  • What is a halfway house?

    Halfway houses are community-based residential facilities for offenders who have been allowed to serve part of their sentence under supervision in the community.

    Halfway houses in Canada are entirely funded by tax dollars. Generally, it is more cost-effective to house offenders in halfway houses than correctional institutes.
