What corrie's house does

Corrie's House is a Minnesota-based nonprofit founded in 2017 that operates a long-term residential care program for youth ages 12-17 who have experienced sexual exploitation and trafficking. It is described as the first facility of its kind in the Twin Cities region. The organization's core offering is a 6-bed residential home delivering trauma-informed care, individual and group therapy, education support, life skills development, healthy-relationships programming, case management, and individualized empowerment planning. The model is holistic rather than technological — services are delivered by a small team (Executive Director, Program Director, Program Manager, Case Manager) supported by volunteers across therapy, housing, fundraising, communications, and finance functions. The residential facility officially opened in December 2025 after approximately eight years of planning, home acquisition, and DHS state licensing; all six beds were filled and 10 youth served within the first six months of operation.

The business model is donor-dependent rather than revenue-generating: services are provided at no cost to youth participants, and the organization is funded through a mix of individual donations (one-time and the tiered Founders Club monthly giving program), corporate and faith-based sponsorships, private foundation and government grants, and fundraising events such as the annual Restoration Gala held at the Radisson Blu Mall of America. In 2024 the organization raised $400,000 against stated objectives and educated 1,000 adults and youth on exploitation prevention. Disclosed large gifts include $100,000 from Woodbury Lutheran Church (January 2026) and $10,000 from Power of 100 Women - Greater Stillwater (October 2024). The organization holds a GuideStar Transparency Seal (profile 82-1188037) and lists the Minnesota Nonprofit Association as a partner.

The go-to-market motion is community-led: awareness, volunteer recruitment, and fundraising are driven through the corrieshouse.org website, a monthly email newsletter, an active Instagram presence, community education sessions, and annual events. Distribution of services is direct, via residential admission of referred youth within a regional (Midwest) footprint. The technology stack is limited to standard nonprofit tooling (Kindful for donations, Bloomerang/Mailchimp for email, Squarespace for the website) with no proprietary technology products, no app, and no disclosed AI or data capabilities. The founder-leader (Executive Director Renee Boehme) is in a planned transition back to board governance as of 2026, with a new Executive Director search open through July 31, 2026.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Polaris Project: Large national anti-trafficking organization operating the National Human Trafficking Hotline and systemic intervention programs. Comparable mission area but with a much wider, policy- and data-driven portfolio that dwarfs Corrie's House's local residential focus.
• National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC): Large national nonprofit providing resources and recovery services for missing and exploited children, including hotline and case support. Overlaps with Corrie's House on the exploited-children segment but operates at a vastly larger scale and with a different service model.
• Thorn: Nonprofit that builds technology and tools to fight child sexual exploitation, with a brand-led fundraising model similar to Corrie's House. Mission is adjacent (exploitation of minors) but the delivery mechanism (tech, research, advocacy) differs from residential care.
• Shared Hope International: Established national anti-trafficking organization focused on prevention, policy, and survivor services, including shelter providers. Broader scope than Corrie's House but overlapping on youth sex trafficking prevention and survivor support, making it an industry incumbent reference point.

Emerging players

• Allies Against Slavery: Nonprofit focused on survivor-centered, technology-enabled anti-trafficking work, including collaboration with shelter and residential providers. Comparable in scale and mission overlap, with a more tech- and partnership-oriented model than Corrie's House.

Direct peers

• Courtney's House: Washington D.C.-area nonprofit providing direct services and residential/transitional support to survivors of sex trafficking, including minors. Closely comparable mission and trauma-informed residential model to Corrie's House, though operating in a different metro.
• Safe House Project: National nonprofit focused on expanding the network of safe houses for sex trafficking survivors, including youth, and operating its own residential capacity. Directly comparable in residential service model and survivor-focused mission, with a national expansion orientation.
• REST (Real Escape from the Sex Trade): Seattle-based organization offering residential and non-residential services to survivors of the sex trade, including minors and young adults. Comparable trauma-informed service model and referral-driven intake, with a broader program portfolio than Corrie's House.
• Selah Freedom: Florida-based nonprofit running residential programs specifically for survivors of sex trafficking and exploitation, with safe houses and outreach. Operates a directly comparable model of long-term residential care plus community education, but at greater scale and across multiple sites.
• Gems Uncovered: Nonprofit providing support, advocacy, and residential pathways for survivors of sex trafficking, with a particular focus on women and youth. Similar mission and service mix (shelter, case management, education) to Corrie's House, though a different geographic footprint.
