COMPREHENSIVE CAMPAIGN
A Dream
Lovely Village began as a prayer
Began as a dream
Began in the hearts of Survivors.
-Emily Mills
Safe Housing
Lovely Village believes in safe and secure housing. Once completed, Lovely Village will offer fully furnished living spaces for women and their children and group living environments for singles.
Stable Community
Motivated by a “Love Your Neighbor” approach to community, we offer outreaches to strip clubs in Central Texas, support groups and next steps services.
Living Wage Jobs
Survivor Made. Survivor Paid.
Meaningful employment leading to financial freedom is instrumental in the healing journey. Our social enterprise provides jobs for women survivors and revenue for our mission. Every product is survivor made and survivor paid. Our work therapy program provides jobs for survivors of sexual exploitation and trafficking, giving opportunity for upward economic mobility.
We are a trauma-informed work environment that creates a space for belonging and healing.
Sustainable Success
Research shows that five years post graduation of a program like Lovely Village, 78% of graduates maintain stable housing and employment.
