Recovery | Off The Streets

HER Cincinnati's Off the Streets program guides women on a pathway to reclaim their lives through our trauma-informed addictions recovery services, open to all women in the greater CIncinnnati community and specializing in treatment for surviors of human trafficking in our award-winning program.

Over the past 17 years, HER Cincinnati has built pathways to safety and sobriety for more than 1,500 survivors of human trafficking. In a recent evaluation of our recovery services, clients shared: “Staff has been where we’ve been and they get us,” “opens new doors, second chances, gives hope for the future,” “This is a place to call home and start over.” Between 2016 and 2019, Off the Streets was evaluated by a government research entity [1] and is now frequently sought out by other organizations seeking guidance in establishing services. Over the past five years (2018-22), 384 unduplicated clients participated in Off the Streets. Of this total, 279 clients (72%) achieved stable housing after program graduation.  

[1] In 2016, Off the Streets was awarded one of 13 three-year demonstration grants by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Trafficking in Persons.
