Anti-Trafficking International

What Anti-Trafficking International does

Safe House Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2017 and headquartered in Virginia Beach, Virginia, that operates a vertically integrated national platform for combating child sex trafficking in the United States. The organization's mission is to raise survivor identification rates beyond one percent through community education, AI-enabled tip reporting, crisis response coordination, and a national network of safe housing.

Its core product surface combines an AI-powered reporting tool (Simply Report, launched in 2025 with 22,900+ signals received in its first year), the OnWatch community training program (510,000+ people trained), specialized healthcare provider training modules, survivor response services supporting 200+ survivors monthly, and a national safe housing network comprising 624+ vetted spaces that deliver 227,760 safe nights annually. Survivor response services coordinate crisis response, transportation, and placement into restorative care, while sub-brands such as Team Protectors Podcast, Just Ask Prevention, and Certification Programs extend its awareness and professional training footprint.

The organization is funded entirely by charitable donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations; it charges survivors nothing for services. Go-to-market is community-led, relying on referral partnerships with healthcare systems, law enforcement, child protective services, libraries (Norfolk Public Libraries), and corporate partners such as Forshaw Inc., alongside digital channels including the Simply Report mobile app, podcast content, galas, and advocacy campaigns.

Direct peers

• Thorn: Tech-forward nonprofit focused on building tools to fight child sexual exploitation and trafficking. Strongest direct peer given shared tech-enabled approach, similar mission around child sex trafficking identification, and use of AI/data systems for impact.
• Refuge for Women: Operates safe houses specifically for sex trafficking survivors nationally. Direct peer and named partner of Safe House Project - comparable in providing emergency and long-term housing for adult female trafficking survivors.
• Shared Hope International: National nonprofit focused specifically on domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST) - directly overlapping Safe House Project's core mission. Comparable in survivor housing, training programs, and policy advocacy.

Regional players

• CAST (Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Trafficking): Los Angeles-based anti-trafficking organization providing shelter, case management, and policy advocacy. Comparable in providing survivor housing and direct services, but geographically concentrated rather than national.

Emerging players

• Maternova: Mission-driven venture focused on maternal and neonatal health innovations. Tangentially related as a social-impact tech-enabled organization, but not directly comparable in trafficking focus.

Broad incumbents

• International Justice Mission: Large international anti-trafficking organization working on rescue, restoration, and justice. Comparable in survivor aftercare and rescue operations, but with global operations and a justice-system focus rather than domestic safe-house network.
• National Center for Missing & Exploited Children: Largest U.S. organization focused on missing and exploited children, including trafficking recovery. Comparable in serving child trafficking survivors and operating national infrastructure (CyberTipline), but with much broader mission scope.
• A21: International anti-human trafficking organization operating in multiple countries with awareness, prevention, aftercare, and advocacy programs. Comparable in survivor aftercare and prevention training, with broader geographic scope.
• Polaris Project: Larger established anti-trafficking nonprofit operating the National Human Trafficking Hotline. Comparable in operating a national anti-trafficking infrastructure, hotline referrals, and survivor services - broader scope including labor trafficking.

Others

• National Network for Youth: National advocacy and capacity-building organization for youth-serving programs including trafficking-vulnerable populations. Comparable in serving at-risk youth populations and influencing federal policy, adjacent rather than direct competitor.
