Northwest Florida
Welcome to The Freedom Collective
Our mission is to Glorify God by bringing hope to victims of sexual exploitation, empowering them to live free, and ultimately abolishing sex trafficking.
Our Solution
Opening in 2025, we are thrilled to announce the launch of a 24-hour Emergency Safe Home, providing safety and stabilization for survivors of sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation.
About Our Emergency Safe Home
Located at an undisclosed, secure location, our Safe Home offers:
24/7 Emergency Intakes: We accept survivors around the clock, ensuring immediate safety and care.
Short-Term Residential Care: Residents stay an average of 2-4 weeks, during which they:
Attend medical and psychiatric appointments.
Participate in trauma-informed groups.
Engage in skills-building classes designed for growth and independence.
Apply for long-term recovery programs or transitional housing.
Our team is dedicated to providing holistic, trauma-informed care tailored to each individual’s needs.
Community Outreach Program
In addition to the Safe Home, The Freedom Collective Northwest Florida will also offer:
Princess Night Outreach
We have a street outreach initiative where we engage with women in vulnerable situations, providing a rose, handwritten card with encouragement, resources, and offer prayers.
Jail Mentorship Program
Offering mentorship, advocacy, and support to women in the criminal justice system, helping them find a path to healing and restoration.
