Finding a safe and secure place to live and receiving the necessary support to maintain it within the community is crucial for successful reentry from prison. Without stable housing, individuals face significant challenges in accessing employment, substance abuse treatment, and other support services. They also struggle to establish or rebuild connections with community resources and positive social networks. Parolees and probationers who are homeless are at a much higher risk of violating community supervision conditions, and unstable housing is linked to an increased likelihood of re-arrest. The first month after release is particularly vulnerable, as the risk of becoming homeless, committing new offenses, violating release conditions, or relapsing into substance abuse is high.
