This directory lists housing and shelter resources across Arizona that may support people on probation, parole, pretrial release,
or other community supervision. Acceptance depends on program rules, capacity, ID requirements, and criminal-history policies.
Always verify with your officer before moving or entering any program if you have residency restrictions,
travel limits, exclusion zones, or no-contact conditions.
Get listed on OACRA to help justice-involved individuals find legitimate housing and shelter options faster.
OACRA organizes listings by access type and intake pathway so users can identify the appropriate route and confirm current requirements.
Nonprofits, housing programs, recovery residences, shelters, community partners, and sponsors can help strengthen county coverage
and improve service discovery across Arizona.
Counties: Maricopa. Use 211 Arizona first if you need the fastest routing to open beds, coordinated entry,
or rent and utility assistance. If you are on supervision, confirm address approval requirements and keep copies of intake paperwork.
