The Council of State Governments has published a guide to housing options for ex-offenders. The publication entitled, “Reentry Housing Options: The Policymakers’ Guide” was written by Katherine Cortes and Shawn Rogers and released June 1, 2010.
The Council describes it’s publication this way; “The policy guide provides practical steps that lawmakers and others can take to increase public safety through better access to affordable housing for individuals released to the community. It offers an overview of several commonly accessed housing options and also examines three distinct approaches to increasing the availability of these options: improving access, increasing housing stock and revitalizing neighborhoods.”
