Reentry and transitional housing in Michigan
Official MDOC 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.
MDOC's Field Operations Administration supervises people on parole and probation from offices in every county. The office directory is on the MDOC site.

Help finding housing
Basic needs after release
Government programs for the first weeks out. Sources are official Michigan, federal or county agencies. Call first: hours and rules change.
Food: SNAP and food pantries
SNAP (food stamps)
Apply online, by phone or at a local benefits office in Michigan. You can usually start the application before or right after release. Bring an ID if you have one; an interview is required.

State ID and birth certificate
State ID card
Ask your case manager before release whether the prison can help you get a Michigan 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.
Michigan birth certificate
CDC's directory lists Michigan'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 Michigan'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.
