Preventing Homelessness among Reentering Prisoners in Iowa, a Web resource by the National Alliance to End Homelessness

This Web resource provides a wide range of resources on homelessness prevention for prisoners that include publications, best practices and programs, and policy and legislation briefs. One of the featured programs is entitled Polk County Decategorization that works in conjunction with the Iowa Department of Corrections and administers the youthful offender portion of the Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Grant. The program provides a supportive and cohesive transition for juveniles aging out of the juvenile system and returning to the community.
