About Fallen Valor
Everyone deserves a real shot at rebuilding. Fallen Valor makes free, practical tools that help people with sex, violent, and other felony convictions find lawful housing and second chance job leads and resources, so they can get back on their feet and stay there.
Why we built this
After release, two questions come up right away: Where can I legally live? and Who will hire me? The answers are scattered across statutes, county parcel maps, school databases, and the public registry. Stable housing and steady work are among the strongest protections against returning to prison. We pull public information into one place so the first steps are a little easier.
What we offer
Residency Check
Screen any proposed US address (all 50 states and DC) against mapped schools, child care, and parks. The state is detected from the address and its residency rule is applied automatically; states with no statewide distance rule say so. For Oklahoma that’s 2,000 ft property line to property line under 57 O.S. §590. In 22 covered Oklahoma counties it measures edge to edge from tax parcels. Everywhere else it uses the address point with a 10% safety ring that flags close calls for review.
Jobs: second chance job leads (Oklahoma)
A map of workplaces listed in public registry workplace fields on Oklahoma’s Sex and Violent Offender Registry, sorted by distance from your address (5 to 50 miles). Each one is a lead, not a verified second chance employer. A listing doesn’t mean the business hires people on the registry, is hiring now, or is a Fallen Valor partner.
Apartments (Oklahoma)
A map of Oklahoma apartment communities and rental buildings from OHFA, HUD, and OpenStreetMap whose map point sits more than 2,000 ft from every mapped school, licensed child care site, and park, within 5 to 50 miles of your address. It’s a starting list of buildings, not a vacancy board.
Who it’s for
- People rebuilding after sex, violent, and other felony convictions, whether you’re on probation, on parole, registered, or done with supervision.
- Families, friends, and mentors helping someone plan housing and work.
- Probation and parole officers, registration units, sheriffs’ offices, police departments, and reentry programs who want a free resource to share. You’re welcome to link to or print these tools for the people you supervise or serve.
Where the data comes from
Only public, free sources: NCES school locations in every state, Oklahoma DHS licensed child-care providers (OpenStreetMap child care in other states), OpenStreetMap parks, Oklahoma county assessor tax parcels, the Oklahoma DOC registry (sors.doc.ok.gov) for self-reported employers, and the US Census Bureau Geocoder plus OpenStreetMap for addresses. When a rural house number is missing from both, we fall back to Esri’s World Geocoder (free tier, lookups not stored). See the FAQ for details and limits.
Read this before you rely on any result
- Not legal advice. The Residency Check is a screening aid. A “likely green” result is never permission to rent, buy, or move. Confirm every address with an attorney and your supervising officer or registering agency.
- Not a job guarantee. Jobs map listings come from public registry workplace fields. They are leads, not openings, and not verified second chance employers. Each employer makes its own hiring decisions.
- No harassment. These tools exist to help people rebuild. Never use them to locate, contact, report, or harass anyone, including people who work at a listed employer.
- Data can be wrong. Maps, parcels, and registry listings can be incomplete, misspelled, or out of date. Local ordinances, court orders, and supervision conditions are often not mapped.
