Yes, that would be considered a halfway house.

 

A halfway house typically serves as a group residence for people reentering the community from incarceration, sometimes as a condition of parole or post-prison supervised release. Local, state, and federal agencies run them, as do private subcontractors who get government funding and nonprofits that rely on contributions. While generally referred to as halfway houses, they might be formally called something like “transitional centers” or “residential reentry centers."
