due to behavioral problems. From the outside, most group homes look like typical houses in a residential neighborhood.
.Developmentally Disabled
Developmentally disabled individuals have permanent disabilities that cause mental and/or physical problems that prevent the person from living independently and caring for himself. Group homes encourage as much independence as is feasible and safe for these individuals.
Youth Homes
Group homes also serve abused and neglected youth and runaways as a shelter. Youths who have committed criminal activities may reside in a more restrictive group home as an alternative to prison, or as part of parole conditions.
Substance-Abuse Recovery
Similar to a halfway house, another type of group home helps recovering addicts overcome their addiction and re-enter society as functional individuals while offering appropriate monitoring and support.
Low-Income Group Homes
Some group homes serve special populations with low income, such as the elderly and teenage mothers and their children.
Community Opposition
Regardless of the type, many homeowners oppose group homes in residential neighborhoods, as they fear they will cause crime and/or plummeting home values. Group home administrators say these fears are unfounded. (See Reference.)

Indian Housing - HUD's Office of Native American Programs (ONAP)
The Department of Housing and Urban Development's policy to promote the general welfare by meeting the national goal of providing decent, safe and affordable housing for lower-income Native American, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian families is administered by the Office of Native American Progams (ONAP).
ONAP ensures that safe, decent and affordable housing is available to Native American families, creates economic opportunities for Tribes and Indian housing residents, assists Tribes in the formulation of plans and strategies for community development, and assures fiscal integrity in the operation of the programs.

The Department is committed to vesting in Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs) the maximum amount of responsibility for administering their housing programs. To accomplish this objective, the Department consults with American Indian and Alaska native governments, TDHEs and national Indian and Native Hawaiian organizations when developing legislation, regulationis and policies that affect tribes.

The Department also encourages the development of mutually beneficial partnerships designed to assist Native Americans by expanding homeownership and affordable housing opportunities; empowering residents of Indian housing through the creation of jobs and economic development opportunities; enforcing fair housing opportunities; making Indian housing development drug-free; and helping to end overcrowding and homelessness.
