recovery or sober living environments, and longer-term public, private, or independent stabilization pathways across Nevada.
Get listed on OACRA to help justice-involved individuals find legitimate housing, emergency shelter, transitional housing,
sober living, recovery housing, supportive housing, rapid rehousing, public housing navigation, and stabilization options faster.

Full address, county/state, provider or landlord contact, transportation plan, reporting schedule, treatment/work access, and written program rules

Motel or Hotel-Based Temporary Housing
Some rural, border-county, resort-area, or emergency pathways use motel vouchers, short hotel stays, church-supported lodging, employer-linked lodging, seasonal rooms, or temporary rooms when shelters are full or unavailable. This may prevent immediate homelessness, but it is usually temporary and may not satisfy all supervision residence requirements without approval.
Temporary LodgingMotel VoucherTemporary only
Confirm
Length of stay, who pays, whether extensions are possible, whether guests are allowed, and whether the motel address can be used for supervision contact.
Ask for written voucher, receipt, or payment confirmation.
Plan
Next housing step, transportation, phone access, check-in/check-out dates, case manager contact, heat/winter plan, and backup shelter plan
Do not assume motel approval without supervision review

When Housing Is Denied Because of Background or Conditions
Some housing programs or landlords may deny applicants based on criminal history, registry status, pending charges, arson history, violent offenses, drug activity, credit, eviction history, income, household composition, tribal eligibility, or program rules. A denial does not end the housing search; it should be documented and followed by the next referral.
Denial PlanningCriminal HistoryDocument next steps
Ask
What specific rule caused the denial? Is there an appeal? Is there another property or program? Can the provider suggest alternatives?
Ask for a written denial or note when possible.
Track
Provider called, reason denied, date, staff name, alternative referral, documents needed, and next appointment

Transportation, Desert Heat and Winter Roads Can Make or Break the Housing Plan
A rural Nevada housing address may look stable on paper but fail if the person cannot reach reporting, treatment, employment, court, medical appointments, grocery access, or required services. Long distances, limited transit, desert heat, mountain snow, fuel costs, phone access, and ride availability should be treated as part of the housing plan.
TransportationHeat / Winter RoadsVerify before move-in
Confirm
Nearest bus route, ride options, work commute, treatment commute, reporting distance, phone access, fuel cost, heat exposure, winter-road exposure, and backup transportation.
Ask if the location is realistic for all required conditions.
Prepare
Weekly travel schedule, ride contacts, maps, gas or fare plan, appointment times, reporting schedule, emergency backup contact, and weather/heat plan
Update the plan if employment, treatment, or reporting location changes

Minimum Reentry Housing Checklist
Before listing a residence as a reentry plan, collect enough information for the person, officer, case manager, facility staff, tribal contact, or court contact to evaluate the option. This reduces failed placements, missed reporting, unsafe housing, transportation problems, and unnecessary violations.
ChecklistReentry PlanningDocumentation
Confirm
Full address, provider/landlord name, phone, email, cost, move-in date, program rules, household members, transportation, and length of stay.
Ask whether a written acceptance letter is available.
Include
ID, income proof, release papers if applicable, prescriptions, treatment schedule, employment plan, emergency contact, transportation plan, heat/winter plan, and reporting plan

OACRA directory noteNevada housing coverage
Use this directory as a starting point, not a guarantee of placement.
Housing availability, intake rules, eligibility, funding, shelter hours, program policies, waitlists, and background-screening standards can change quickly.
People under probation, parole, community supervision, pretrial supervision, treatment court, or other court conditions should confirm residence approval before moving,
paying deposits, signing leases, entering a recovery residence, using employer-linked housing, or using a program address for reporting purposes.
OACRA is an independent directory and resource platform. It is not a government agency, does not provide legal advice,
and does not guarantee that a provider will accept a specific person.
