ABOUT us.
Ignited Families, born from the vision of two dedicated HBCU alumni, Talaya Fraley and Ian White, embodies their profound commitment to serving their community. These passionate individuals recognized a pressing demand for high-quality residential group homes that prioritized the well-being and growth of their residents. With unwavering resolve to effect positive change, Talaya and Ian came together to establish Ignited Families.
What started as a noble initiative has now blossomed into a thriving enterprise, with Ignited Families managing multiple DD group homes across Newport News and offering an extensive range of behavioral health services that extend their positive impact to all of Virginia. Their mission remains steadfast: to ignite positive change, empower lives, and enhance the well-being of the community they hold dear.
