Human Trafficking Grant

Cleveland group gets grant to help them build the first human trafficking emergency response center in our area.

A cleveland non profit that works to combat human trafficking has been awarded a grant from the department of justice.

Willowbend farms has been given more than 700-thousand dollars to continue to fight against sex trafficking in our area.

The organization is planning to build a human trafficking emergency response center - the first of its kind in our area.

This is going to allow us to have a more responsive behavior towards helping someone instead of a reactive behavior where we need to contact someone to see if a domestic violence shelter has something open.

This takes us completely out of reactive mode, allows us to respond so we will be able to take someone to a secure location immediately."

If you suspect human trafficking, report it to the police
