A stable home base, on the income you already have.
One monthly occupancy fee covers a furnished room, utilities, and Wi-Fi. We accept VA disability compensation, VA pension, SSDI, Social Security retirement, and employment income—and you don't need to earn 2 to 3 times the fee.
A fixed check shouldn't mean an unstable home.
Many veterans have steady monthly income but still struggle to find housing that fits it.
Housing costs rise, the check doesn't
Apartment costs and utilities keep going up while benefits stay fixed.
Starting over costs money
Move-in costs, furniture, and utility setups come due before you're settled.
Living alone can be isolating
Some veterans want a quieter, shared home, with people around and the basics handled.
Your housing cost, in one number.
A furnished room in a shared home, with the bills and setup already handled, so your monthly income covers your housing in one predictable payment.

What a month costs, side by side.
For adults who live independently and don't need daily personal or medical care, a full-care setting can mean paying for care you don't use. Here is how Bloom compares with Texas median costs.
Texas figures are statewide medians from the CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey for Texas (released March 2026): assisted living $67,200 a year and a semi-private nursing home room $67,525 a year, divided by 12. Local prices vary by community. Bloom fees are starting rates; optional Household Support is billed separately.
With support added: a Bloom Essentials companion room ($750) plus Enhanced Household Support ($749) comes to about $1,499 a month. Household Support is help around the house, not a substitute for the care an assisted living community or nursing home provides.
An honest note: Bloom House Living is not assisted living or a nursing home, and our team doesn't provide hands-on personal care, medications, or nursing care. Residents who qualify can receive in-home services from a licensed provider they choose. If someone needs round-the-clock care, a licensed care setting is the right choice, and we're glad to help you think through options.
If we're not the fit, we'll help you find one.
We work with referral partners across East Texas. If a Bloom home isn't the right fit, or a room isn't open when you need it, we'll help you look at other placement options instead of leaving you with a no.
Families, hospital and facility discharge planners, case managers, and supervising officers can all start with one call: 903-686-1804.
Housing first. Help when you need it.
- A bus pass for your first 30 to 60 days

Good to know: Bloom House Living is shared housing where you live on your own, under a license-to-occupy agreement. It isn't an assisted living facility, nursing home, treatment program, or halfway house. We don't help with bathing, dressing, toileting, or medicine, and we don't provide nursing, 24-hour supervision, or emergency response. If you need that kind of care, you pick your own licensed provider.
Run locally, by people who know benefits.
Bloom House Living is a collection of homes run by JDE Housing Solutions, a local East Texas company founded by Jessilyn Z. Edwards. Before housing, Jessilyn worked in healthcare benefits and insurance, including Medicare, Medicaid, and benefits navigation, so she knows how fixed incomes and paperwork really work. When you call, you reach the local team that runs the homes.
Good to know.
Is this a lease?
No. Residency is under a license-to-occupy agreement with written house rules, not a lease.
What is the community fee?
A one-time community fee is due before move-in: $300 for Bloom Essentials and $650 for Bloom Signature. It covers getting your room ready and your move-in supplies.
Do I need to earn 2 to 3 times the monthly fee?
No. Many apartments ask for income of 2 to 3 times the monthly cost. We don't. Your income needs to cover your monthly occupancy fee, and we review every situation individually.
What if Bloom isn't the right fit?
We work with referral partners across East Texas. If a Bloom home isn't the right fit, or a room isn't open, we'll help you look at other placement options.
Is Household Support required?
No. Household Support is optional, not medical care, and billed separately from the occupancy fee.
Can I get help with bathing, dressing, or other daily care?
Our team doesn't provide hands-on personal care. If you qualify for in-home attendant services through Medicaid or insurance, we'll help you apply, and you choose your own licensed provider.
What's included besides the room?
Every resident gets a 30- to 60-day bus pass to get started, help applying for and renewing SNAP, Medicaid, and Medicare, and referrals to local programs.
Do you accept VA income?
Yes. VA disability compensation and VA pension are accepted, along with SSDI, Social Security retirement, and employment income.
Can you help with my VA claim?
No. Only VA-accredited representatives can help prepare VA claims. We'll point you to free accredited Veterans Service Officers, such as your county VSO.
Can my VA or SSVF case manager refer me?
Yes. They can use the Partner Referral & Triage form or call 903-686-1804.
