National directory

Find reentry-friendly services by state, category, and supervision needs.

Use OACRA’s nationwide directory to locate community service, reentry jobs, housing, treatment providers, and financial help. We surface information — you and your supervising officer decide what counts.

  • Organized by state and service type for faster navigation.
  • Built for people on probation, parole, pretrial release, and reentry.
  • Educational only — not legal advice or case management.

How the OACRA directory works

  • We list information, not make placements. OACRA is hands-off — supervision agencies and courts remain the decision-makers.
  • Service-first view. Listings are grouped around what people on supervision are often required to complete: hours, classes, housing, employment, and stability.
  • Justice-tech mission. The directory supports OACRA’s patent-pending system, which aims to reduce confusion, missed conditions, and unnecessary violations by linking compliance tasks with real-world resources.
  • Neutral and educational. We do not advocate in individual cases or tell anyone what they “should” do; we help them see options to discuss with their own professionals.
  • Living index. Programs open, close, and change rules. We update listings as providers contact us or users flag changes.

OACRA is an educational resource only. We do not provide legal advice, do not guarantee acceptance into any program, and do not speak on behalf of any court, supervision agency, or department of corrections.

For service providers & partners

If you offer community service placements, reentry-friendly jobs, housing, counseling, or basic-needs support, you can request to be listed and, if appropriate, apply for a Verified Partner plan.

  • Listings can highlight whether you regularly work with justice-involved clients.
  • Verified partners may receive enhanced placement in relevant state directories.
  • Partnerships are reviewed against OACRA safety, neutrality, and compliance standards.

Submitting a program or purchasing a plan does not guarantee inclusion in the directory. All listings are subject to review and may be edited or removed if information changes.

Stay connected to OACRA. We are actively adding new states, updating directories, and improving tools like the OACRA Probation Challenge and the Cora assistant. You can learn more and subscribe for updates at oacra.com/cora.
