Our Founding

In 2014, a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) became our launchpad, enabling us to acquire and renovate Sanctum House. With these funds, we transformed an assisted living facility into our first survivors’ residence.

With a foundation in place, a caring community, and dedicated volunteers, we equipped ourselves to welcome our very first Human Trafficking Survivor Resident. In February 2018, supported by friends, family, and a loving community, we opened the doors of our two-year recovery program.

In the years since, we’ve provided resources for hundreds of women. In 2022, we were honored with grants from both the Federal and State Governments, funding our upcoming expansion and grants to help with operational costs, respectively. With the unwavering support of our community, our capacity will soon grow nearly threefold.
