Reentry and transitional housing in North Carolina
Official NC DAC 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.
DAC Transitional Housing is for adults 18+ who are homeless, have unstable housing or no home plan, will be under supervision for at least 90 days, and can look for work. Participation is voluntary. Your case manager or probation/parole officer submits the request (form DCS-140) to DAC Rehabilitation and Reentry.
