This page lists every active reentry program, halfway house, transitional housing facility, and community corrections center currently operating across Colorado.

What Are Reentry Centers and Why Are They Critical?
Reentry centers — known as halfway houses, residential reentry centers, or transitional housing programs — are designed to support individuals leaving incarceration as they transition back into society. They serve as a critical bridge between incarceration and community life.
Research shows the first weeks and months after release are the highest-risk period for reoffending. Reentry centers directly address this by providing housing stability, employment support, behavioral health treatment, life skills development, and community connection within a framework of accountability.
