Every minute matters. Our Get Help Program connects survivors to immediate care, housing, and trained advocacy the moment they reach out.
The First Hour Matters
Escaping is only the first step. In that first hour, a survivor needs safety, care, and someone who knows what to do next, without delay. Many have already been overlooked once, which makes reaching out again feel uncertain.
Safe House Project connects that moment of crisis to a safe next step, working with healthcare providers, law enforcement, and community organizations so no survivor has to navigate their first steps in freedom alone.
What Get Help IncludesIncludes
- Swift access to critical services
- Professional support from trained survivor advocates
- Transportation and placement into safe housing, matched to each survivor's needs
- Continued check-ins as survivors transition into longer-term care
A Response Built on Trained People, Not Just Fast Ones
Get Help only works because the people behind it are prepared. Three groups of trained responders make up that network, each built for a different point in a survivor's path to safety:
01
CORE
Direct care staff at safe homes and anti-trafficking organizations complete a 13-session, trauma-informed training series, so survivors receive consistent, ethical care from the moment they arrive.
02
Ally
Educators, healthcare providers, faith leaders, and community members complete trauma-informed training to support survivors effectively in the moments before and after a crisis, without causing unintentional harm.
03
Response Line Navigators
Trained volunteers staff our response line as a warm line, giving survivors a compassionate first response and helping them move toward the right next step. This role isn't casual: navigators are trained for confidentiality, consistency, and emotional steadiness before they ever take a call.
How the Response Line Works
When a survivor reaches out, a trained Response Line Navigator answers first — not a script, but a person who listens without judgment. They connect a survivor with a Survivor Support Case Manager who then coordinates transportation and placement into the right safe housing, then stay in touch as survivors move into longer-term care.
Every response is a step toward lasting freedom — starting now, and never alone.

Our team responds immediately — assessing safety, coordinating transportation when needed, and connecting the survivor to vetted safe housing and trained advocates. Response begins the moment someone reaches out.

Trained advocates and Response Line Navigators who understand trafficking and trauma. Every person on the line has completed our survivor-informed training.

Survivors of any age or gender can be referred through healthcare providers, law enforcement, community organizations, or by reaching out directly.
Does support end once a survivor reaches safe housing?

How does Safe House Project help the public identify trafficking?
Two ways: training — over 510,000 people equipped to recognize the signs — and Simply Report, which turns everyday observations into actionable tips for law enforcement.
