Question: I am looking for guidelines on starting a women's home and putting together a proposal for funding.

Answer: You might want to contact your state's mental health agency for guidelines and requirements for starting this kind of group home, but you can find information on grant writing on the Community Tool Box. Check out the Toolkit on grant writing at /tools/writegrantapplication/index.jsp. Or you could find additional help in Part L of the Table of Contents at /tools/en/tools_toc.htm. Good luck!
