WHAT INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE HOME LETTER?
a responsible person who is offering the inmate the opportunity to reside at their house or apartment must provide an up-to-date home letter. The home letter needs to include the following information: • The person’s name • The street address, including city and zip code • The current home phone number • The names of any other individuals living in the household, including children • Whether or not the home is owned or rented There are some types of housing developments that do not allow anyone with a criminal record or certain types of charges to reside in their units. These restrictions usually apply to HUD developments and Section 8 housing. If the inmate submits a home plan seeking to live in one of these areas, the home plan may be rejected.
