Supportive Housing
Research indicates that the majority of those in the sex trade want to leave but lack the options, resources, and agency to safely and successfully exit. Access to safe and stable housing is often cited as a primary barrier to exiting commercial sexual exploitation. Resilience Rising’s permanent supportive housing provides urgent, lifelong access to safe, stable, affordable housing for survivors and their children, ensuring that housing is never a primary factor turning them toward or preventing them from leaving the sex trade.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is housing first?
The housing first model prioritizes providing permanent housing as the foundation upon which other needs and goals can be met. This approach emphasizes Maslow's hierarchy of needs, recognizing that people need a safe place to live before they can attend to pursuits like health and employment. Housing first principles also eliminate barriers to housing such as prerequisites related to sobriety, financial stability, and criminal history.
