About GroupHomeLookup

GroupHomeLookup is an independent Texas directory of licensed ICF/IID group homes and State Supported Living Centers, with plain-language guides for families, adults looking for a home, and advocates. It is not a government website and is not affiliated with HHSC, CMS, or Medicare.

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.

Why this site exists

People searching for a special needs group home, a disability group home, or a group home for an autistic adult often land on jargon first. We use the words families type, then explain the official program names. We also say clearly when a public list does not exist — especially the missing statewide HCS and Texas Home Living provider roster — so no one is left thinking this directory is complete for every kind of group home.

How you can use it

Search or browse licensed ICF/IID homes, then verify a listing on TULIP.
