ReentryRooms

Fresno housing for people on the registry

A room. A lease. A landlord who said yes.

If you have a sex offense conviction and need a place to live in the Fresno area, tell us once. We match you with landlords and housing providers who already told us they rent to people on the registry. One of them reaches you by call, text or email within one business day. You read their terms, you visit, you decide.

Find a room Free for renters. Always.

Sample poster. Not a real address.

No surprises at the door.
The terms come first.

The worst part of the search is paying an application fee and then hearing “we don’t take that.” So every landlord we work with writes down their terms before we send you anywhere. You see them before you call.

What we are not. ReentryRooms is a referral service. We are not a landlord, a law firm, a treatment program or a government agency. We do not own, rate or certify any property.

What every landlord tells us up front. Each sets their own.
TermWhy it matters to you
Who they acceptThe offense types or tiers they take, stated plainly, so you are not turned away after you apply.
Rent and depositThe full amount and when it is due. No surprise fees.
VouchersWhether they take a housing voucher, and what paperwork they need.
House rulesCurfew, guests, chores in a shared house. Check them against your supervision check-ins.
LeaseWeekly, monthly or a fixed term, and whether it is written.
Room or unitA room in a shared house, a room of your own, an apartment or a whole house.

From the form to the front door

  1. You fill in a short form.

    Budget, when you need to move, what kind of place, and any address rules you were given. About two minutes. No case details.

  2. We check our landlords.

    Only landlords in the Fresno area who told us they accept people on the registry. We pass their written terms on to you.

  3. A landlord gets in touch.

    By call, text or email within one business day, the way you asked. Nobody contacts you who was not matched, and only after you agreed.

  4. You visit and decide.

    See the place. Read the terms. Check the address with your supervising officer. Pay nothing before you have seen it.

What a match looks like

Four sample listings, drawn as posters. The names, rents and terms are made up to show the kind of terms a landlord states up front. These are not real listings or addresses.

Find a room in Fresno

One short form. Only what a landlord needs to know. Do not put case details or your full record here. We never post what you type, and we share it only with matched landlords, after you agree below.

Free for renters.

Free for renters. We never ask for your full record and never post your information publicly.

Read this before you sign anything

Where you can live

Residency rules differ by state and by city, and California has its own. Some places limit how close you may live to schools, parks or daycares, and your supervision may add its own limits. We do not tell you whether an address is allowed and we cannot promise one is. Confirm every address with your supervising officer before you sign.

Money

Never pay a deposit, rent or fee before you have seen the place and met the landlord. A real landlord shows you the room, the terms and a written receipt. If someone asks for money by app, gift card or wire to hold a place, it is a scam. ReentryRooms will never ask you for money.

Questions

What does it cost?

Nothing for you. Landlords and housing providers pay us. You never pay us, and we never take a deposit or an application fee.

Who sees what I type?

ReentryRooms, and only the landlords we match you with, and only after you tick the consent box. We never post your name or phone number. We do not ask for case details or your full record, so please do not type them.

Will the landlords really take me?

We only send you to landlords who told us they accept people on the registry. Each one sets its own terms, including which offense types or tiers it takes, and we tell you those terms up front. We cannot promise approval or a place by a date.

What about residency restrictions?

They vary by state and city, and your supervision may add more. We do not give legal advice and we do not say any address complies. Check each address with your supervising officer before you sign.

How do I avoid a scam?

See the place first. Meet the landlord. Read the terms in writing. Pay nothing until you have done all three, and get a receipt when you do pay. If someone wants a deposit by app or gift card before you visit, say no.

Can I use a housing voucher?

Say yes on the form. Some landlords take vouchers and some do not, and we tell you which before you call.

Can a family member or case manager fill this out for me?

Yes, with your permission. Put your own first name and the best phone number to reach you.

How fast will I hear back?

Within one business day. If no landlord fits right now, we tell you instead of leaving you waiting.
