Reentry and transitional housing in New Jersey
Official NJ State Parole Board 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.
The NJ State Parole Board lists residential programs for parolees. NJDOC's Residential Community Reintegration Programs (RCRPs) house people in the last 30 months of a sentence who are approved through the prison's classification department; people with sexual or arson offense convictions aren't eligible.
