The Safe Shelter Collaborative improves access to urgently needed shelter for a greater number and diversity of human trafficking and domestic violence survivors.
The Safe Shelter Collaborative has three components:
1. Increase the capacity of organizations to offer survivor-centered, trauma-informed care to survivors of human trafficking.
2. Technology to maximize the ability to find available and appropriate shelter space.
.
Agencies contact each other with enough non-identifying client information to request shelter.
The average response time
is under 5 minutes.
3. The ability to source funding for a hotel room, when that is an appropriate and safe option for the survivor.
Engage supporters to make a tax-deductible donation for hotel stays via the SafeNight app.
Survivors are getting shelter faster. On average, agencies are responding to shelter requests in under 5 minutes.
Shelters are helping a broader diversity of survivors than expected.
Intake is expedited, reducing survivor re-traumatization.
