The County of Riverside, California was awarded a $749,940 Cooperative Agreement from the Department of Justice's Services for Trafficking Victims program (CFDA 16.320) to establish an anti-human trafficking task force. The funding will create five key positions, including a task force coordinator, lived experience advisory board, bilingual outreach worker, and response team advocates. The goals are to expand the task force's intelligence network to increase the identification of labor and sex trafficking victims and provide comprehensive services to assist them towards survivorship. Since October 2019, the task force has served over 574 human trafficking victims and worked on over 473 investigations, resulting in 46 criminal prosecutions of traffickers. The award aims to further enhance the task force's victim-centered, multi-pronged approach to training, outreach, and service delivery across Riverside County, which covers over 7,300 square miles and serves a population of 2.5 million.
