The Community Reentry Unit of the Minnesota Department of Corrections produced this booklet. The aim is to address the numerous requests made by caseworkers, corrections agents, community workers and transition support people for a detailed directory of housing options available to offenders reentering the community and the public at large.

This directory is not a complete listing of the varied array of housing options currently available across Minnesota. We recognize that housing resources shift and change dramatically over time. Therefore, we welcome feedback on housing information that will allow us to expand and improve the directory.

An online edition of this directory is available at www.doc.state.mn.us under the Publications link. This online directory will be updated as new housing information becomes available.
