Amirah’s mission is to provide refuge for those seeking to break free from exploitation and heal in community on their journey toward lasting hope.
Rapid Re-housing, Case Management, and Resource Center
Amirah exists to provide aftercare, resources, and opportunities to adult women who have experienced different forms of sexual exploitation, sex trafficking, and prostitution. We do this by offering residential opportunities, wrap-around services, and external education, all with the goal of helping women leave poverty, addiction, and exploitation behind. Our supportive services include comprehensive case management, economic stability planning, housing navigation, support groups, individual coaching, and peer care navigation. We provide supportive services to clients living in our residential program, those housed in other local housing programs, and clients housed independently or seeking housing placement.
Our Rapid Re-Housing program quickly places women into permanent housing and provides rental assistance for 2 years. During these 2 years, we develop an economic stability plan with each woman and empower her to reach her goals so that she can thrive in independence. We work to keep women in permanent housing after the rental assistance expires and we continue to offer case management, life coaching, groups, and communal opportunities with no expiration date.
Amirah’s RRH program is designed to help women achieve stability in four primary areas:
-
Housing Security: When we are not safely housed, we are not safe at all.
-
Economic Stability: When we cannot pay our bills, we are at risk.
-
Communal Connections: When we isolate, we stagnate. When we find safe community, we soar.
-
Self Esteem: We don’t just believe that we are worthy of these things – we know it.
