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.

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 Model Safe House will provide safe, comfortable, housing for these specific victims at a moment’s notice. Initially, it will include facilities for up to ten residents, along with living area for staff, kitchen, bath, laundry, garage and storage facilities. The building will also contain high levels of security apparatus and safety design considerations. Yet, it will offer a home like environment for residents.

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

Calling on the disciplines of and professionals in the medical field, mental health care, psychology, counseling, family counseling, nutrition and wellness, educational training, job training, and parent training, Ahava Kids will coordinate the necessary care for victims.

The Ahava Kids Model Safe House will introduce a previously unknown solution to the urgent needs of young victims in the United States. No other program addresses their specific afflictions.

NOTE: As an example of the urgent need for this program in the United States, a very prominent U.S. Attorney has asked if Ahava Kids will be available to care for, build relationships with, and manage the rehabilitation of young victims for any upcoming cases. Of course, we have committed to all of this, along with assisting federal, state and local law enforcement in any way we can. All of this is directed to our first priority: the care, protection and rehabilitation of young victims.

We cannot allow the needs of victims to go unanswered. These young people must be given the immediate and ongoing care they require in order to live a safe, healthy and long life. If their needs go unanswered, the abuse they suffer in childhood will manifest in later years. This will only lead to further abuse, mental and physical illness, drug use and criminal behavior.

The Ahava Kids Model Safe-House will fill an enormous and immediate need in the care of young victims of exploitation, trafficking and abuse. Right now, many victims have no place to go. This facility is an urgently needed solution to a problem faced by all law enforcement agencies in the United States. This program works directly with law enforcement agencies and health care providers to quickly and efficiently bring immediate care to victims.

Ahava Kids has the capability to network all stakeholders in this effort. Together, we can help these young victims while bringing an end to this crime. With the proper funding, this program can begin almost immediately.

The Ahava Kids Safe House Program Objectives are:

• Establish funding for the initial Ahava Kids Model Safe-House in Connecticut.
• Open and operate a safe house in Connecticut for the rescue and care of young victims of trafficking and exploitation in New England and New York City.
