Reentry and transitional housing in Nebraska
Official NDCS 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.
Nebraska's two Community Corrections Centers (Lincoln and Omaha) are state facilities for people still in NDCS custody, often on work release, before parole. They are not open-admission housing.
The Nebraska Board of Parole lists the Omaha PREP House among its office locations.
