The need for emergency housing for victims of sexual exploitation and abuse is urgent. The damage caused by prostitution, abuse, STDs, and drug use is lethal to young people who have no access to proper care.

As law enforcement continues to progress in its careful handling of victims, it is necessary to provide emergency housing for victims at all hours of the day and night, without fail. Every police officer, detective, or prosecutor connected to the rescue and care of these young victims tells Ahava Kids about their one common problem: "There is no place for victims." Now there is.

These young victims have been through horrible abuse. Often, when they are rescued by police, usually very late at night, there are absolutely no safe, reliable facilities capable of taking them in. From the moment they are taken off the streets, they are in need of shelter, food, security, and someone whom they can trust.

The Ahava Kids Safe Houses in New England and Georgia provide safe, comfortable, housing for these specific victims at a moment’s notice. Initially, it will include facilities for up to twenty residents, along with living area for staff, kitchen, bath, laundry, and storage facilities. Most importantly, it offers a home like environment for residents.

This allows Ahava Kids’ personnel, Intervention Specialists, to receive and care for victims whenever they are contacted by law enforcement. Having taking victims in, our staff then utilizes all the necessary resources to provide customized, long-term care.
