Our housing solution for prison reentry saves AR $3M per year.

The Arkansas Division of Corrections faced significant challenges in managing transitional housing for inmates reentering society, with occupancy rates stuck at 50%. The process of applying, receiving responses, and confirming placement in transitional housing often took more than two weeks, slowing down the rehabilitation process. Managing a high volume of applications manually made it difficult for housing providers to track available beds and maintain consistent occupancy, leading to inefficiencies and delays in securing housing for those in need.

After implementing Housing Match, transitional housing providers saw occupancy rates jump from 50% to 95%, significantly increasing efficiency. The average wait time for inmates to secure housing decreased from over two weeks to just 3-5 days, allowing them to begin their reentry journey much faster. With Housing Match, administrators can track applications, bed availability, and occupancy levels in real time, ensuring a more transparent and reliable system. As a result, the Arkansas Division of Corrections has saved approximately $3.3 million annually, while serving 90% more individuals through the program.
