The Landing - Houston

The Landing - Houston The Landing is a nonprofit serving survivors of human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation The Landing grew in services, partners, and impact.

The Landing started as a dream to reach survivors who were slipping through the cracks. Inspired by their faith, our founders desired to increase victim identification and connect more victims with support and services. Their hope was to create a safe space for survivors, regardless of whether they are ready to leave their situation. In January 2016, we opened our doors as the first and only drop-

in center for trafficking survivors in Houston. We were amazed by the community response, and in our first three years we served over 500 survivors! We sought new ways to reach survivors—through outreach to the Bissonnet Track, at court, in prison, and among at-risk populations throughout Houston. We also began educating the community through presentations to churches, schools, and businesses. One of the most pressing needs we saw in Houston was more support for younger victims of sex trafficking. In response, we launched our youth advocacy program in 2020 to encourage healing, empowerment, and self-sufficiency in sexually exploited children and youth. As we grow and serve more survivors, our aim ultimately is to love people the way Jesus does. We seek to meet people where they are, honor their inherent dignity and worth, and walk alongside them on their journey.

Every student deserves to walk through the school doors on day one feeling ready, excited, and equal to their peers. But for survivors of human trafficking and their families, the high cost of back-to-school shopping can be an overwhelming barrier.

This year, we want to make sure every survivor and child in our community has exactly what they need to succeed. If we can raise a total of $2,000, we'll be able to do just that!

Will you partner with us today to give survivors and their kids the clothing, supplies, and confidence they need to succeed this upcoming school year?

Just select "Back to School" when you donate, and 100% of your gift will go to this need! Give today: https://thelanding.org/give/

Our Youth Advocacy team recently hosted a staycation for the incredible young people we serve. 💜

It was a blast! Together, they made cookies from scratch, played fun games, decorated water bottles, enjoyed some sweet treats, and made many meaningful memories.

While these moments may seem small, they matter deeply. For youth who have experienced trauma, having opportunities to build healthy relationships, experience joy, and create new memories can be a crucial part of the healing journey.

These moments remind them that they are more than what they've been through and that they deserve spaces where they can simply be kids.

We're so grateful for every member of our Youth Advocacy team who worked so hard to put this together, and for the opportunities we have to create experiences that foster connection, belonging, and hope.

And we're so honored to stand alongside every supporter who makes work like this possible! Your generosity is making a significant difference in the lives of survivors every single day.

Today is World Day Against Trafficking in Persons.

Human trafficking is often misunderstood as something that happens somewhere else, to someone else.

The reality is that it exists in communities across the world, including right here in Houston. Every single day.

Awareness is an important first step, but it isn't the final one. It grows into action when we learn the signs, have conversations that help protect those around us, support organizations serving survivors, and refuse to ignore what too often remains hidden.

Creating a future free from exploitation takes ALL of us. Every conversation, every act of generosity, every hour spent volunteering, every advocacy effort, and every survivor met with compassion moves us one step closer.

Today is a great day to move off the sidelines, and let your awareness lead you to action. We'd love to stand alongside you as we continue this important work together. 💜

Every day, our team has the blessing of seeing how The Landing serves as a lifeline for the courageous survivors of human trafficking we serve here in Houston.

Some days, that looks like responding to survivors in the midst of a crisis. Other days, it means doing the steady, often unseen work of helping our clients work towards long-term stability.

No matter what each day brings, we’re constantly reminded of one truth: the need here in Houston is significant and growing. We’re equally reminded of how grateful we are for a community that continues to step up and make this work possible.

In our latest article, read one recent story from one of our Case Managers of what a day may hold here at The Landing: https://thelanding.org/blog/casey-story/

"I have so many stories that have stuck with me over the past year working at The Landing. It’s really hard to put into words what this job is really like because every day is different. You never know what’s going to walk through our doors.

I work as the Phase 1 Case Manager, which means all of my clients are in crisis. Some are still being actively trafficked, while others have just left the life and are starting over with nothing as they try to piece their lives back together.

One story that immediately comes to mind is about a 20-year-old woman who escaped her trafficker when she decided to make a run for it..."

Have you been thinking about attending the Renewed Gala? Invite a few friends, family members, coworkers, or your small group and share a table together!

Here's one of the best parts: You don't have to cover the entire sponsorship yourself. When you register your table as a pledge, you can split the cost among your guests and our system even allows you to make payments over time in the way that works best for your group.

We'd love to celebrate with you on September 18 as we commemorate 10 years of The Landing’s mission to walk alongside survivors as they rebuild their lives. Renewed is a celebration of lives restored, hope renewed, and the promise that God is still at work. Join us as we honor all He has done and look ahead with confidence to what is still to come. 💜

When Jordan* first connected with our services, she was experiencing homelessness with a goal of graduating high school. Through her determination and hard work, she not only reached that goal but also became actively involved in a coalition supporting individuals experiencing homelessness.

Today, Jordan has been accepted into college and is currently attending classes while continuing to stay involved in several groups that serve the homeless community.

As she approached this new season of life, generous donors empowered us to resource her with a brand new laptop, backpack, notebooks, and pencils/pens. What a gift this was!

This is such a great example of the difference that your generosity can make. 💜 Every single day, we are supporting and empowering youth and adult survivors of human trafficking through our Drop-In Center and wrap-around services.

“Everything I am doing right now is about breaking generational cycles and creating a different future for my family. I truly believe I am becoming an example of resilience, rebuilding, and transformation.” - Nina*

For the past decade, The Landing has been a place of consistency for survivors of trafficking rebuilding their lives after exploitation and trafficking. And what we know is this: healing happens in relationship, transformation takes time, and showing up again and again is what makes it possible.

A massive, heartfelt thank you to Lena's Asian Kitchen for providing an absolutely incredible meal for survivors at The Landing. 💜

They treated everyone to a delicious spread of banh mi sandwiches, chicken, tofu & veggies, and fried rice.

For individuals healing from human trafficking, a warm, comforting meal is a powerful reminder that they are seen, valued, and supported by their community. Their kindness brought so much comfort and bright smiles to our space.

We are very grateful—our hearts (and bellies) are so full!

Truth: Trafficking is often a slow, calculated process of grooming and manipulation.⁠
⁠
It often starts with trust—a trafficker posing as a friend, romantic partner, or even a family member who slowly gains control. ⁠
⁠
Grooming can even happen online through social media, gaming platforms, or phone communication, and relies on emotional connection and psychological coercion, not force.⁠
⁠
Understanding this truth helps us recognize the warning signs earlier and protect vulnerable individuals before exploitation begins. ⁠
