For a 13D, I do not think so. I believe NFPA 20 does not come into play until a 13R, or 13.
The main point of the 13D is supposed to be lower costs. A group home sounds like at least an R system.. But you have the full story so will defer to your analysis. R/ Matt Matthew J. Willis, C.E.T.

They propose to install a pump and tank system. Would a back up power supply be required for this? I have never been asked about it but can’t find much that addresses it.
