Quick and dirty:

people_table
    person_id  PK
    name_last
    name_first
    email_address
    ph_number
    ...

location_table
    loc_id   PK
    person_id_fk FK <--> people_table(person_id)
    loc_name
    loc_st_addr
    loc_st_city
    loc_st_st_prov
    ...

contact_table
    contact_id  PK
    loc_id_fk   FK <--> location_table(loc_id)
    contact_ph_number
    contact_email  --Can be null

It can get more involved then this, depends on how flexible you want to get.
