While in-shelter, residents receive services specifically designed to meet their needs, address the harm caused by the trafficking, and move them toward recovery and self-­efficacy. With our partners, we provide stabilizing services for the duration of their stay (health care, mental and chemical health services, education engagement/support, advocacy, and family reunification when appropriate). As residents transition out of Brittany's Place, we make referrals and discharges/placements specific to each resident's needs, in order to continue the care begun in-shelter. 
 
This new, state-of-the-art shelter was designed with input and feedback from victims/survivors of sex trafficking. There are six designated single-bed rooms and two three-bed rooms; two private, full bathrooms; a private entrance and intake conference room; laundry facilities; an open floor plan with kitchen/preparation island that serves as an arts and crafts center; a living room/lounge area; work spaces for homework and/or employment assistance; a separate group meeting room; and spaces featuring an abundance of natural light.

​Brittany’s Place is named after Brittany Charise Clardy (June 29, 1994 – February 11, 2013), a young St. Paul woman who was murdered by a sexual predator. On February 11, 2013, Brittany left her home and never returned. The community was devastated, and her family established The Brittany Clardy Foundation to promote awareness against violence.
