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.
Illinois Financial Help
This Illinois directory focuses on financial and basic-needs support: public benefits offices, rental and utility assistance, community action agencies, and food programs. Use it to find the right agencies to contact about help. OACRA does not guarantee approval or handle applications and is not a law firm.
Illinois Treatment Providers
Many supervision plans in Illinois require treatment or classes. This directory lists substance-use providers, mental health clinics, and programs such as anger management that commonly see justice-involved clients. Program fit, insurance, and whether a class will satisfy your condition must be confirmed with your officer or attorney.
Illinois Housing and Shelter
This Illinois housing directory brings together emergency shelters, transitional housing, and reentry-minded programs. It’s meant to give you a starting point when talking with your officer about approved places to live. Always check curfew rules, fees, and supervision restrictions before moving or changing your address.
Illinois Employment & Job Training
Looking for work while on supervision in Illinois? This directory highlights workforce centers, reentry programs, and employers that may consider justice-involved applicants. Hiring decisions depend on your charges, background checks, and company policy, so always read each posting carefully and follow any job restrictions in your order.
Illinois Community Service
This Illinois directory outlines potential sites for court-ordered and probation-approved community service, including nonprofits and community programs. Treat it as a research tool only. Every placement must be cleared with your supervising officer, attorney, or court before you start.
