$10,000 to Hope for Justice to support the opening of an investigative Hub in Tennessee with a goal of assisting law enforcement and other agencies to identify and rescue human trafficking victims throughout the state. The Hub is not a location or building, but a team of investigative staff equipped to conduct investigations independently or in concert with law enforcement.  Without the Hub, Tennesseans would continue to be served by the limited resources of law enforcement. For example, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation only has four designated human trafficking agents to serve the state. Additionally, the labor trafficking problem would remain in the shadows due to the ever-expanding focus on sex trafficking.

This grant helps offset the salary of one of the investigators.

Hope for Justice exists to bring an end to modern slavery by rescuing victims, restoring lives, and reforming society.
