The SAFE Alliance (SAFE: Stop Abuse for Everyone) is a longstanding nonprofit service provider located in Austin, TX. Among other services, its CARES program for trafficking survivors offers a drop-in center, case management, advocacy, and 24/7 crisis response for survivors. The drop in center offers a safe and supportive space where survivors can connect with peers and staff—many of whom bring lived experience—while accessing basic needs, therapeutic services, personalized safety planning, and opportunities for healing through joy-based activities, groups, and community-building.

The Supervised Independent Living (SIL) program at SAFE supports young adults (ages 18–21) in extended foster care as they transition toward independence. SAFE SIL offers both “non-college dorm” and apartment settings where participants receive a monthly stipend, basic needs, furnished living space, on-site case management, and access to therapeutic supports. This minimally supervised environment allows young people to practice living independently while receiving individualized supports such as financial literacy, employment and education planning, access to healing, and connection to safe, supportive adults and community.
