 We empower survivors of sex trafficking and prostitution to build new lives through safe housing, direct services, effective healing programs, survivor advocacy, worldwide policy change, and hope.  


"The single greatest barrier to escaping sex trafficking and prostitution is a lack of safe housing."  - Terry Forliti


Breaking Free is currently the only survivor-led provider of housing services to victims of sex trafficking and their children in Minnesota. We provide a week-day Drop-In Center and permanent supportive housing for 34 family units. 


In 2019, Breaking Free opened the only survivor-led emergency shelter specifically for victims of sex trafficking and prostitution in Minnesota.
