The home he is going to be living in will have to be visited and approved by the agency overseeing his probation. The home cannot have anything visible, or with a cursory search, items that might be in contravention with his release. This could include firearms, alcohol, drugs or pornography - or proximity to a school. Our advice is to speak with someone at their offices and get the rules and regulations for offender's re-entry so that you're not surprised by anything.
