The National Reentry Resource Center

The Reentry Services Directory was developed by the National Reentry Resource Center (NRRC) to help individuals who have been incarcerated, and their families, find local reentry services. The NRRC has compiled a list of organizations and service providers who can address different reentry needs, including housing, employment, and family reunification. This is a state-to-state resource guide where viewers can self-select the resources that will best fit their geographical residence and specific situational needs.
