Trump Administration Awards Housing Grants For Sex Trafficking Victims

Here's the story from CBS News:

The Justice Department is announcing housing assistance grants for survivors of human trafficking, which has been on the rise during the pandemic.

Administration officials have been troubled by both the uptick in cases and the coronavirus' impact on essential services for victims of modern-day slavery.

The Justice Department is announcing Tuesday it will award over $35 million in housing assistance grants to 73 non-profit organizations from 33 states across the country that provide housing and services to victims of human trafficking. The grants will allow the organizations to provide six to 24 months of transitional or short-term housing assistance to trafficking victims, including rent, utilities, and security deposits. The funding will also be used to help victims find employment, and receive job training and counseling.  

Although the grants are to be awarded to organizations through a merit-based system, senior administration officials say there are "no limitations" when it comes to which survivors are eligible to receive the housing assistance, including non-citizens.  

"They're treating everybody who comes through the door, " a senior official told CBS News.

Over the next four years, the Trump administration plans to establish a national network of housing for human trafficking survivors. If victims need to testify in state where they were trafficked, for instance, they would have a safe place to stay where they can continue to receive specialized services."

It's ironic how the Liberal SJWs in Hollywood won't celebrate such an important action for the victims of these terrible crimes. 

Seems like half of them spent years partying on Epstein's Pedo Island or going to dinner parties with Harvey Weinstein.
