About Us
Providing Housing for Kids and Adults
Healing Place is the "housing" aspect of Bikers Against Trafficking and Family4Today. At present we team up with the Alan Madden Foundation and select (pre-screened) individuals to provide housing for over 200 kids and young adults who come from being trafficked for sex. We provide all the services along with our partners and we are able to do so because our model allows us to use existing homes and partnering the right person with the right home. We place one person per home. Although we do operate a couple of homes ourselves. At present we have three houses in Central FL and 7 apartments. We also are establishing other homes in TN; VA; PA and Florida.
The Cost
We are very fortunate in that we partner with many individuals to make this happen. As a result of utilizing food pantries, churches resources and a lot of dedicated volunteers we are able to provide a home for a child or young adult for ONLY $400 per month. At present we have a waiting list of 57 as we don't have the funds to provide housing yet. Your partnership will help make this happen. Every penny you give will go towards housing if you click the housing link "donate" button below.
Healing Place Houses
Healing Place, the housing component of Bikers Against Trafficking & Famiy4Today was started in 2016 and since that time we have been able to provide clinical trauma counseling to over 530 individuals (children and adults) who have been trafficked and their families. We have also been able to provide housing for quite a few and the need continues to grow.
At present we provide for 200 kids and young adults with the combined energy and resources of our partners. How it works?
We locate individuals who are retired or who have time to be home and the resources to manage their own home successfully. We then build a relationship with those individuals, provide background checks and train them to become partner homes with us. After training we then place one individual with them and then provide resources to help that home be successful. The resources involve clothing, schooling, mentoring, counseling, medical, job placement and whatever else is needed.
We are able to place an individual into a home for $400 per month.
We are looking for financial partners to assist us. We are also looking for homes who are able to take an individual into their family---for those who want to volunteer to provide their gifts (doctors, nurses, counselors, mentors, etc...) ---and for anyone who wants to help us spread the word.
You can check out our Bikers Against Trafficking website (BAT) to learn more about us. You can also donate and mark your donation housing and 100% of those funds will go to the Healing Place Ministry.
