The need for these critical services have increased, and so have the costs to provide them. <br />Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have offered services safely and remotely, adapting <br />alongside our partners in the judicial system and securing technology for any clients who didn't <br />have those necessary resources. Last year, more than 4,000 people received legal advocacy, <br />advice or representation through Tubman. <br />Additionally, Tubman offers a broad continuum of services, including emergency family violence <br />shelter for people of all genders; transitional housing; mental and chemical health counseling; <br />youth mentorship and leadership development; in -school violence prevention curriculum; <br />support groups; a clothing closet; and more. More than 20,000 people each year access Tubman <br />services to develop safety plans, meet their goals, and keep going forward through violence and <br />trauma. <br />We invite you to meet with us to explore ways we can work together to preserve these services, <br />and respectfully ask you to consider providing funding in your city's budget to ensure that our <br />law enforcement and criminal justice partners can continue to rely on Tubman to help ensure <br />victims' safety needs are met and help prevent future violence. <br />If you have any questions, please feel free to contact either of us. Jennifer Dickinson can be <br />reached at or 651.789.6720, and Jen Polzin can be reached at <br />6polzin@tubman.org or 612.767.6697. <br />Thank you for your longstanding partnership, and your commitment to making Mounds View a <br />safe and healthy community in which to live, work, and play. <br />With gratitude, <br />Jennifer Dickinson <br />Director of Legal Services <br />
