This award made to The Montgomery Area Family Violence Program, Inc., is funded under FY 2020 Enhanced Collaborative Model Task Force to Combat Human Trafficking which is designed to address the need to establish consistent statewide training, enforcement, and reporting, as well as provide comprehensive victims services by identifying additional partners for collaboration in the development and implementations of consistent training, development of a statewide response for human trafficking cases, formalizing a referral process to provide comprehensive services for human trafficking victims, and develop a consistent data-gathering method. Indeed, developing a statewide task force with stakeholders within the law enforcement community, service provider community, and local community leaders will provide a cohesive entity that can centralize efforts and be a resource to combat human trafficking throughout the state.
