A ROBUST FORCE FOR JUSTICE,
DIGNITY AND COMMUNITY
Red Oak Hope began in 2012 in response to the needs of one woman who experienced economic hardship, fraud, and exploitation that led to her being trafficked far from home. What started as a response to one woman’s need has grown into holistic programs and partnerships committed to restoration, dignity, and lasting independence for survivors of human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
WHAT WE DO
At Red Oak Hope, we partner with survivors of trafficking and sexual exploitation on a journey toward safety, healing, and independence. Through supportive housing, advocacy, and community collaboration, we address exploitation at its roots and foster lasting restoration grounded in trust, dignity, and hope.
Healing starts with safety and support. We meet survivors where they are, help them identify their needs, and connect them to resources that provide stability and hope. Leaving exploitation is only the first step; real healing takes time, trust, and consistent care. Through a supportive community and practical guidance, survivors build confidence, life skills, and resilience. Learn more about our programs that provide support for survivors as they move toward lasting freedom below.
SUPPORTIVE HOUSING
Red Oak Hope’s Supportive Housing Program provides up to two years of safe, rent-free housing for adult women survivors of sex trafficking and sexual exploitation.
RESTORE
Restore is a therapeutic and supportive program designed to help survivors of human trafficking and sexual exploitation engage in their healing journey and develop and build the skills needed for independent living.
COMMUNITY BASED SUPPORT
Our non-residential program focuses on two critical aspects of walking with survivors of trafficking and exploitation: short-term crisis intervention and stabilization, as well as long-term, relational, and individualized support for survivors living in the community.
Our headquarters are in Austin, TX and we provide direct services in Central Texas.

OUR CORE VALUES
DIGNITY
We honor the dignity, privacy, and agency of every individual and seek to honestly communicate the nuance involved in the issues of trafficking, abuse, and exploitation, refusing to oversensationalize, oversimplify, or overshare.
SUSTAINABILITY
We prioritize the sustainability of clients, staff, and programs, encouraging self-sufficiency and resilience among clients, the long-term development of staff, and continually evaluating and improving programs and processes.
SPIRITUALITY
We are motivated by Christian faith and belief in God’s heart for justice and restoration, and we are inclusive and honoring of people of all beliefs in all aspects of our work.
COLLABORATION
We believe in the power of partnership and seek to collaborate with a diverse group of stakeholders in order to combat the complex issues that cause human trafficking, abuse, and exploitation.
HOLISTIC CARE
We believe that lasting restoration happens when support is connected, coordinated, and centered on the whole person. This commitment shapes how we serve clients, operate as a team, and engage the broader community.
