The Landing

Why this matters:

  • Less than 1% of human trafficking victims are identified

  • Many victims don't even realize they're being trafficked

  • Traditional services require victim identification, creating barriers to help

  • By serving anyone who has experienced the sex trade, we eliminate these barriers

  • This approach increases victim identification and connects more people with life-saving support

Founded in 2015, The Landing started as a dream to reach survivors who were slipping through the cracks. Our founders wanted to create a safe space for survivors, regardless of whether they were ready to leave their current situation.

Why Belonging Matters

Families sign up their kids for swim lessons or sports not just to learn skills, but to make friends and feel like they belong. Seniors come for exercise classes and stay to talk over coffee. People walk through our doors for programs, but they stay because they feel seen and supported.

Recent research shows that feeling connected to others is more important for success than age, race, or income. The Y uses this information to create programs that bring different generations together and help people feel less alone.
