How to Start a Group Home for Foster Children? In order for you to help out those who need it most, you need to become FAMOUS in your particular market niche. If you are looking for different ways on how to start a group home for foster children, then you need to network at the appropriate locations. For example, if you are in Texas, the best thing to do would be to phone the ‘FIT” program or foster in Texas program in order to get signed up. In Texas, as in most other states, there is a HUGE shortage of foster families willing to foster infants, toddlers, teenagers, and sibling groups. A great example of becoming FAMOUS in your particular niche is the example of a foster mother in Victoria Texas, names Viola Holman. The Holmans have a group home in Cuero Texas (near Victoria) which is licensed for 12 children. The Holmans have fostered over 40 children during a 6 (six) year period and in doing so, have not only helped out the community and the lives of these children, but she has literally become famous in the process! People know her in the community and is now so well-entrenched in the community, that she is on the board of directors for Foster Parents of Victoria, Inc. This is an amazing story and goes to show what you can do when you focus on starting a group home for Foster Children.
