Naomi's House

What Naomi's House does

Naomi's House is a faith-based 501c3 nonprofit organization founded in 2016 by Simone Halpin and operating as a ministry of The Moody Church. It provides a continuum of trauma-informed services for adult women survivors of commercial sexual exploitation and sex trafficking across the Chicagoland area, primarily in DuPage, Cook, and Kane counties in Illinois. Per the organization, it serves roughly half of all identified adult survivors of commercial sexual exploitation in the state. Its operating geography and program portfolio have expanded materially over the last decade: from a single DuPage County residential site in 2016 to four active program lines today.

The organization's service portfolio is structured as a four-tier continuum of care: Reside (24-hour residential care), Rise (intensive day programming operated out of The Gathering Place in downtown Wheaton), Reset (drop-in centers in Chicago and Kane County for women still in exploitation), and NH4 (independent living support for residential graduates). Access points include a 24-hour intake phone line, self-referral, and a formal screening partnership with the DuPage County Sheriff and County Jail that evaluates every arrested woman for trafficking indicators. Survivors receive therapy, trauma recovery support, life-skills training, education, job-skills training, transportation, meals, and housing support at no cost. Service delivery is led by licensed clinicians (LCSW/LMFT) and includes survivor-led roles such as a Peer Specialist Consultant.

Naomi's House is funded entirely through charitable revenue streams rather than fees for service. Sources include one-time individual donations, church partnerships (financial contributions, volunteer groups, speaking engagements), and the Hero Partner monthly giving program, which offers suggested tiers of $10 (meals), $35 (transportation), $50 (therapy), and $100 (education, career, housing support). No revenue figures, funding rounds, or major institutional grants are publicly disclosed. Marketing and donor engagement are driven by a content blog, email newsletters, Human Trafficking 101 training sessions, annual impact reports, and survivor testimonial content.
