INTRO
If your loved one is approaching release from an Arkansas state prison, the state makes it unusually straightforward to find available housing - Arkansas publishes two separate public lists of approved reentry facilities directly on the Department of Corrections website.
The first is a list of licensed Reentry Facilities - facilities under contract with the Arkansas Division of Community Correction (ACC) that receive state reimbursement for housing and programming. These are the closest equivalent to state-contracted halfway houses: inmates are transferred from ADC custody to ACC for reentry programming, and the state covers limited costs. The second is a list of Transitional Housing Facilities - facilities approved by ACC to accept people on community supervision but not under state contract, where residents pay their own costs.
Both lists are available at doc.arkansas.gov with facility names, addresses, bed counts, and gender served. Questions about placement go to reentry@doc.arkansas.gov or (501) 682-4359.
For federal inmates, Arkansas is covered by BOP Residential Reentry Management Dallas. The City of Faith in Little Rock serves as a federal halfway house for the Eastern District of Arkansas, housing federal parolees and post-release supervision offenders.
THE TWO-LIST SYSTEM
Understanding which list is relevant depends on your loved one's situation:
Licensed Reentry Facilities (ACC-contracted): For state inmates transferred from ADC to ACC for reentry programming. ACC covers limited housing costs. Placement is arranged by ADC/ACC - not a direct family application. These facilities are licensed and inspected under Arkansas Administrative Code 159.00.15-004.
Transitional Housing Facilities (approved, not contracted): For people on community supervision who need housing. ACC approves these facilities to accept supervised individuals, but does not pay for their placement. Some accept direct referrals from parole officers; others accept self-referrals. Residents typically pay their own costs.
Both lists include facility name, intake information (gender served, bed count), and address. Both are maintained by ACC and updated as facilities are added or removed.
THE CITY OF FAITH - FEDERAL HALFWAY HOUSE
City of Faith in Little Rock is the primary federal Residential Reentry Center serving the Eastern District of Arkansas. It houses federal parolees and post-release supervision offenders while they rebuild community ties and prepare for full release. Federal placement is arranged by the BOP case manager - families do not apply directly. For information: cityoffaith.org.
SEX OFFENDER RESTRICTIONS IN ARKANSAS
Arkansas law prohibits registered sex offenders from residing within 2,000 feet of a school, daycare, park, or bus stop. Most ACC-licensed reentry facilities and transitional housing providers do not accept sex offenders. Pulaski County (Little Rock) has additional local restrictions. Families of registrants should contact ACC and the parole officer well before release.
