The Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs, through the Services for Trafficking Victims program (CFDA 16.320), awarded a $949,920 Project Grant to Roca Inc., a non-profit community development organization based in Chelsea, Massachusetts. The grant will fund the "The Cognitive Approach to Reduce Trafficking (CART)" project, which will provide trauma-informed, intensive, long-term services including outreach, case management, advocacy, and comprehensive programming to assist young women between the ages of 14 and 24 who are confirmed or suspected victims of human trafficking in the Connecticut cities of Hartford, East Hartford, Manchester, and New Britain. The key objectives of the project are to improve behavioral, mental, and relationship health outcomes for participants, help them extricate themselves from criminal involvement, and increase their economic stability through services such as cognitive behavioral therapy, harm reduction programming, restorative justice practices, life skills training, education, and employment support. The project will complement existing anti-trafficking efforts in the target geography and address gaps in comprehensive services for the targeted age group of women.
