Minnesota's largest program for youth experiencing sex trafficking

What is Brittany's Place?
​
Brittany's Place opened in 2014 as Minnesota's first and largest shelter and program for youth experiencing sex trafficking or at risk for sex trafficking. Over a decade, 180 Degrees expanded the services at Brittany's Place beyond emergency shelter. Today Transitional Living Programs offer residential stays up to 18-months, improving housing stability.

"My life has changed since I came to Brittany's Place. I never trusted anyone...but here, staff have my back. I'm in a much better place."
 
"I've been to Brittany's Place three times. At first, I was just tired and angry. But, they welcomed me back, and by the third time, I was ready to make some changes. My advice: Don't hesitate to call them."

Brittany’s Place is named after Brittany Charise Clardy (June 29, 1994 – February 11, 2013). Brittany grew up in St. Paul, surrounded by a strong family and community. She attended St. Paul public schools and as a high school student and was employed by the local rec center. She enjoyed a wide circle of friends and had a bright future ahead. 

Despite having a solid family and community, Brittany was groomed by a sex trafficker. On February 11, 2013, she was murdered in a sex trafficking incident. Brittany's family and the community were devastated at the loss of their daughter, sister, friend, and colleague. 
A connection brought Brittany's mother to 180 Degrees just as the organization was preparing to open its shelter for youth engaged in sex trafficking--the first in the state. Together, they agreed to name the shelter after Brittany Clardy. 

Brittany's spirit inspires all who enter the doors of Brittany's Place, touching girls in residence, staff who provide front-line care, and donors who provide invaluable support. Brittany's Place has evolved from a single emergency shelter achieving national recognition for its continuum of trauma responsive services, specific to the needs of youth and sex trafficking.
