APPROACH: WE OPERATE FROM THE EXIT RAMP FOR SURVIVORS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING. OUR PROCESS: Our process is rooted in its strong partnerships with aftercare programs nationwide that nominate women to EHN. These after programs provide emergency and immediate needs to survivors to ensure a level of stability. When they are ready, they nominate them to EHN. OUR ADVOCATES: Our trauma-informed Advocates collaborate with nominees on a self-determined Empowerment Plan that spans 12 to 18 months and focuses on housing solutions, financing education, and establishing steady wage career. OUR SUPPORT SYSTEM: In line with best practices working with domestic violence survivors and homeless persons, EHN supports a permanent housing model and career paths that focus on the individual’s unique needs and plans. OUR APPROACH: This is not a handout. EHN’s innovative approach leans into existing services to eliminate overlapping resources while putting each survivor in the driver’s seat, often for the first time. It is true empowerment, with each survivor at the center of service, determining her own success.
