Housing Crisis for Trafficking Survivors | Charleston News
Description
South Carolina’s housing crisis for human trafficking survivors is a life-or-death emergency: over 300 victims identified last year, yet fewer than half the beds needed to offer safe recovery. Male survivors have zero dedicated housing, and only one nonprofit shelters children—while women’s services, like those from “I Am Voices,” operate with fewer than 20 beds across two homes. Without stable housing, survivors can’t access critical support like mental health care, education, or employment, forcing many back to abusers. Officials are racing to build specialized facilities for minors and male victims, reviewing grant applications for funding—and urgently seeking unused buildings, from churches to rentals, to repurpose as shelters. The call is clear: help turn empty spaces into healing homes.
