Sarika,

1. The philosophy and goal of the department is that people do not discharge without a residence; however, in the infrequent event that a residence cannot be obtained prior to discharge, staff will give a resident a copy of local area resources from the ND Coalition for Homeless People website. https://www.ndhomelesscoalition.org/resources/

2. The records you requested cannot be provided because no such records exist.

3. Attached (NDDOCR 2017 Admissions)

4. Attached (NDDOCR 2017 Releases)

5. The records you requested cannot be provided because no such records exist.

Thank you,

Michelle Linster
