The home is funded through Ohio Individual Options Waiver or IO and is a licensed facility through the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities. All employees of the group home must comply with the basic standards developed and enforced by the licensing body. The group home has been in operation since 1985.

“Halom House is a ‘Dream Place’ that opened in 1985. It is an opportunity, giving my sister and others the chance to have a sense of independence from their families. Yet, such an amazing gift, one of support, camaraderie and strength. The power to share. The chance to shine. I feel very fortunate that my sister has been able to live and thrive here. Thank you to all of the loving and devoted staff that have cared for her over the years!”
