The Paid Transitional Housing pilot was a reentry housing intervention that fully covered rent at transitional housing facilities for a period of 3 months, targeting male adults who were entering re-entry centers 8 weeks from their release date and at higher recidivism risk. The program aimed to improve housing stability, employment, and recidivism outcomes. All participants received existing transitional housing services at re-entry centers focused on job readiness. Other voluntary services offered included classes on mental health, parenting, and financial management.
