The grant will focus on two vulnerable populations: criminal justice-involved survivors, including survivors of forced criminality and labor trafficking, as well as foreign national survivors. Additionally, the project will strengthen the homeless service system's capacity to respond to the needs of human trafficking survivors and evaluate the impact on survivor housing stability and system improvements. The grant period runs from October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2027.
