Safe at Home
Join us, as we offer a Rent-Free, 2-year, residential restorative program for women in recovery from domestic sex trafficking & Commercial sexual exploitation.
Sparrow Place is NOT a point-of-rescue or emergency shelter. Often, Survivors will come from a safe house/transitional program, rehab, prison, or age out of a minors’ facility prior to coming to us. For more information about residents, see Target Population.
Sparrow Place is a sanctuary, with an array of support and healing services. Needs are identified and an Individual Goal Plan is created and modified as necessary to meet the physical, psychological, emotional, spiritual, & relational needs of each Resident.
Our program is modeled after the highly successful residential recovery model of Thistle Farms, TN. They have been loving and healing women survivors of sex trafficking and prostitution for over 20 years. We are excited to be part of their 60 (& counting!) sister-programs throughout the country.
The VISION of Sparrow Place is that of women growing and healing individually and collectively, while living in community.
We seek to empower women by:
providing a 24 month, RENT-FREE, home environment based on a community living model;
helping Residents live in recovery with an honest and self-sufficient lifestyle;
providing assistance with educational, vocational, and life-skill building opportunities;
fostering self-understanding through personal and spiritual growth;
providing access to medical, dental, vision, and mental health providers;
cultivating money management skills through the use of a budget and savings program; and
Now offering opportunities to work towards economic self-sufficiency through our JUSTICE ENTERPRISE “Healing Happens”, created specifically to employ our women in meaningful work and life skills in a safe and healing environment.
