The FLITE Center (FLITE), a Broward County, Florida 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, proposes Eagles’ Landing to ensure safe, stable housing and holistic services for 20 young adult victims of human trafficking ages 18 to 30 years old in Broward County.  Eagles’ Landing will integrate short-term housing rental and/or financial assistance with comprehensive supportive services to empower young adult victims of human trafficking. Eagles’ Landing, a victim-centered, empowerment and strengths-based, trauma-informed, culturally relevant, and survivor-driven program, will utilize evidence-supported interventions to provide services for young adult victims of human trafficking.
