It is with a heavy heart, after seven years of providing housing and support to human trafficking survivors, we have ceased operations and have dissolved our organization due to a lack of funding.
We are forever grateful for all the support we have received over the years. Your support allowed us to operate a safe house for survivors and provide other critical services to survivors across New Hampshire. While we will no longer be providing these much-needed services to survivors, we hope that survivors everywhere find a place where they can feel safe to be strong and flourish.
If you are a survivor in need of support, or simply want to better understand human trafficking, the following resources may be helpful. Please note that this list is not comprehensive and represents only a portion of resources that are available.
