What Brad's House does

Brad's House is a Colorado-based non-profit founded in November 2017 by Nicholas Thompson that operates trauma-informed therapeutic residential homes and advocacy services for at-risk young men aged 8 to 21 in the state foster care system. Its core offering is the Quality Residential Treatment Program (RCCF-QRTP), delivered through licensed facilities in Monument (original), Pueblo (opened 2023), and Colorado Springs (opened 2024), plus a Greeley Advocacy Center (2024) that provides counseling, family support, and a foster-placement mentoring program. All residential care is grounded in the TBRI (Trust Based Relational Intervention) Method developed by the Child Development Institute, an evidence-based framework addressing the physical, emotional, and relational needs of youth who have faced significant trauma.

The organization is funded through three streams: per-placement, government-funded residential care reimbursements for QRTP-eligible youth referred through Colorado state agencies; charitable donations from individuals and organizations; and merchandise sales (Winter 2023 crew necks at $85, hoodies at $110, and collaborative shirts at $40) through an online store on the Brad's House website. Admissions are referral-based via an online form hosted on the Ritten.io platform, with case workers and state agencies submitting client placements digitally.

Operationally, Brad's House runs on a lean technology stack — a Squarespace-hosted website, Formstack-embedded contact and intake forms, and the Ritten.io referral portal — with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities. Leadership consists of founder Nicholas Thompson and Compliance Officer Lauren Mertens, supporting a reported 11–50 employees across four facilities. Revenue and financial metrics are not publicly disclosed.
