Do the probation officers work with people who are homeless?
Most people on probation have an approved living arrangement. In some cases this means living in a halfway house or other transitional setting. Having an approved residence is a condition of probation everywhere. Probationers are required to inform their PO if a housing situation changes. If notification does not occur this could be considered a “technical violation”. However, it is rarely enforced. In most cases the probation officer may be able to assist them in accessing housing or refer them to someone who can.
