A Decade of Meeting Survivors Where They Are
The past 10 years have shown us that transformation multiplies. When one survivor finds safety, dignity, and belonging, the change doesn’t stop with them. It extends to their children, their families, their communities.
Now, we’re asking you to join us for 10 For The Next 10: Join The Well for $10/mo, give a one-time gift, or invite 10 friends to support The Landing. With your support, we can look forward to the next ten years of helping survivors of human trafficking find safety and freedom.
Ten Years.
700 Survivors.
One Family.
The past 10 years have shown us that transformation multiplies. When one survivor finds safety, dignity, and belonging, the change doesn’t stop with them. It ripples through our community for generations.
It extends to their children, their families, their communities. From 60 survivors in year one to more than 700 annually today, we’ve witnessed how small acts of love, repeated faithfully, compound into lasting change.

What Makes These 10 Years Possible
Jesus is at
the center.
We have Christ at the center of everything we do.
It changes how we show up and do the work we do because we are doing so not by our own doing but the authority of Christ.
We are trauma-informed.
Our staff understands the complex needs trafficking survivors face. From the moment someone walks through our doors to long-term case management, trauma-informed care permeates everything we do.
We accept survivors without judgment.
We accept people as they are, knowing they are loved by Christ and He sees them as a masterpiece. Survivors can walk in exactly as they are.
We are a family.
In the words of one of our clients: “The Landing is a family I choose on purpose. They have brought me up and so far from where I started from. The blessings that The Landing has offered, from stable housing to mental health support with therapy to the little things like gifts and meals, truly warms my heart.”
A Decade of Saying "Yes" to God and to Survivors.
2016
On January 11, 2016, we opened the doors of the first drop-in center in Houston specifically for survivors of human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation. Firstly, we started street outreach. Secondly, we began "Ending the Game" classes. Thirdly, and most importantly, we served over 50 survivors that year.
2017
In 2017, we received our first government grant and as a result we launched the following three classes and groups at The Landing drop-in center; "Community Group", "Women’s Health" Class, and lastly, "Celebrate Recovery".
2018
In 2018 we launched the "Empowerment Program". In this year we also developed new partnerships and as a result they launch two more workshops for survivors at The Landing. First, Workforce Solutions began "Job Readiness Workshops". And second, Family Houston started "Financial Stability Classes". We expanded into side offices as a result of increased programs. Because of this, our space got doubled!
2019
By mid 2019, we had served over 500 clients. In the fall, we spoke at our first National Conference – the JuST Conference, alongside the Texas Governor’s Office – Child Sex Trafficking Team. This year, we started Business Outreach and the Council on Recovery started Seeking Safety Groups at The Landing. We also celebrated two clients for graduating from Brazen Table– A 2nd Cup’s Culinary Program.
2020
At the beginning of the COVID-19 global pandemic, we launched our 24/7 Youth Advocacy Program, in response to a need for advocates to walk alongside recovered youth who are in crisis. This year, we went through a second expansion to accommodate for the 6 new hired staff and at the end of the year, we held our first ever Virtual Gala.
2021
In 2021, The Landing celebrated 5 years of walking alongside survivors of human trafficking! In addition, we passed a huge milestone of having served over 1,000 clients at The Landing since our doors have opened in 2016.
2022
In 2022, we served our 1,500th client and became a United Way funded partner, enabling the expansion of our Empowerment Program and Drop-In Center services. Empowerment graduates interested in entrepreneurship take additional classes and develop a business plans.
2023
In 2023, we served our 2,020th client! The Outreach team fostered a meaningful partnership with Harris County Youth Village to host a youth program centered around education and awareness. The Empowerment Program continued to grow — we celebrated 43 graduates in 2023!
2024
In 2024, our youth advocates piloted the 'Grown-ish' program, designed for older youth clients, which addresses life skills and financial management to support their transition into adulthood.
Our partnership with Path of Progression contributed to a 130% increase in individual counseling and support group participation.
2025
In 2025, we served 477 drop-in center clients and 94 youth through our Youth Advocacy program as we approached our 10-year anniversary. We hired our first on-staff Licensed Professional Counselor and celebrated five graduates from the Empowerment Program.
Our clients set and achieved 1,517 goals while we provided 3,041 case management sessions, 6,119 meals, and counseling for 180 survivors. As we prepared to enter our second decade, we anticipated serving over 700 survivors annually in 2026!
2026
The next chapter is being written right now. We're expanding into adjacent suites to create more space for healing. We're deepening partnerships across Houston to serve survivors regardless of location or language. We're measuring outcomes in housing stability, mental health, food security, and economic independence.
God has been faithful for 10 years, and we believe He's calling us to scale and deepen our services to human trafficking survivors.
We want you to be part of the next decade of transformation.
Join Us: 10 For The Next 10
As we celebrate 10 years of serving survivors, we’re inviting you to help us build the next decade of impact. We’re calling this campaign “10 for the Next 10” because small, consistent commitments compound into extraordinary change.
Here’s how you can participate:
Join The Well for $10/month. When you commit monthly, you become part of the steady, reliable support system survivors need as they rebuild their lives. Your recurring gift means we can plan ahead, expand programs, and welcome every survivor who walks through our doors.
Give a one-time gift of $10, $100, or $1,000. One-time gifts will help us expand our staff and space so we can keep saying “yes” to more survivors requesting support and “yes” to each survivor’s needs.
Invite 10 friends to support The Landing. You know the power of what happens here. Share our story with 10 people in your network. Forward this page to them. Post about our 10-year anniversary on social media. Introduce us to a business leader, a church pastor, or a foundation officer who might want to partner with us.
Transformation compounds. Your gift today multiplies into housing stability, economic independence, and families restored. Over the next 10 years, your consistent partnership will be part of thousands of stories we haven’t even imagined yet.
Will you join us?
