Its mission is to end human and sex trafficking one woman at a time by empowering women to transform their lives through the healing power of life in community, providing a safe home and coordinating recovery services. Since its establishment, it has housed more than 30 residents and assisted more than 120 women through direct outreach, advocacy, referrals, and phone consultations.
