Summary

The Returning Home Act amends the 1968 Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act to replace the term “offender” with “individual” and to broaden coverage to include juvenile facilities and halfway houses. It establishes a Reentry Rental Assistance and Housing Services Grant Program, administered by the Attorney General with HUD, that can provide up to 24 months of rental aid and related housing support to people who have been incarcerated. The goal is to help these individuals secure stable housing as they re‑enter their communities.
