Reentry and transitional housing in Indiana
Official IDOC housing information, help lines and supervision offices, with a city or ZIP search. Official sources only; no paid listings.
Check with the parole or probation officer first. Any address has to be approved before the move. Being on an official list doesn't mean a home has room, takes your situation, or is approved for a specific person.
Indiana parole placements are discussed with your case manager and must be investigated and approved by your parole agent before release. IDOC also lists work release centers, where some people serve the end of a sentence while working.

Clothing and emergency help
Family and Social Services Administration
We didn't find a statewide clothing voucher program for Indiana. Ask your parole officer or county social services office about emergency help with clothing and other basics; programs vary by county.
State ID and birth certificate
State ID card
Ask your case manager before release whether the prison can help you get a Indiana ID. After release, apply at the state motor vehicle agency. You'll usually need proof of identity (such as a birth certificate), your Social Security number and proof of address.
Indiana birth certificate
CDC's directory lists Indiana's vital records office, current fees and how to order. Order from the state where you were born.
