Glory House
We are fundraising for a transitional home for 17-24 year-old trafficking survivors called Glory House. This is the next step in our Continuum of Care to give Overcomers a safe, stable place to live while healing from trauma.
Why Glory House?
A young person begins to heal.
They show up to counseling, work hard in GED classes, and finally start believing their future could look different than their past.
But after class, they still don’t have a safe place to live. So they stay with their trafficker because it feels safer than the streets. Or they stay with a family member that was a previous abuser. Or they live in a storage unit.
This actually happens. Without safe, stable housing, healing is filled with setbacks, frequently interrupted, and extremely difficult to sustain.
That’s why Refuge City is creating Glory House.
Glory House will be a safe, stable transitional home for females ages 18–24 who are actively engaged in after-care services like school, counseling, and employment.
Glory House is not a crisis safehouse. It is not an emergency shelter.
It is the fourth phase of Refuge City’s Continuum of Care toward independent living that will provide:
-
Safe, stable housing
-
Counseling and education support
-
Life skills, job placement, and mentorship
-
Christ-centered care and community
Glory House is critical because healing doesn’t pause when counseling sessions and GED classes are over. True restoration requires a safe place to rest, grow, and rebuild so they can keep coming back until they are ready for independent living.
Join us in creating a safe place to rest, grow, and rebuild.
Will you pray, volunteer, or give to help make Glory House possible?
Many Overcomers who are progressing in our programs still do not have a safe, stable place to live. It is extremely difficult for Overcomers to learn in school and heal in counseling when they are returning home to traumatizing circumstances.
Sarah* was a Refuge City Overcomer who had no choice but to live with her trafficker while she was getting help in our program.
Maria* was living with her abuser upstairs while attending our GED school. Another Overcomer lived in a storage unit.
Glory House solves this problem.
