Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2018, $375,000)

The purpose of the FY 2018 Enhanced Collaborative Model Task Force To Combat Human Trafficking program is to assist communities in developing effective and sustainable multidisciplinary task forces that will implement victim-centered and coordinated approaches to identifying victims of sex and labor trafficking, addressing the individualized needs of victims through services, and investigating and prosecuting sex and labor trafficking cases (as well as the purchasers of commercial sex) at the local, state, tribal, and federal levels.

With this award, the Susannah Wesley Community Center will work in partnership with the City and County of Honolulu Department of the Prosecuting Attorney to develop and enhance the Honolulu County Human Trafficking Task Force. This task force will implement project activities within the City and County of Honolulu, Hawaii over a three-year project period.
