State parole agencies play a key role in reintegrating persons into society after their release from prison. Parole agencies can provide insight on the extent that persons use reentry services in their state while under community supervision. This includes whether persons under the agency’s jurisdiction are enrolled in drug, sex offender, mental health, or other treatment programs and whether the agency had programs to help persons obtain housing or employment.

The SSPARS is a 33-month project with the goal of generating national- and state-level statistics on the types of treatment programs, housing and employment assistance, and other reentry services received by adults on parole supervision.
Objectives
The primary objectives of the SSPARS are to (1) convene an expert panel and conduct stakeholder engagement, (2) develop the survey instrument, (3) administer the survey, 4) clean the data, and (5) deliver the data files and documentation.
