You may complete a referral for yourself or someone else, but is preferred that a referral come from a parole officer for any person on parole or currently incarcerated. For some services, CJM will require a referral from the parole officer before services are provided.  

​

• FIRST Services 

• Other/Not Sure 

​

Select Release to Rent if:

• the person being referred meets one of these criteria: 

  • male, currently incarcerated over 10 years, will be released on parole​

  • a veteran who has been incarcerated 

  • a female who has been incarcerated and is on parole 

  • a formerly incarcerated person on parole who is employed but unhoused

​

Select FIRST Services if: 

• the referral is for immediate assistance for a person recently released from incarceration, or residing in a transition center in St. Louis 

• is for rental assistance for a formerly incarcerated person 

• is to participate in bus trips to visit a family member at Vandalia or Chillicothe Womens Correctional facilities. 

​
