BELGRAVIA CENTER

Belgravia Center Probation Service Center (PSC) is funded in contract by Fresno County AB 109 Probation – Realignment Division. AB 109 Probation screens and assesses eligible participants who reside in the Fresno County area for placement in the reentry/ transitional housing program. All participants found eligible must be on active probation supervision. The objective and goals for participants placed in the reentry housing program is for them to be become aware of their responsibility to society while residing in a structured program environment. Each participant admitted to the reentry housing program receives intake assessment that guides the Caseworker to focus on the criminogenic needs. It is the mission of Belgravia Center to provide all training and support services to each participant to enable and encourage a successful transition back into the community. Within this same contract and agreement the Belgravia Center provides reentry/housing program services for Fresno County Pretrial Services.
