The Home Free program reunites youth with their family or legal guardian or helps them get to an alternative living arrangement (ALA), such as a community-based transitional living program, through a free bus ticket. Home Free works in collaboration with youth, parents and guardians, law enforcement, anti-trafficking organizations, social service, health care providers, and others to ensure youth who are victims of labor and sex trafficking benefit from reuniting with caring adults or getting an alternative living program.
ELIGIBILITY AND RESTRICTIONSYouth must be between the ages of 12 and 21 and self-identify as homeless, runaway,s or a victim of human trafficking. Youths must agree to complete the necessary steps to obtain a ticket through the Home Free program. On occasion, parents, guardians, or another adult family member designated by the parent or guardian may also receive a round-trip ticket to travel to the youth’s location, so they can accompany the youth home.
