One of my pastor uncles in Tampa runs one of the largest live-in programs in Florida. Its been a tremendous boon to the church with attendance going from 50ish to about 260ish over the last few years.
I was there in the beginning for 18 months when we got the first 2 homes for men and women and later when they got a big facility that used to be a nursing home type thing with multiple housing units.
private message me and i'll give you his info. he can save you tons of learning curve since they have a lot of things already systemized like how to do drug tests, rules, finances (the people pay $500-600 a month in rent from the job they must work).
They have 80ish folks in the program typically, plus they now have a "age out" program for the foster system for when kids turn 17 and 18.
