Arizona has a growing reentry network focused on housing stabilization, workforce readiness, and justice-system navigation. The Arizona Department of Corrections Reentry Office supports pre-release planning, IDs, and referrals, while county-level reentry coalitions and nonprofit hubs help returning residents secure housing, treatment, and employment support. Transitional housing options exist through local shelters, reentry-focused recovery programs, and supportive housing providers. Job help is available through ARIZONA@WORK centers, apprenticeships, and employer partnerships aimed at second-chance hiring. For record-clearing, Arizona offers expungement for qualifying marijuana charges plus petitions for set-aside and rights restoration. Phoenix, Tucson, and Maricopa County have active reentry collaboratives that connect residents to legal help, workforce pipelines, and stability services.
