Dear Mr. Campbell:

The City of Tacoma requires that programs receiving City funds notify their Neighborhood Council of their program and contract information as stated in the paragraph below:

CONTRACTORS with facilities in the City of Tacoma will notify the Neighborhood Council (s) corresponding to CONTRACTOR's physical location with the name(s), phone number (s) and electronic mail address(es) for the point(s)-of-contact for any inquiry regarding programs funded under this contract. CONTRACTORS providing services outside of the City of Tacoma will notify the community group corresponding to CONTRACTOR's physical location with the names (s), phone number (s) and electronic mail address (es) for the point (s)-of-contact for any inquiry regarding programs funded under this contract. All CONTRACTORS will provide copies of the correspondence with Neighborhood Council (s) and community groups to the City of Tacoma Human Services Contract Specialist, provided, however, CONTRACTOR shall not provide copy where correspondence involves identity of confidential services such as domestic violence.

New Connections is a non-profit, multi-faith organization which offers housing and services to female ex-offenders recently released from prison. New Connections operates the Irma Gary House to provide transitional housing to women from 3-6 months. The Irma Gary House is a clean and sober house which offers hope and healing to women as they rebuild their lives. It is the goal of New Connections to help women learn of community services that are available to them during their transition period. New Connections seeks to increase the chance of resident's successful return to society and reduce the likelihood that they will re-offend.

New Connections also provides rental assistance to ex-offenders upon recommendation from a Community Correction Officer.

You are welcome to contact me about the Irma Gary House program anytime. My contact information is listed below. The Irma Gary House is staffed 24 hours/7 days a week. The Case Manager's name is Tatyana Yerokhina, and she may be contacted from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m Monday through Friday. We welcome you to come and tour the facility.

Sincerely,
Regina McKinney
