halfway house

A halfway house is a transitional living facility for individuals re-entering society after incarceration, addiction treatment, or homelessness. It provides a supervised, structured environment where residents can develop life skills, maintain sobriety, and gradually adjust to independent living. Staff often offer support through counseling, job placement assistance, and other services to promote stable, successful reintegration. The goal is to bridge the gap between institutional care and full independence, reducing the likelihood of reoffending or relapse. Halfway houses serve as a supportive step toward rebuilding personal responsibility and community integration.
