We launched a mobile clinic that enables us to respond to survivors of sex trafficking within 24 hours of them contacting us. Our Program Administrator meets with the individual seeking help at a safe, neutral location like a coffee shop or park to conduct a needs assessment. From there, we help her find safe housing.
