Problem
Individuals returning from incarceration and those under community supervision often struggle to find reliable, up-to-date information about reentry services such as housing, employment, treatment, and financial assistance. This information is fragmented across local agencies, state programs, and provider websites, making it difficult for individuals and referral professionals to identify available resources quickly. Additionally, organizations lack structured, verifiable data on justice-service vendors and government contracts, complicating market research and procurement decisions.
Solution
OACRA provides a national, state-specific service discovery platform that organizes public reentry resources into searchable directories across five service areas: housing, employment, treatment, community service, and financial help. The platform covers all 50 states and Washington, DC, with 255 directories that can be searched by state and service need)Skip to content. Beyond the directory, OACRA operates a public evidence register of justice-services and technology vendors, containing 391 source-backed records across 138 organizations and 13 service categories. The platform also offers structured data licensing, API access, and sponsored placement options for organizations that need recurring, automated, or embedded use of its taxonomy and directories.

Primary users are individuals under community supervision or returning from incarceration, as well as referral professionals such as probation and parole officers, case managers, and reentry coordinators.
