Goal 02
Survivors β
Flourishing
10,000 people were commercially exploited in DFW in 2025. A pipeline exists to reach them, restore them, and help them thrive. The gaps in that pipeline are closable - if the right organizations are coordinated and resourced.
Our goals are to:
The pipeline
From exploitation to thriving
10,000
People exploited for sex in DFW in 2025
Freedom Signal / Scarlet Hope reaches 100% of exploited individuals advertised online in DFW through mass SMS outreach. Altus Just In Time training increases healthcare identification rates by 100x. But most exploited individuals - particularly in illicit massage businesses - are still not being reached.
5,000
People currently reachable through active partner programs
Of the 15,000 exploited, approximately 5,000 are reachable through current identification pipelines. The remaining 10,000 are in venues - primarily illicit massage businesses - where Clapham is building identification infrastructure.
Data
to be sourced from EverFree + Altus
How many of those offered services are receiving sustained, ongoing support? This is the stage where the system most frequently fails - warm referrals between organizations are inconsistent.
130 businesses
are building the employment pipeline
Rahmah Recruiting / Turas Group, Freedom Business Alliance (130 businesses), and VeroSkills are building the employment pipeline. Gracelyn University provides career training to become accredited teachers. The goal: every survivor who wants a job has a clear pathway to one.
EverFree
tracks markers of human flourishing at 1, 3, and 5 years
Income, housing stability, relational health, and self-defined meaning. Clapham is working to make these the standard metrics for success in survivor care across DFW.
Learn about EverFree's Flourishing Framework
A staggering percentage of trafficking victims in DFW entered the system through the foster care pipeline.
Children who age out of foster care without a stable family are among the most vulnerable to exploitation. Preventing trafficking starts long before a victim is identified.
Local churches are uniquely positioned to recruit, train and support foster families. Clapham connects churches and organizations to the foster youth support network in DFW.

DFW is the
proving ground
If we can decimate 80% of trafficking here - in one of the most resourced and most trafficked regions in the country - we can show the nation how it is done.
