Shelters/Treatment Centers for Victims of Trafficking Angela‘s House - Atlanta, Georgia - Formerly associated with the Juvenile Justice Fund in Atlanta, Angela‘s House has recently changed ownership—and is now run by Youth Villages, a national corporation. Ten years ago the Juvenile Justice Fund (JJF) pioneered a solution to the tragic challenge facing girls who are the victims of commercial sexual exploitation. In collaboration with the judges of the Fulton County Juvenile Court, we recognized that there were no facilities or programs in the southeast dedicated to addressing the unique challenges faced by this population and extremely low public awareness. Angela‘s House was born out the urgent need for safe, secure, stable housing and appropriate treatment to rescue our girls off the streets.
