Residential Programming
Transforming Lives Through Safe Housing and Holistic Support
At Hope Against Trafficking, we believe that healing begins with a home. Our two-year, cost-free residential program provides more than shelter—it offers stability, support, and a path forward for adult women survivors of human trafficking. With safe housing as the foundation, we walk alongside each woman as she reclaims her life and builds a future rooted in freedom, purpose, and hope.

Comprehensive Two-Year Program
Our two-year program is designed to help female survivors of human trafficking recover, rebuild, and prepare for independence. Through trauma-informed care, survivors receive support from licensed counselors in both individual and group settings. These sessions provide a safe space to work through their experiences, while tailored mental health support helps them address their unique challenges.
The program also focuses on life skills development, teaching practical skills like financial literacy, meal planning, and household management. The women participate in job readiness workshops to learn workplace skills and prepare for future employment. Additionally, the program offers education and vocational training, helping residents complete their GED, explore higher education, and gain hands-on experience through partnerships with local businesses.
Community engagement plays a key role in the program, offering residents opportunities to volunteer, mentor others, and connect with peers in supportive groups. These experiences help them build confidence, find purpose, and create strong, lasting connections. Together, these elements provide a foundation for survivors to heal, grow, and thrive in their journey toward a brighter future.
