Reentry and transitional housing in Ohio
Official ODRC 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.
Ohio DRC's Bureau of Community Sanctions funds halfway houses for people on parole or post-release control, and for some people on community supervision. Referrals come through your parole officer or the Adult Parole Authority. The list below is DRC's January 2026 halfway house directory.

Clothing and emergency help
Jobs and Family Services
We didn't find a statewide clothing voucher program for Ohio. 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 Ohio 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.
Ohio birth certificate
CDC's directory lists Ohio'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 Ohio'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.
