SEXUAL EXPLOITATION
Women who are forced into prostitution, sexually exploited or trafficked for sex work are a special population within the community of the homeless. This vulnerable population is particularly subject to alcohol and substance abuse and the violence and trauma of street life. They are often overlooked, disregarded, ignored, and looked down upon by social service providers. San Francisco SafeHouse is the only residential program of its kind in the city. It is also one of the few nationwide. We have successfully created a safe place for women to heal and live a dignified life. |

I Matter
"So, there is something huge that I've been ignoring for years - ME.
I matter.
What I say and do matters. I have learned this thanks to SafeHouse.
SafeHouse is saving our lives. SafeHouse is saving our souls.
We count.
Nobody is disposable. Nobody is a waste.
We all deserve a second chance.
I am finally getting all the help I always needed.
At thirty nine, I'm being re-parented by loving angels.
I'm safe."
