From our headquarters, Case Managers provide children 24-hour services, 7 days a week. We rescue youth from pimps, help with medical services, public health insurance, social security/disability benefits, maternity housing, drug program placement, domestic violence housing, transportation, mental health services, psychiatric evaluations or access to psychotropic medications, advocacy with the courts, social workers, probation officers, resume preparation, job placement, access to vocational or trade schools or community colleges, applications for FAFSA (federally funded financial aid)—we are ready and willing to help.
Young sex trafficking victims and children at risk often miss out on social programs available to them because they are unaware of what is available and are easily frustrated by the tedious applications required to access these programs. Our Case Managers are well-versed in the intricacies of the system and can provide step-by-step directions to ease the process. They provide application assistance, appointment reminders, accompany youth to appointments and even arrange transportation if needed. Our case managers are available every step of the way. Without this constant support and encouragement, these children will remain on the streets.
In 2023, Children of the Night Case Managers provided 4,516 Services to 391 prostituted youth nationwide.
Services ranged from food, medical, emergency transportation all the way to placement in vocational schools, trade schools and colleges.
Our work takes prostituted youth from the streets to the board room.
Since our meager beginnings in 1979 we have helped over 12,000 prostituted youth right here in the United States and we continue our 70% - 80% success rate.
