For parents and families

A real home for the space between capable and fully independent.

Your young adult may be smart, capable, and ready to launch—yet still benefit from a calm environment, clear expectations, and someone nearby who notices how things are going.

See If LaunchPoint Fits

The core idea

Support without taking over.

LaunchPoint is independent residential housing near UVU. Residents sign a lease, manage their own day, and live with housemates—not staff. Two check-ins with Josh each month are included in rent and encouraged, but not required.

The model is designed to create room for natural growth: enough structure to make follow-through easier, without recreating a supervised or treatment setting.

Thoughts families often carry

The goal is growth—not another layer of management.

These are common parent concerns, not testimonials.

I’m not looking for someone to manage my young adult. I’m looking for a place that gives them a real shot at doing it themselves.
I want to know there’s someone nearby who will notice if things start to go sideways.

What families can expect

Clarity, consistency, and a real landlord relationship.

  • A private bedroom in a four-resident shared home
  • A written lease and community living agreement
  • A calm, alcohol- and substance-free environment
  • Two monthly check-ins included in rent and encouraged, but not required
  • Direct communication about housing matters, consistent with resident privacy and the lease

What LaunchPoint does not provide

It is housing—not a hidden treatment program.

LaunchPoint does not offer on-site staff, medication management, curfews enforced through supervision, crisis monitoring, or clinical oversight. Therapy is not required.

If a resident chooses optional coaching or therapy, it is a separate agreement and is not included in rent.

From a parent’s perspective

A regular point of contact—with the resident.

Check-ins give Josh a regular, structured opportunity to notice how a resident is doing and raise concerns directly with the resident—not with the family, unless the resident consents to that communication.

This boundary supports adult agency and privacy while giving the resident a predictable place to talk through routines, goals, responsibilities, or whatever they are working on.

01

The resident’s decision matters

A parent can open the door. The resident has to choose to walk through it.

Family members are welcome to ask questions and participate in an initial conversation. A successful fit still depends on the prospective resident understanding the home, wanting to live there, and participating in the decision.
