Children of the Night Case Management

Most people do not understand that access to long-term programs requires essential documents and there is an order to obtaining each document. First the birth certificate requiring an application and a check, secondly a social security card which requires an application and an in-person appointment in the social security office then Government Identification requiring both an application and in-person appointment in the DMV. Some DMV offices require proof of residency and enrollment in high school. These barriers cannot be overcome without the support of trained case management staff to help identify records to substantiate residency.

These basic requirements as well as others must be met prior to placement in independent living and transitional housing programs (both often require a job and enrollment in college), maternity homes (requiring a doctor’s appointment and proof of pregnancy), detox programs (which often require public health insurance) and sober living (which requires completion of detox program).

We successfully move sex trafficking victims from the streets to stabilization and placement in jobs, special educational schools, trade schools, vocational schools and community colleges.

Our case managers are skilled at accessing public health insurance and Social Security Benefits as well as navigating the bureaucratic process for placement in Independent Living, Transitional Housing, Maternity Homes and Substance Abuse programs nationwide.

In 2020, we helped 412 young people escape prostitution throughout America. 65% were between 13 and 24 years of age and 325 were female but 79 were male and 8 transgender.  They represented African Americans, Latinos, Caucasian and Bi Racial respectively.  They were referred by other programs, parents, social workers, the internet and former youth clients.
