A Message from Our CEO
https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221/S.gif" />
Dear Friends,
 
Several weeks into the arrival of the pandemic in Connecticut, I want to take a moment to reflect on what we have accomplished together in such a short period of time. If you have been following national news, you may have read about COVID-19 outbreaks and a rising number of COVID-related fatalities in homeless shelters across the country. So far, it appears that the steps we have taken in Connecticut have prevented this tragedy, and we remain hopeful that our coalition's hard work has enabled us to prevent outbreaks among our homeless population and in turn, our state’s population as a whole.
 
And while I, for one, am resting somewhat easier now that shelter residents have a safe place to socially distance, we still have challenges ahead. While the number of known COVID-19 cases among our homeless population remain small, we must ensure that we can provide access to care for these individuals. In addition, while COVID-19 testing still remains limited, we still do not know how many asymptomatic cases are present and so we must continue to implement our social distancing measures.
 
Meanwhile, the Governor’s order (and FEMA approval) that enables homeless shelter residents to remain in hotels is currently authorized through June 1st. We hope that that the timeline of the hoteling will match the overall Stay Safe, Stay Home orders for the general public, but we also know that the shelter decompression in hotels was never intended to last forever.
 
We know that while shelters save lives and meet basic needs, shelters have never been the solution to homelessness. The solution has always been permanent housing. Likewise, hotels are helping protect people from COVID-19 spread, but this pandemic only made more clear that the safest place for anyone is a stable home. Now more than ever, we as a coalition need to double-down on our efforts to house as many people as possible so that we can return as few people as possible back to congregate shelters.
 
At CCEH, we continue to make available the funds that we administer from the state, the federal government, and non-government sources like be homeful to divert and rapidly exit people from shelters. This includes some additional funds that we have received from the National Low Income Housing Coalition, Bank of America, Lincoln Financial Foundation, and others to support our state’s COVID-19 efforts. We continue to speak with our partners including the Department of Housing, the Partnership for Strong Communities, the Corporation for Supportive Housing, HUD, CONN-NAHRO and others about ways that we can increase available housing for people experiencing homelessness.
 
We are still looking to hear about additional vacancies in the rental market, including private and subsidized apartments. If you know of any housing vacancies or want to help clients in your area locate housing, please visit our emergency housing form. We are actively seeking units for our clients and are grateful to the many realtors and property owners who have reached out to help. Faith communities interested in helping may also use the form to share their interest in helping. We can use all the help we can get!
 
As all this is happening, we are also focused on keeping clients and staff remaining in shelters safe. I encourage you to check our resource guide on a regular basis for updates on resources, protocols, and guides that may be helpful to you.
 
Wishing you safety and thank you for your service.
 
Yours,
 
Richard Cho

AFTER 20 YEARS, trust always existed between Henry Vargas & Mykl Astorga. 

Don Juan Entertainment, Inc’s President, Henry Vargas and Astorga Records’ Mykl Astorga & Jose  Rodriguez, announced today, the joint signing of releasing the Return of Pure Pleazure, the Reintroduction of Erik Christian and many more. 
Henry & Mykl go way back. On or around 1997-2000, Henry was and still is the owner of D.M.D.  Entertainment, Inc., which was the music distributor and financier of Artistik Records. The Pure Pleazure album  titled “Past & Present” was marketed and distributed by D.M.D. Entertainment, Inc at the time. Fast forward to the  present, these two distinctive gentlemen are doing it again. But this time, they’re going straight to mainstream  radio & more. “Everything happens for a reason, Mykl and I trust each other, and we’ve taken the initiative to  operate our products as a real record label.” said Henry. 

Last year in 2020, Henry released under Don Juan Entertainment, his smash hit “Pluto” on a mainstream level as a launching pad demonstrating to bring about what’s to come in 2021-23. “Pluto” aired on 14 major top  40fm mainstream radio stations, cementing this record as the first new school freestyle track to air on radio for  over a year on this level since 1992. Henry’s follow up records titled “Be my Chic” & “Abrazame” both landed No. 4 & 7 on the BDS Radio charts and in the top 10 of Rhythm 105.9fm, (a major top 40fm radio station). This success is  only the beginning. The joint venture between Astorga Records and Don Juan will be bringing quality music to be  aired and promoted bigger than “Pluto” & “Be my Chic”. This venture consists of a production team featuring  “Klubjumpers” (80 times RIAA certified platinum recording producers”), “Dark Intensity”, “Tim Schommer” &  “JAMusic”. Don Juan Entertainment, just recently signed a recording deal with Pop/Dance/Rock, recording artist “MIA” & Urban Pop Artist “Skoolyaad” with a release scheduled for early January 2022. In addition, Henry Vargas will also be landing his first weekly FM radio show titled “HENRY VARGAS PRESENTS THE FREESTYLE FILES WITH  HOST FREESTYLE RICKY”, this winter of 2021 on Rhythm 105.9fm. 

Its’s concluded that an alliance has been officially formed for a bright future between these three gentlemen and their team.

FreeWorldEmpire/Bungalo Universal Music Group Release



ZaRio is an extremely talented artist, producer, and songwriter. Often being compared to music geniuses such as Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, and Brian McKnight, due to the likeness in musical style. The singer, songwriter was classically trained and is educated in the field of R&B by vocal coach, Cynnamyn.

At just 8 years old ZaRio discovered his passion for music. After joining his middle school choir, he found himself falling even more in love with the arts. Fast forward to his teenage years, where he began to lead and organize the youth in Atlanta as well as other parts of the country.


That jump-started his love for activism, which led him to become a seasoned, motivational speaker with a passion for leadership, change, and personal development in his community and around the world. Between music and activism, ZaRio found it hard to balance both with his activism, usually outshining his love for music.

Now he’s set his sights on returning to music by releasing his debut single, She Don’t Know Love, with co-producer Errol “EZ” Taylor which includes catchy melodic sounds and beautiful harmonies that will touch your soul. ZaRio is bringing R&B back to the spotlight and doing so at an incredibly fast rate as he quickly climbs up the charts, and takes over streaming platforms as his latest song approaches 1,000,000 streams in its first few weeks and has hit the top ten on iTunes Charts.

ZaRio takes his role as an inspiration seriously, and in addition to his music, he heeded the call to activism, ZaRio envisioned his role as one of being a graceful leader in both music and manner, carrying himself as a gentleman in all ways. As in the video for “She Don’t Know Love”, he offers his admiration with respect and with true sincerity.

ZaRio also recently released a hit song to go along with his recent track which followed the singer through a beautiful snowy setting that takes your breath away in every scene. The video has attracted over 1,000,000 views globally in its first 30 days. The young star is just getting started as he plans to release his first EP, Sorry to Keep You Waiting, later in the year as a nod to R&B music fans across the world. You can download and stream his music on all platforms right now.

ZaRio stands to be an inspiration to others while being himself, a true Gentleman.

Both mentioned artist are known for their works including pays on words, creative analogues and taking music and prose to create audio paintings that morph into mental images that entertain and inspire.This latest track is the first since the release of his last song titled “No One”, which listed as the top track in the much respected Digital Radio Tracker chart for the Top 150 Independent Airplay Chart for Independent Music released this season.While presently listing favorably in the Global Top 200 chart simultaneously, it is no surprise that given his musical talent and pedigree of experience, the amazing and mysterious Mr. MooQ shows his fans old and new a brighter side of melodic bliss and continues to traverse the edge of creativity.Mr. MooQ writes and produces music alive with “feeling.” His thought-provoking lyrics are sung with a different spin, combining beautiful melodies with powerful grooves. Though the beats may change and the production will vary, every song tells a story and is written from the heart.For as long as he can remember, Mr. MooQ has always felt a passion and a flair for the creativity of music coursing through his soul. No matter the day’s activities and distractions it seemed music was ever present with melodies and lyrics in his thought processes. So it was natural for him as he grew older to explore how he could incorporate music more fully into his life.As an award winning musical artist and performer, he has enjoyed the accolades of success, including a Cleo in the advertising industry and developing music for numerous industries and commercial productions. He became sought out for his production talents, but still stove for perfecting his personal genre and style.Mr. MooQ has refined his musical sound into a hybrid genre that he refers to as EDM-Lite/Synth/Pop, evolving it to the next level. Calling upon his life experiences, this new music reflects on life’s intricacies and nuances combining thoughtful and witty lyrics with catchy melodies that often are very ‘danceable’, but also thought provoking.Check out Mr. MooQ’s latest musical efforts. You might just find that musical voice for which you have been looking.

South Florida native, Yung Rellz, is a Miami-based independent artist who is inspiring his audience to have no limits and live free. Always surrounded by music related activities as a kid such as chorus, drum core, piano, tuba, and dance, Yung Rellz kept busy to help him through difficult situations in his home life. Yung Rellz’s family is his inspiration behind this music. The family gives life to his creative process while also providing great support behind his work. Growing up, Yung Rellz lost his baby brother, his father was locked up, and he was back and forth between his step mother’s home, grandmother’s home and aunts’ home. Keeping music by his side through these extremely difficult situations kept what was going on around him off his mind. This is what became the driving gateway of creativity and inspiration in his music today.

Inspired by HOV, Drake, J. Cole, T.I. Jeezy Ross, Yung Rellz makes music for the hustlers, motivating his audience to live lavishly off their hustle, and to enjoy life to the fullest. Yung Rellz has released projects including “Goodvibes Only Tape”, and “Crown”. Yung Rellz is preparing for his anticipated next release “Son of a Felon” which draws upon business tactics learned from his father.
