We have specialized services for females, males, transitional aged youth, undocumented persons, U.S. Citizens, LGBT population, who have experienced sex trafficking or commercial sexual exploitation. Our programs provide survivor-centered and empowerment-based services to strengthen and support survivors.

Emergency Shelter & Crisis Intervention: Exiting exploitative situations can be a long and very hard process. Access to service providers and resources before, during, and after a survivor's escape is crucial. Often this is a process and can take many attempts. We work with community-based organizations to support the in-person crisis response where individuals provide trauma-informed support and emergency shelter coordination for CSE and domestic trafficking survivors. This program is the access point to all other survivor services.

Community: We operate a day-time drop in center with the goal of increasing identification and connecting survivors with services. Our center serves as a safe place for survivors to come make friends, meet with a service coordinator, eat, or rest. We encourage and empower survivors to become independent by meeting basic needs and increasing awareness of the resources available to survivors.

Service Coordination: We work one-on-one with every person in our care to support them based on their individual needs and goals. Our Service Coordination program is divided into three phases: crisis intervention, stabilization phase, and long-term/closing phase. We provide each participant with survivor-centered comprehensive case management, resource coordination, and transitional housing support. These services are accessed at our drop-in center.
