CATHERINE’S COTTAGE

WHAT IS CATHERINE’S COTTAGE?

 

Founded in 2017, Catherine’s Cottage is a residential emergency safe house offering shelter and supportive wraparound services to human trafficking victims. It was named after The Salvation Army’s co-founder, Catherine Booth, who devoted much of her efforts to providing “rescue homes” for young women escaping sex trafficking in London, beginning in the late 1860s.

Currently, we are the only agency in Maryland providing housing exclusively for adult victims of human trafficking. Catherine's Cottage is also unique in that it serves survivors of both sex trafficking and labor trafficking. 

Almost 75 individuals have received shelter and supportive wraparound services. Those served have been victims of both sex trafficking and labor trafficking and have ranged in age from 19 to 64; they have included transgender individuals who identify as female, pregnant women, mothers with young children, and foreign nationals – populations who face barriers in finding housing through other programs that serve trafficking victims. We support our cottage patrons spiritually, mentally, and holistically. We provide love beyond basic human needs after surviving trauma.

 NEXT STEP PROGRAM

The Next Step Program is a journey towards healthy independence. Victims of human trafficking will be able to take the next step toward stable transitions, empowerment, and progress. By partnering with survivors, business leaders, and other agencies we build out supportive services focused on employment and financial independence.
