Can you run a halfway house out of your house?

you can,you do not need a license, degree, certification, or permit to open a half way house. This is because alcoholism and addiction are technically classified as disabilities and any local authority that demands that communal living arrangements for people with these particular stigmas have a permit is in violation of the American's with Disabilities Act. In other words, no one can stop you from opening a half way house if that is what you want to do.
