Providing Transitional Housing for Women Victim-Survivors of Human Trafficking and Their Children
Transition Home Residents receive 24-hour, comprehensive care especially tailored for adult women who have exited human trafficking. Services are provided in a welcoming, home setting and delivered in a trauma-informed, victim-centered, culturally sensitive manner so that each individual’s unique needs are met and Residents feel empowered to achieve their goals.
24-Hour Care
At the Transition Home, Residents are provided support around the clock, 24 hours a day. That means that Dragonfly Transition Home Advocates who specialize in providing care for human trafficking survivors are on-site to provide support at any time, day or night.
Survivor Residents receive comprehensive care and services in a restorative home setting at The Dragonfly Transition Home. Residents have access to the comprehensive, specialized services through our Human Trafficking Relief and Restoration Center.
A Place Like Home
The Dragonfly Home staff is passionate about providing care and assistance in a comfortable, cozy setting. The Transition Home is a place where human trafficking victim/survivors can experience relief and restoration in the warm, inviting setting of home.
Empowerment and Restoration
One of the cruelest aspects of human trafficking is that traffickers rip away their victim’s power to make choices. Another is that traffickers work to make sure their victims can’t see any hope for a different life, one where they can dream and set goals.
At The Dragonfly Transition Home, our Advocates are dedicated to getting to know our Survivor Residents and help them find hope and begin to believe in themselves. Residents receive encouragement to choose whatever goals they desire, whether that’s:
- Getting a GED or college degree
- Finding permanent housing
- Setting longer-term career goals
- Reconnecting with family
- Developing a new skill or passion for art, music, writing, animals, photography, knitting, etc.
