Restoration home project

The Need for a Restoration Home

Since 2007, the National Human Trafficking Hotline has identified 197,000 victims of human trafficking. Of those identified, the vast majority of victims are women and girls who were coerced into sex trafficking, and once extracted, often lack trauma-informed therapy and long-term housing for their recovery.

Each year, the U.S. Department of State reports “insufficient access to housing, including transitional housing and long-term housing options for trafficking victims.” And in their 2021 report, “advocates reported even more drastic lack of access to housing . . . coupled with increased assistance requests.”

Pennsylvania is not exempt from the housing shortage for survivors of human trafficking. The fact is, there are far more victims than there are beds available.

Now more than ever, survivors need a safe home and community to find peace, joy, and rest. This is why one of Greenlight Operation’s initiatives is to provide a safe haven to survivors through a long-term residential program in the greater Harrisburg area. Our home will house female survivors for 12-18 months. Upon arrival, survivors will be enrolled in a restoration program, which will provide individualized, comprehensive care. This will include trauma therapy, counseling, access to medical and dental care, and courses that equip each woman to live an independent and sustainable life. Survivors will not be charged a fee for their stay, as we want them to focus 100% on their healing and recovery.

The Restoration Home's Roadmap to Launch

Last updated: May 2024

Help us open the doors of our restoration home!

Every resident that receives restorative care within our home will have the opportunity to break the cycle of abuse and trauma. Your investment impacts more than the residents we house. Your gift will touch generations.

Volunteer independently, or coordinate a group service day with your church, club, or workplace to schedule a group service day.

Consider purchasing items from our registry for our restoration home, or donate gently used items. For gently used donations, please email info@greenlightoperation.org.

Consider donating a one-time or monthly gift to help fund the Restoration Home Project, which supports the healing and recovery of survivors of sex trafficking.

Why am I redirected to Christian Life Assembly's giving page?
