New Connections

Join us in supporting New Connections, a transformative reentry program dedicated to empowering women as they navigate the journey from incarceration to community. Through resource advocacy, safe living, and community support, New Connections equips women with the tools and resources they need to rebuild their lives with dignity and purpose. 

For more than two decades, New Connections has helped women get a fresh start, and worked toward a society where incarceration is rare, brief, and non-recurring.

Our mission is to interrupt the poverty-to-prison pipeline and promote community reintegration after incarceration.

To do this, we offer:

Women’s Shelters - Irma's Place & Annie's Cottage

Supportive recovery shelters for women experiencing homelessness who have recently been released from correctional facilities in Washington State, including a cottage for those with custody of children. 

Resource Navigation 

We offer advocacy and help accessing community resources for the women in our program through peer support and navigation.

Advocacy & Community Outreach

Partnering with others to increase community safety, reduce recidivism, and eliminate barriers to success for formerly incarcerated individuals and their families.

Your contribution will make a direct and meaningful impact, providing crucial support to women striving to overcome the barriers they face upon release. Every dollar helps us provide household supplies, welcome baskets, bedding and hygiene supplies to give women a fresh start. Together, we can create a brighter future for women and their communities. Donate today and be a part of this life-changing initiative.
