Metro United Way’s Role
From 2020-2023, Metro United Way worked with community leaders and existing anti-trafficking groups to map out the full range of programs and strategies needed to combat human trafficking in our community, including services currently available to survivors, and determined gaps in access to programs or services that address their needs.
A complete landscape analysis of the current state of human trafficking and anti-trafficking efforts in our local community was completed. This report takes a deep dive into existing statewide legislation, known literature on the subject, and local qualitative analysis including key informant interviews, surveys and focus groups comprised of a wide cross-section of individuals across multiple sectors in our community. In all, over 200 people and nearly 40 organizations contributed to the research. The full report can be found HERE. A summary of report findings can be found HERE.
