Mission

Elijah Rising's mission is to end sex trafficking through prayer, awareness, intervention, and restoration.

990 for the year ended March 31, 2026

Program accomplishments

  • Restoration - Elijah Rising provides the full continuum of care for adult female Survivors encompassing three Safe Homes: Emergency, Long-Term, and Transitional housing in trauma-informed environments. This multi-step design is created to reduce recidivism and provide individualized care. The residential program focuses on eight dimensions of wellness: physical, emotional, spiritual, social, occupational, intellectual, financial, and environmental as a means of holistic recovery. When women enter the program, they often have no clothing or possessions, are in fear for their lives, are in dire need of medical/dental care, and are overcoming addictive behaviors. Elijah Rising meets these and many other needs at no cost to the resident. Continued on Schedule O
