Selah Freedom's Ground Breaking Ceremony

Coconut Telegraph

On April 23, Selah Freedom conducted a groundbreaking ceremony for Julie’s Place and Graduate Housing in Manatee County. Both of these projects are being added to Selah Freedom’s long-term residential housing campus, which is the largest residential program for survivors of sex trafficking in the state of Florida. Graduates of Selah Freedom’s Residential Program have received trauma therapy, a personalized education plan, job placement, mentorship as well as legal and medical aid. Graduates living in this beautiful home are still connected to resources and community on the Selah Freedom main campus, while also having an opportunity to pursue their personal and professional goals. 100% of the survivors in the Selah Freedom residential program are pursuing their education and career goals. 75% of the Selah Freedom graduates never return to the streets.  Julie’s Place is a 3000 square foot activity center dedicated to a special counselor who “believes all survivors have the resilience and spirit to overcome their past,” said the Anonymous donor for Julie’s Place.
