What would you like to know?
If your question is personal to your situation, Josh is happy to talk it through without pressure.
01What exactly is LaunchPoint Living?
LaunchPoint is independent residential housing in Orem, a two-minute walk from UVU. Four residents each rent a private bedroom and share the home. Clear community expectations and two monthly check-ins with Josh—included in rent and encouraged, but not required—add a small amount of intentional structure.
02Is LaunchPoint a treatment program or group home?
No. LaunchPoint is not treatment, sober living, a group home, transitional programming, or supervised living. There is no on-site staff or clinical monitoring. Residents are tenants first.
03Who is LaunchPoint designed for?
It may fit a young adult who wants greater independence, can live safely without on-site supervision, and would benefit from a quiet substance-free home, shared expectations, and light accountability. No diagnosis is required.
04Who may need a different kind of setting?
Someone who currently needs crisis monitoring, daily clinical supervision, detoxification, active substance-use treatment, on-site staff, or a treatment-centered setting may be better served by another option. The prospective resident must also want the home for themselves.
05How much is rent and what does it include?
$1,850 per resident per month includes a private bedroom, two shared bathrooms, parking in a two-car garage and driveway, in-home laundry, a community living agreement, and two monthly check-ins with Josh.
06What other costs should I expect?
The security deposit is $1,400. Utilities are shared among residents and coordinated by the landlord. The home is currently unfurnished; optional furnishing may be available for $100 per month. Optional coaching or clinical services are separate from rent.
07How do check-ins work?
Two individual check-ins with Josh each month are included in rent and encouraged, but not required. They usually last 30–45 minutes. Topics may include routines, household responsibilities, school or work goals, campus resources, résumés, or other practical next steps chosen by the resident.
08Are the check-ins therapy?
No. They are not therapy, treatment, case management, or clinical supervision. Therapy is not required. If someone independently chooses optional coaching or clinical care, it requires a separate agreement and separate billing.
09What are the house expectations?
The home is alcohol- and substance-free. Residents agree to quiet hours, no overnight guests, limits on larger gatherings, care for shared spaces, and agreed household and yard responsibilities. The full community living agreement is reviewed before signing a lease.
10What happens if a resident does not follow the community living agreement?
Residents sign a lease and community living agreement before moving in. Josh first addresses concerns directly. Serious or repeated violations—such as substance use, unsafe conduct, or disruptive parties—are handled as lease matters through the notice and court processes required by Utah law. Because LaunchPoint is housing rather than a program, it does not use an informal program discharge or remove a tenant without due process.
11Are pets allowed?
The home does not currently allow pets. Contact Josh directly with questions about legally protected assistance animals or accommodation requests.
12What are the bedrooms like?
Each resident has a private bedroom. The house has two shared bathrooms and more than 1,800 square feet of space. Rooms are currently unfurnished, with an optional furnishing add-on when available.
13How long are leases?
Lease terms can be flexible, although leases usually run through July. Ask Josh about the term available for your desired move-in date.
14Can a parent apply for their young adult?
A family member can make the first inquiry and join an early conversation, but the prospective resident needs to understand the home, participate in the process, and choose it for themselves.
15What happens after I reach out?
You will first talk with Josh, then tour the actual home if it seems promising. Everyone considers the fit before an application is completed. Applying does not guarantee a room; housing availability and a practical shared-home match are confirmed first.
16When are rooms available?
LaunchPoint is now leasing for Fall 2026. Availability can change, so contact Josh for the current status.
