Colorado Reentry Housing
Colorado Housing, Shelter & Reentry-Friendly Options
This directory highlights housing and shelter resources across Colorado that may support people on probation, parole, diversion, or other community supervision. Some programs focus on emergency shelter, others on supportive housing, rental assistance, or transitional living. Rules can depend on your charges, background checks, and supervision conditions.
Supervision reminder: do not move, change your address, or stay overnight in another county or state without following your judgment and sentence and your probation or parole order. Many people on supervision, especially with sex-offense or victim-related restrictions, must get written or documented approval from their officer before moving into any new residence, shelter, or shared house.

Important: Being listed here does not guarantee that any provider will accept your application, charges, or supervision status. Housing programs have their own intake rules and background checks and may change policies at any time.
Before you move or enroll: review your judgment and sentence, probation or parole order, and any residency restrictions. Do not move into any new address, shelter, or shared house without following your supervision rules and getting approval when required. Keep copies of leases, program rules, and any letters or emails that confirm your housing arrangement.
