Created Women Inc

CREATED IS A NON-PROFIT, NON-DENOMINATIONAL CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION COMMITTED TO THE RESTORATION OF VULNERABLE WOMEN INVOLVED IN THE SEX INDUSTRY TO AN UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR VALUE, BEAUTY, AND DESTINY IN JESUS CHRIST.

A MAJOR COMPONENT OF CREATED'S WORK IS OUR RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY, THE SANCTUARY. HERE WE PROVIDE THE ASSISTANCE RESIDENTS NEED TO ACHIEVE SUCCESSFUL OUTCOMES. THE WOMEN WHO QUALIFY FOR THIS ARE OVER THE AGE OF 18 AND HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE SEX INDUSTRY IN THE PAST 2 YEARS. IN 2021 WE HAD 15 WOMEN PARTICIPATE IN THE SANCTUARY PROGRAM, WITH 74% SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING THAT PROGRAM. SINCE OPENING IN 2008, THE SANCTUARY HAS SERVED OVER 225 WOMEN BY OFFERING THEM A SAFE HOME, AND PROVIDING RESOURCES FOR THEM TO MOVE FORWARD. 62% OF OUR TOTAL ALUMNI ARE STILL IN RECOVERY AND STABLE.

CREATED PLACE IS A REFUGE FOR WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN SEXUALLY EXPLOITED. THERE ARE 2 BUILDINGS ON OUR MAIN PROPERTY. DURING 2021THE MAIN BUILDING WAS USED TO HOUSE OUR DROP IN CENTER (DESCRIBED BELOW) AND ALSO WAS AN OFFICE SPACE FOR OUR STAFF TEAM. OUR STAFF TEAM INCLUDES A PROGRAM TEAM THAT SERVES THE WOMEN IN OUR PROGRAMS, AND ALSO AN ADMIN TEAM THAT OVERSEES AND CONDUCTS OUR OPERATIONS. IN TOTAL FOR 2021 WE HAD 17 STAFF MEMBERS THAT RANGED IN POSITION, AND INCLUDED SOME TRANSITION. OUR TEAM HAS A TOTAL OF 11 POSITIONS IN OUR ORGANIZATIONAL CHART. WE ALSO USED THIS BUILDING AS A MEETING SPACE FOR CLASSES, CELEBRATIONS AND OTHER COMMUNITY MEETINGS.THE OTHER BUILDING ON THIS MAIN PROPERTY HAS 5 UNITS, 2 UNITS SERVE AS APARTMENTS FOR WOMEN WHO HAVE GRADUATED FROM OUR PROGRAMS. IN 2021, THESE APARTMENTS SERVED 2 WOMEN WITH LONG TERM, INCOME BASED HOUSING. HERE THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GROW AND GAIN INDEPENDENCE WITHIN A RECOVERED CENTERED COMMUNITY. WE ALSO HOUSE WOMEN IN OUR ANCHOR PROGRAM IN ONE OF THE APARTMENT UNITS (DESCRIBED BELOW). IN 2021 WE TRANSITIONED ONE UNIT INTO WHAT IS NOW OUR JOB TRAINING PROGRAM THAT WE CALL CREATED ACADEMY (DESCRIBED BELOW). THE LAST UNIT SERVES AS A CONFERENCE ROOM AND MEETING SPACE.

UNDER OUR SAFE HOUSING PROGRAM, WE PARTNER WITH HOTEL LOCATIONS THAT WE USE FOR CRISIS INTERVENTION AND WHEN THERE IS A NEED FOR AN IMMEDIATE SAFE BED. OUR GOAL IN THIS HOUSING IS TO ONLY HOUSE THEM THERE FOR 1-3 DAYS, ALLOWING THE CASE MANAGER TO CHECK IN WITH THEM DAILY, AND SUPPLY GROCERIES, OTHER MEALS, CLOTHING, AND TOILETRIES. THIS HOTEL ROOM GIVES US TIME TO EITHER GET A BED AVAILABLE IN ONE OF OUR HOUSING PROGRAMS OR TO FIND A BED WITH ANOTHER AGENCY. WE ALSO KNOW THAT WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH BED CAPACITY TO HOUSE ALL THE WOMEN OVER 18 WHO NEED SERVICES, SO WE ALSO HAVE PARTNERSHIPS THAT ALLOW US TO TRANSFER RESIDENTS FROM SAFE HOUSING INTO LONGER-TERM PROGRAMS EASIER. ABOUT 1/3 OF THE SAFE HOUSING RESIDENTS CHOOSE TO START LOOKING FOR STABLE HOUSING AND INCOME, WE HELP THEM FIND EMPLOYMENT AND ACCESS JOB TRAINING. 68% OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO ENTER OUR SAFE HOUSING PROGRAMS, EXIT INTO SAFE HOUSING THAT LOOKS LIKE: A LONG-TERM PROGRAM, INDEPENDENT HOUSING, OR RETURNING TO FAMILY MEMBERS THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS SAFE.
