AN ACT CONCERNING HALFWAY HOUSES.

HB 6379 prohibits halfway houses from charging rent or fees to individuals who have recently been released from incarceration. This law directly affects formerly incarcerated people living in halfway houses as they transition back into the community. The bill amends state law to require halfway houses to cover all costs, enabling residents to save money for essential reentry needs like housing and transportation. The stated purpose is to support successful reintegration by removing a financial barrier during a critical period of reentry.
