What We Do and Why

Hope Rising is a 501c3 nonprofit organization and licensed Texas Child Placing Agency dedicated to the rescue and restoration of minors rescued from human sex trafficking.

What We Do

We provide a specialized trauma-informed continuum of care from rescue and emergency assessment and long term specialized foster care to transitional living and continued support after a child turns 18. 

Who We Serve

We serve children who have suffered sexual trauma and/or exploitation and specialize in helping survivors of human sex trafficking.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide long-term care and recovery for minor children who have been rescued from human sex trafficking and exploitation. Hope Rising is committed to instilling hope, offering a future to these minors, and fostering wholeness and healing.

Our Location

Headquartered in Houston, we serve counties within a 150-mile radius of our office.  We prefer to develop foster homes in areas that provide access to stables used for equine assisted therapy.

Long Term Commitment

Hope Rising believes strongly in long-term, committed relationships being key to the success of the minors they work with. Foster families are a significant piece of the puzzle, therefore Hope Rising invests heavily in the training and ongoing support of our foster care network.

Teaching, Training & Equipping

Education and awareness are key to preventing human sex trafficking. Hope Rising provides certification training to foster parents, caregivers, law enforcement, bio-parents and mentors ensuring that all will have the tools needed to address the child’s trauma and achieve lasting results.
