BELOVED is proud to announce we have been awarded Gold Certification from Safe House Project.

Safe House Project is a national organization that sets and evaluates standards for residential programs serving survivors of human trafficking. Their certification process is comprehensive and independent — assessing clinical care, survivor rights and safety, trauma-informed practices, governance, financial sustainability, crisis response, and program outcomes. Gold Certification is awarded to programs that meet and exceed national best practices across all of these domains. It is not a credential that is awarded lightly. It required months of rigorous documentation, independent review, and a site visit by a Certification Specialist and Lived Experience Expert. For BELOVED, this process was also one of strengthening — tightening protocols, deepening clinical systems, and affirming that the care we provide is not only compassionate but structurally sound, data-informed, and built for the long term. “Achieving Gold Certification is a meaningful affirmation of BELOVED’s commitment to trauma-informed, survivor-centered care that honors the dignity, courage, and resilience of the women we serve. Survivors deserve excellence — programming rooted in clinical depth, compassionate structure, and long-term restoration. We are deeply grateful for Safe House Project’s thoughtful and rigorous certification process, which strengthens and elevates the quality of care across the anti-trafficking field.” We are grateful to our entire team, whose daily work made this possible, and to the donors and partners who resource this mission.
