Intervention

• Continue supporting the Emergency Receiving Center (ERC) in Seattle as a low-barrier entry point for girls and women who have been exploited to get safety, rest, care, short-term housing, and help to determine the best long-term plan to meet their individual needs and goals.

• Adding another Community Advocate on the eastside of the state in order to:

1) provide crisis intervention and case management for victims

2) identify gaps in local services and make recommendations to fill them

3) build partnerships with area providers to increase collaboration along the continuum of care for victims.

Restoration

• Providing jobs to survivors.
• Creating a fund that service providers can draw upon to provide for a victim’s or survivor’s material needs as she is getting out, or trying to stay out, of the life. These dollars could be used for housing, substance abuse treatment, clothing, medical treatment, and/or transitioning into a long-term restoration program or facility.

Prevention

All of the prevention and demand reduction efforts SAFE has supported in the past are continuing in Phase Three but are being funded through their organization budgets.  We never want to duplicate other donors’ funds, so we are focusing our Phase Three resources on critical needs in the movement where not as much funding is available.

Intervention – Victim Services
