Department of Corrections; authorize to establish Reentry Housing Program.

HB 474 authorizes Mississippi's Department of Corrections to create a Reentry Housing Program (RHP) for individuals on probation or parole who lack stable housing. The program provides short-term housing and food access through certified providers for up to six months, targeting people recently released from prison/jail or participating in accountability courts (like drug or mental health courts). Participants must be monitored by parole officers to ensure compliance with supervision terms. The goal is to stabilize reentry into the community and support crime-free living. The program becomes effective July 1, 2025.
