RESTORATION HOUSE OF GREATER KANSAS CITY

We restore and empower survivors of human trafficking in long term, residential safe homes with restorative programming that enables them to live self sustaining, fulfilling lives in reintegrated into society.

Most conservative estimate is 100,000 persons victimized by human trafficking in the US. 90% are female, approximately half of those are minors. There are only 1,600 total beds in the US for victims of human trafficking (adults and minors), leaving a massive gap in needed residential recovery services. Restoration House restores and empowers women and children survivors of human trafficking in long term, residential safe homes to address this problem. We accept survivors from all over the US.

We believe the healing and restoration process for those trafficked with chronic, multiple trauma and backgrounds of abuse require a long term, trauma-informed process in the context of a peaceful, safe, loving environment. Our process provides individual, focused programming that promotes sustainable healing.
We partner with clinical professionals in delivering, researching, developing, and training trauma-informed care inside holistic counter trafficking approaches.

We have two campuses (one adult women, one children) on 23 acres, with 25 beds, receiving placements from throughout the US. We are developing a Center of Excellence for Counter Human Trafficking modeled after St. Jude Children's Research Hospital with an eventual nation leading 64 beds by the end of 2024.

For survivor restoration and empowerment, 1st, we partner to ID trafficking victims. 2nd, we partner for rescue which involves crisis stabilization. 3rd is residential aftercare, involving trauma-informed therapy, mental health and medical care, and installation of life skills. 4th, residential reintegration with a shift toward training, education and job skills. 5th is transitional reintegration, building stable lives with living wage jobs. 6th is resourcing lifelong sustainment. 7th, the development of survivor leaders.

Second, our Sky's the Limit Capital Campaign attached in strategic plans section, addresses the funding needs to undergird our staff, program, and facilities expansion plans.

Third, we will develop survivor leaders to improve our approach and greatly extend our reach and impact in the anti trafficking movement.

Fourth, a multi disciplinary approach with comprehensive partners in a Center of Excellence in Count Human Trafficking will yield research, learning, improved trauma therapy, interdiction, prosecution, judicial reform, rescue, restoration and reintegration.

We are a networked, partnership oriented growing leader in providing residential recovery and empowerment services to survivors of human trafficking. Our partners include law enforcement, nationally recognized trainers, healthcare and psychiatric providers, and peer entities for best practice learning and mutual referrals.

We deliver progress and growth. This is evidenced in our growth from 5 beds in 1 safe house with restorative programming for adult women in 2015, to a second home for minor victims adding 7 beds in 2019, to a renovation and expansion tripling beds for adult women to 18 total beds end of 2021, to a third expansion plan in development to add an additional safe community of tiny cabins and cottages adding 17 more beds by the end of 2024 plus a lodge for 15 more beds for more programming flexibility, short term needs, survivor leader development, guest faculty and a Center for Excellence in Counter Human Trafficking.

We have strong governance in a diverse, talented, working Board of Directors.

Additionally our donor base, Foundations' support, and community and regional and national support are increasing significantly.
