Reentry Resource Guide Act of 2026

This bill would require the U.S. Attorney General, within 1 year, to set up a pilot program giving grants to states to create, expand, and maintain online guides listing statewide resources for people returning to their communities after incarceration. The guides would list names and contact information, be sortable by region, and be downloadable, covering services such as jobs, housing, food, shelters, legal help, health care, addiction treatment, and identification assistance. Grants would last 3 years, and states would report yearly on how they used the money. The bill authorizes $8 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2030, and the Attorney General would report to Congress on the program's results, including effects on repeat offending.
