Reentry Services staff have worked diligently to recruit new Transitional Housing for Offender Reentry ( THOR ) housing providers . As of Fiscal Year 22 , we have 84 active THOR providers which is an increase of 11 new providers for the year . THOR housing is an amazing opportunity for individuals who are currently incarcerated and denied addresses to release to individuals who are currently under supervision and find themselves homeless . There are two types of housing under THOR : Structured Housing and Recovery Residence . The goal of the Structured Housing is to provide a healthy , safe , and controlled environment that is consistent with safely transitioning returning citizens into the community . Structured Housing is approved for individuals who are still incarcerated who meet prison-release eligibility requirements but who do not have an available residence- as well as DCS supervisees who become displaced .
DCS Reentry Services bolstered resources to housing providers this year by creating a “ Frequently Asked Questions ” manual to better educate and recruit housing providers . This manual discusses the benefits of being a housing provider as well as tax credits and pertinent liability protections .
