Street's Hope

Providing an escape for women in the sex for sale industry

Not everyone in the sex trade industry wants to stay there. Who is listening to them? Where do they turn? Street’s Hope works with women who want to leave the sex trade industry. It offers them a safe place to live in a healthy environment where they receive support and counseling and have opportunities to pursue training and education – to choose a different way of life and become a thriving member of their community.

            Street’s Hope is a faith-based non-profit organization created to assist women desiring to leave sexually oriented businesses. Our clients include women working in prostitution, escorting, exotic dancing, and pornography. The goal of Street’s Hope is to encourage each woman to become balanced (physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually), to be self-supporting apart from the sex for sale industry, and to become an active part of a healthy community.

Meeting Diverse Needs

The women who come to Street’s Hope suffer from a variety of issues. Whether sexual, physical or emotional abuse, substance abuse and addiction, inability to hold down a ‘real’ job…these women come into Street’s Hope with a goal of transforming their lives.

Reflecting Christ

As Christ calls us to serve “the least of these,” the mandate of Street’s Hope is to offer hope to women who feel they have had no choice but to sell their bodies to survive. By offering them safety, support and a future, Street’s Hope strives to demonstrate to the community that by serving “the least of these” they are ministering to Jesus himself.

Prayer Requests

•    Funding: Please continue to pray for funding for SH.  Funding for general operating expenses is always a need.  All our hopes to expand and improve services depend on additional funding.  Please also lift up our staff and their support needs.  Please pray specifically for our house director whose support is inadequate at this time.

•    Research Project: Please to pray for the research project that SH will be involved in over the next few months.  This involves a survey to discover available services and avoid duplicating what is already available.

•    Programming: Street's Hope is working to enhance our programming so that what we do can be duplicated and so that our staff and volunteers have the best tools possible for what they do.  Please pray that SH will be able to develop effective program while retaining our focus on God and our sensitivity to His Spirit.

•     Perseverance: Please pray that our clients and staff will find the perseverance they so desperately need each day.
