Reentry and transitional housing in Washington
Official WA 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.
Washington DOC runs reentry centers (formerly called work release) where people finishing a prison sentence live while they work and prepare for release. Placement is decided by DOC, not by applying directly.

Community supervision is delivered from 86 field offices, Community Justice Centers, COP shops and outstations. These are where people under supervision report.

Government programs for the first weeks out. Sources are official Washington, federal or county agencies. Call first: hours and rules change.
Food: SNAP and food pantries
SNAP (food stamps)
Apply online, by phone or at a local benefits office in Washington. You can usually start the application before or right after release. Bring an ID if you have one; an interview is required.

Clothing and emergency help
Department of Social and Health Services
We didn't find a statewide clothing voucher program for Washington. 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 Washington 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.
Washington birth certificate
CDC's directory lists Washington'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 Washington'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.
