The Project Grant award, in the amount of $1,150,000.00, was issued by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs under the Congressionally Recommended Awards program (CFDA 16.753). The funding will support Turnaround, Inc., a non-profit organization, in operating Maryland's first safe house for child survivors of human trafficking. The project aims to provide high-quality, intensive clinical and non-clinical services to children and youth aged 13-17 who have experienced commercial sexual exploitation and trafficking. The residential services program will serve youth from across the state, offering trauma-informed care, mental/behavioral health support, reunification assistance, and transition/integration services. This funding will help fill a critical gap in services for child trafficking survivors in Maryland and improve safety and recovery outcomes for this vulnerable population.
