The tiny home village, comprising 14 houses, is set to house a total of 28 local women upon completion.

The project is a collaborative effort, with local builders and volunteers contributing to the construction of both the homes and their furnishings. The initiative is designed to offer a specialized comprehensive two-year healing program for women who have experienced sex trafficking, sexual exploitation, and addiction.

The groundbreaking project not only provides a physical shelter but also emphasizes a holistic approach to healing.

The two-year program empowers women to lead a life free from trafficking and its aftermath.

Individuals and organizations interested in supporting this transformative project can explore sponsorship opportunities for women in the program or volunteer their time. To learn more about how you or your organization can contribute, visit VillagesofHope.org.
