We are an outcomes-based organization.

Who We Serve

Right now, 26,000 people are being trafficked in New York City. Data shows that traffickers don’t target individuals—they target vulnerabilities. Communities most affected by racism, sexism, and classism are disproportionately impacted by trafficking.

At Restore, Serena met with the Client Services team to work through the emotional trauma of not only being trafficked but also losing her children.

Restore connected her to a legal team to help her get her children back. Serena was determined to do everything she could to reunite with her children and found the strength to boldly demonstrate to the State that she could care for her children.

“Owning a business is important to me. It is the most important thing. I lost my power and control because of my past experience, but now I have a chance to be my own boss and provide for my family.”

The Freedom Index

To define freedom, monitor progress, and understand all components of the survivor’s journey, Restore developed the Freedom Index (FI). This tool captures Restore’s holistic approach to supporting survivors on their journey toward freedom and measures Restore’s ability to support survivors’ progress toward freedom across five areas: housing stability, job security, living wages, mental well-being, and perception of safety.

The impact data presented here reflects Restore’s achievements and program outcomes and is accurate as of September 30, 2024. We are committed to transparency and providing the most up-to-date information regarding our progress in supporting survivors of trafficking.
