The Power of Stability

Join us in transforming the lives of trafficking survivors through care, support, and community.

The Power of Stability

In a world that focuses on the moment of escape, we focus on the lifetime that follows. True impact isn't just an exit from the past; it is the slow, steady building of a future.

Research on survivor recovery identifies a holistic model of reintegration, meaning no single intervention is enough. Survivors need multiple supports working together to rebuild independence. ~From Victim to Survivor in Human Trafficking: Emphasizing a Holistic Return to Social Functioning. ~Adam Maciejewski; Therapy Route, 2025

The strongest programs combine:

  1. Housing stability

  2. Economic empowerment

  3. Trauma recovery

  4. Long-term support networks

  5. Education and workforce development

The odds are stacked against those who escape.

Without stable housing, employment, and community, eight out of ten survivors return to their traffickers. We exist to break that cycle. Every day in our program is a day of resistance against the pull back into darkness.

  • 80 % Recidivism without transitional support

    Economic instability is a major barrier for survivors of trafficking. Without access to stable income, housing, and essential resources, many survivors remain vulnerable to re-exploitation or returning to their trafficker to meet basic needs.

    The 1ninety-nine Program seeks to provide a foundation for true freedom by implementing the 4-E Framework through a two-phase program model designed to support survivor stability, growth, and long-term independence.

  • Housing Security protects against Recidivism

    Research and policy reviews consistently note that stable housing is one of the strongest protective factors against trafficking recidivism. ~US Department of Housing and Urband Development 2024

    Housing provides:

    Physical safety from traffickers

    Stability to access jobs and education

    A foundation for trauma recovery

    Reduced financial pressure that traffickers often exploit

  • 2-5 Years to build a foundation

    For most trafficking survivors, rebuilding a stable, independent life takes 2–5 years of consistent support.Recovery is not just about rescue—it’s about providing the long-term foundation needed to thrive.

    “Addressing human trafficking does not end with identification and emergency support. Finding healing and stability is often a lifelong process, and continued support makes a significant difference in the milestones survivors are able to achieve. Long-term care is essential to empowering survivors to healing after exploitation, building independence, and finding true freedom and hope.” -Elizabeth Fields, Safehouse Project, 2025.

The Daily Small Wins

Witness the powerful journeys of our survivors.

  • Restoring physical health allows survivors to focus on rebuilding their lives with renewed strength and stability.

  • Access to counseling provides survivors with a safe space to process their experiences, rebuild trust, and develop healthy coping strategies. Each session represents progress toward emotional stability and renewed hope.

  • Traffickers often manipulate or suppress a survivor’s sense of identity and spirituality. Through a supportive Christian community, survivors have the opportunity to rediscover faith and overcome barriers that once limited their spiritual growth. This restoration brings peace, dignity, and renewed purpose.

  • The ability to drive opens doors to employment, medical appointments, grocery shopping, and community engagement. This small step often marks the first moment a survivor can move through the world on their own terms.

  • Getting a job represents more than income—it represents independence and self-worth. Survivors gain the opportunity to develop skills, contribute to their community, and experience the dignity of earning their own living. Each new job is a step toward sustainable independence.
