Federal Housing and Homelessness Programs for Human Trafficking Survivors

Survivors of human trafficking routinely identify housing and shelter among their top needs.

Some survivors are able to access and afford housing in the community on their own; others may require short-term assistance. This resource provides a detailed summary of how survivors of human trafficking may meet the eligibility requirements for federally funded housing and homelessness programs.
