Reentry and transitional housing in South Dakota
Official SD DOC 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.
South Dakota parole agents monitor people on parole and help them find necessary community services where available.
