Not Sure What a Group Home Is?
Let’s Break It Down
A Group Home is a state-licensed residence offering care, housing, and supervision for individuals who need daily living support—such as Veterans, residential youth, maternity clients, individuals with disabilities, those in recovery, or people with behavioural challenges.
It’s a home-like setting, typically with 4–6 residents, designed to foster safety, independence, and dignity. Best of all, you can start a group home using either your own property or a rented home—making it accessible and flexible for first-time entrepreneurs.

Breaking Down the Profit Potential of Group Homes
Starting a group home isn’t just a way to serve your community—it’s also a powerful opportunity to create a stable, high-margin business. When structured properly, group homes can deliver meaningful impact and predictable income while maintaining relatively low overhead.
The Basics of Group Home Profitability
The formula is straightforward:
Monthly Revenue – Monthly Expenses = Monthly Profit
Let’s break that down using real-world group home numbers.
In the U.S., the average monthly revenue per resident ranges from $3,500 to $7,000+, depending on the population served, funding source, and level of care. Group homes typically serve 4 to 6 residents per property.
With a residential setup—often using your own or rented property—the overhead stays low, focusing mainly on staffing, licensing, meals, and care supplies.
Typical Net Profit Margins range from 30% to 50% with efficient operations and well-managed care delivery.


Estimated Monthly Profit Based on Occupancy
Residents | Monthly Revenue (avg. $5,500/resident) | Profit @ 30% Margin | Profit @ 50% Margin |
---|---|---|---|
4 | $22,000 | $6,600 | $11,000 |
5 | $27,500 | $8,250 | $13,750 |
6 | $33,000 | $9,900 | $16,500 |
Note: Revenue and margin may vary based on your location, population served, licensing model, and whether services are reimbursed through Medicaid, VA benefits, private pay, or grants.
Multiple Income Streams = Financial Stability
Group homes have the unique advantage of blending revenue sources, such as:
- Medicaid Waiver Programs (Home and Community-Based Services)
- VA Benefits and Public Grants
- Private Pay Clients (Higher-margin personalized care)
- Managed Care Organizations (MCOs)
- Local Agency Contracts & Nonprofit Aid
This diversification allows operators to mitigate risk and boost income stability, especially as your census grows or expands across multiple properties.
