In 1968, there were approximately 700. In 1999 that number had grown 240%. Who knows how many now? The Federal Government under the Social Security act, and they are very evasive about answering the question. These group homes are paid for out of Social Security Tax monies.

Which are the main requirements to be considered to start a house of children. how do you implement them?

There are different types of homes for children and for disabled adults. Normally group homes for children are agencies of the government which places these types of children, mostly delinquent children, in these types of homes and for a specific amount of time. The only other type of homes for children are foster homes, which can be started by any single or couple who are willing to become foster parents. Every state has its own rules by which this is done, so you will have to check with that state. Generally there has to be enough facility to hold a group of foster children, and the potential foster parents must undergo a background check and application process.

Can you go to an orphanage instead of foster care?

In the US, orphanage is an obsolete term, and instead children in the care of the state are cared for in either foster homes or group homes; in both cases, you are in foster care.
