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.

This month and next, Houston is hosting seven matches of a major international soccer tournament, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors to the region and generating an estimated $1 billion in economic impact.

It’s an exciting moment for our city as fans from around the world gather to celebrate the sport and support Team USA.

At the same time, as an organization serving survivors of human trafficking, we recognize the importance of remaining aware of the risks that can accompany large-scale international events.

On our blog, we are sharing a five important things to understand as our city hosts this summer’s matches: https://thelanding.org/blog/major-sporting-events/

The Well is a community dedicated to serving and loving the unseen through their generosity.

In Scripture (John 4), Jesus went out of His way to meet a woman at the well who was marginalized. His example of taking the time to make her feel loved and care for her needs is what we strive to accomplish each day through your support.

When you give monthly, you help sustain the everyday work happening at The Landing.

Every meal. Every counseling appointment. Every conversation. Every resource provided.

Join us at The Well to let survivors know they are seen by meeting very real needs for those walking through our Drop-In Center doors each and every day.⁠

Financial independence is a crucial part of long-term healing. 💜

Here at The Landing, one of our staff members recently launched a trauma-informed financial literacy program designed to help survivors build confidence, develop practical money management skills, and move toward long-term stability.

Through the program, participants earn incentive "money" by attending classes and events. They then have the opportunity to save their earnings or spend them at our Blush & Bloom Shop, creating a safe environment to practice budgeting, decision-making, and planning for the future.

For many survivors, economic abuse has been part of their story. Programs like this help create opportunities to reclaim independence, build new skills, and shift from surviving to thriving.

We're grateful for every creative idea our team introduces to help us effectively empower survivors and equip them for what comes next. 🙏

06/11/2026

On Friday, September 18, we'll gather for Renewed, a special evening celebrating ten years of hope, healing, and restoration at The Landing.

As we prepare for this milestone event, we're inviting businesses, organizations, and individuals to partner with us as sponsors. Sponsorship is an opportunity to support survivors, invest in the future of this work, and be recognized as part of a community committed to lasting impact.

If you'd like your name or company included on our printed invitation, sponsorship commitments must be received by June 19th.

If you're interested in sponsoring a table or sponsoring the entire event, we'd love to connect with you before the deadline.

As our city prepares to welcome a significant influx of visitors this summer for a major international soccer tournament, we are remaining vigilant as the conditions surrounding large-scale events can create a perfect storm for increased human trafficking activity within host cities.

Helping us stock our pantry is one way you can help us prepare.

Every day we're open, survivors visit our Drop-In Center seeking practical support. Snacks, frozen meals, bottled water, and hygiene supplies all help us meet immediate needs with dignity and care.

Some of our most-needed items right now include:
➡️ Granola bars
➡️ Chips & trail mix
➡️ Bottled water
➡️ Frozen meals
➡️ K-cups & coffee supplies
➡️ Baby wipes & sanitizer products

Want to easily order from our Amazon Wishlist so the items are delivered right to us? You can find the Wishlist here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1166X6RHQVQXP/ref=hz_ls_biz_ex

(We also operate a boutique where survivors in our city can access essential clothing items and undergarments. Right now, we are in need of cool, summer clothes to offer our clients, and we are also running short on small and medium sized bras and underwear.)

Every donation helps us create a welcoming space where survivors can find rest, nourishment, and care. 💜

For most kids, summer means camp and vacations. But for the resilient young people at The Landing, the heavy stressors of everyday life don’t take a summer break.

That is why our Youth Advocacy program is hosting a Summer Staycation from July 20–23.

This 4-day, camp-like experience has a simple goal: to let these deserving youth simply be kids. The days will be packed with games, arts, team-building, and mentorship—giving them a safe sanctuary to laugh, play, and make unforgettable memories. Our clients and Youth Advocates had a blast last year!

This year, we are looking for community champions to sponsor meals for this vital week. Will you help us reach our $2,000 goal so we can give our youth clients the gift of a fun, healing, and completely stress-free staycation?

Here are a few ways you can give:

1️⃣ Gift cards: We are accepting $100, $50, or $25 Visa gift cards. You can purchase them from our Amazon Wishlist here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/36MKMF039BVIC/ref=hz_ls_biz_ex

2️⃣ Custom amount: Want to contribute a custom amount? Please email [email protected], and we'll send you a direct donation link and ensure your gift is designated specifically for the Youth Staycation.

Here's what your gift could help achieve:

$200 - Covers one breakfast for all 15 participants
$300 - Covers one lunch for all 15 participants

Every dollar counts. Thank you so much for your support!

Summer can bring rest and freedom for many young people... but for others, it can also increase vulnerability.

When school structures disappear, challenges like housing instability, isolation, financial pressure, and lack of supervision can become even more significant.

These circumstances can create situations where exploitation becomes easier to hide and harder to recognize.

This is why awareness matters. Because understanding vulnerability helps communities respond with greater attentiveness, support, and care for youth who may be at risk.

Are you someone who loves organization, thrives in a structured environment, and prefers to make a massive impact without the spotlight? We need your help!

The Landing receives a steady stream of generous community donations, and we need dedicated volunteers to help us transform these piles of generosity into neatly organized, ready-to-distribute resources.

This is a 100% behind-the-scenes role with no client interaction, making it perfect for introverts, groups, or anyone who loves a satisfying "before and after" organizing project.

This would be a huge support and would make a major difference! 💜

Very soon, Houston will host seven matches of a major international soccer tournament from June 14 through July 4, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors to the region and generating an estimated $1 billion in economic impact.

It’s an exciting moment for our city as fans from around the world gather to celebrate the sport and support Team USA. At the same time, as an organization serving survivors of human trafficking, we recognize the importance of remaining aware of the risks that can accompany large-scale international events.

Research and past experience have shown that major events can increase vulnerability for individuals at risk of both labor and s*x trafficking due to heightened demand for hospitality, transportation, entertainment, and temporary labor.

Even outside of major events, Texas consistently reports one of the highest numbers of human trafficking cases in the country. As Houston prepares to welcome a significant influx of visitors this summer, community awareness and proactive prevention efforts will be especially important to help protect vulnerable individuals and support those already impacted.
