What it does
The Community-Based Residential Facilities (CBRF) Program contributes to Community Supervision by providing accommodation to offenders in CBRFs operated by non-governmental agencies under contract with CSC. CBRFs promote the successful reintegration of offenders in the community by providing accommodations in various types of CBRF options, such as Community Residential Facilities (structured facilities commonly known as “halfway houses”), Treatment Centers, Hostels, Private Home Placements, and Supervised/Satellite Apartments.
Key activities include providing accommodation, interventions, support, and monitoring for those offenders under community supervision who are required to reside in community-based residential facilities on release.
