Reentry and transitional housing in Kansas
Official KDOC 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.
Kansas parole is split into a northern and southern region, with parole offices in about 20 communities. Parole services uses a community-based case management model to help people return to their communities.
