Reentry and transitional housing in Virginia
Official VADOC 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.
VADOC's district resource directories list Community Residential Programs (CRP) for inmates, probationers and parolees who meet eligibility rules (ask your probation officer or counselor), Oxford House recovery homes, and accredited recovery residences through the Virginia Association of Recovery Residences (VARR).
