There’s a version of entrepreneurship people love to talk about — the polished story, the Shark Tank pitch, the million-dollar investment.
But that’s not how The Group Home App started.

This platform was born from pain.

Years ago, I was laid off from my well cushioned city job with benefits of 20 years. No warning. Just like that — I went from stable income to zero.
My house was in foreclosure. I was a single dad doing everything I could to provide for my son while feeling like the ground had been ripped from underneath me.

I remember nights staring at the ceiling wondering, “How did I get here?”
Not because I didn’t work hard. But because sometimes life just hits you like that.

From Lost to Led

I didn’t know it then, but that season was preparing me for something bigger.

After getting into the behavioral health field, I saw how broken the system really was.
Professionals couldn’t find group homes.
Group home owners had empty beds.
And clients — real people who needed care — were stuck in limbo.

It wasn’t just frustrating. It was heartbreaking.

I didn’t come from tech. I wasn’t a coder. I didn’t have a team of developers.
But I had a vision: What if there was a platform that brought everyone together?

That’s where The Group Home App was born — in that messy, uncertain, painful space between what is and what should be.

Built From Survival Mode

I wasn’t trying to build the next big thing.
I was trying to survive.
Trying to create something that could give someone else the help I wished I had when things were falling apart.

That’s why I keep going, even when it’s hard.
Even when people say, “I’ll download it later” — and they never do.
Even when agencies say they’re interested — but don’t follow through.
Even when I feel like giving up.

Because this isn’t just an app.
It’s a mission.
A movement.
And a reminder that even from rock bottom — something life-changing can grow.

What is The Group Home App?

The Group Home App is a digital platform designed to connect behavioral health professionals, group home owners, and families seeking care.
It helps professionals find safe placements faster.
It helps group homes fill beds with the right residents.
And it includes powerful tools like the Care Compass (AI assistant), self-care notifications, a perks program, and a resource locator — all built to reduce stress, save time, and improve outcomes.

We’re not just creating technology.
We’re creating better systems of care.

Better Connections. Better Care. Better Outcomes.
