Trump Administration to Announce $35 Million Housing Grant for Trafficking Victims

The White House on Tuesday will announce a $35 million grant to help fund housing grants for victims of human trafficking.

The grants will be delivered by the Office for Victims of Crime, a component of the Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs. They will go to 73 different organizations across the country that offer housing assistance, transitional housing, and housing cost assistance.

“Shelter is the number one most requested service for all crisis cases on the national human trafficking hotline,” a senior administration official told reporters in a briefing including Breitbart News.
