Shelters/Treatment Centers for Victims of <strong>Trafficking</strong><br />

Angela‘s House<br />

- Atlanta, Georgia<br />

- Formerly associated with the Juvenile Justice Fund in Atlanta, Angela‘s House<br />

has recently changed ownership—and is now run by Youth Villages, a national<br />

corporation. Ten years ago the Juvenile Justice Fund (JJF) pioneered a solution to<br />

the tragic challenge facing girls who are the victims of commercial sexual<br />

exploitation. <strong>In</strong> collaboration with the judges of the Fulton County Juvenile<br />

Court, we recognized that there were no facilities or programs in the southeast<br />

dedicated to addressing the unique challenges faced by this population and<br />

extremely low public awareness. Angela‘s House was born out the urgent need<br />

for safe, secure, stable housing and appropriate treatment to rescue our girls off<br />

the streets.<br />
