Reentry and transitional housing in Louisiana
Official DPS&C 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.
Louisiana's Division of Probation and Parole has 21 district offices. The department also lists transitional work programs, where people near the end of a state sentence live and work before release; placement is decided by the department.

Clothing and emergency help
Department of Children and Family Services
We didn't find a statewide clothing voucher program for Louisiana. 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 Louisiana 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.
Louisiana birth certificate
CDC's directory lists Louisiana's vital records office, current fees and how to order. Order from the state where you were born.

Health coverage (Medicaid)
Medicaid
Apply any time through HealthCare.gov or Louisiana's Medicaid agency. If you qualify, HealthCare.gov sends your information to the state. You also get a 60-day window after release to sign up for a Marketplace plan.
Free or low-cost phone (Lifeline)
Lifeline (federal phone/internet discount)
Lifeline lowers the monthly cost of phone or internet service if you're on SNAP or Medicaid or have a low income. Apply through USAC's National Verifier.
