Register your group home

List your home in the ReferralPathway directory so social workers and case managers can find and refer clients to you.

Virginia group homes are licensed by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS) and serve individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities, mental health conditions, or substance use disorders — not primarily elderly residents. If you serve older adults without a behavioral health diagnosis, see Assisted Living registration instead.
