Pierce County CPTS Reentry Resources [1]

• This wiki is a clearinghouse for useful resources in Tacoma and Pierce County for people making the transition from prison or jail to community life. Although the wiki is designed to assist formerly incarcerated individuals, their families, and others who support them, many of the resources gathered here address basic needs. We hope that others will find this compilation helpful as well. This wiki is managed by New Connections.

Associated Ministries

• Associated Ministries’ Center for Direct Services works with families and individuals throughout Pierce County to build stronger community by building stronger households. Many of our direct services focus upon housing, as the foundation for dignity, stability and growth. These services include providing Centralized Intake for Homelessness Intervention through Access Point for Housing (AP4H); assisting families and individuals with re-housing; working with faith communities to reduce barriers to housing and to create new affordable housing; and youth homelessness prevention. The Center for Direct Services strives to work with households from a strength-based approach, identifying the strengths and supports that a household already possesses, and connecting to community and more formal resources to help build toward self-sufficiency. In connecting to community, we seek to engage volunteers in ways that are meaningful for the households and volunteers.
