Reentry and transitional housing in Vermont
Official Vermont 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.
Vermont DOC has 12 community-based probation and parole field offices around the state.
