David Lewis Reentry Program / Service Connect

The David Lewis Reentry Program/Service Connect is a program that assist residents returning home from prison or jail with their reintegration back into the community. Staff will do an assessment to determine the needs and skills of the person and then making referrals to other services as needed. We do some "in house" things such as classes in personal development, cognitive restructuring and healthy lifestyles. Also resume development, job search assistance, we have support groups and occasionally have social activities. If you are classified under ab109, 1170h or unified reentry by your probation officer, you may be eligible for other services as well.
