Testimonials
Ho’ola Na Pua, Hawaii
"The NTSA is an incredible connector and resource. The collaborative space provided to exchange information with national partners has been invaluable, especially being geographically more isolated. Through round tables, webinars, and training tools specific to trafficking programs, we have had the ability to sharpen our skills and usher in elevated service delivery for our clients."
OneVoiceHome, Texas
"The membership that OneVoiceHome has with the NTSA is invaluable. Scripture tells us that "iron sharpens iron" and we truly believe that the NTSA makes us sharper. We are stretched, gain knowledge, and receive true wisdom from those in the Alliance. The NTSA pushes us, at OVH, to be the best version of ourselves and provide quality care to survivors."
Thistle Farms, Tennessee
"Thistle Farms has partnered with NTSA since 2019! We value their rigor and dedication to help survivors of human trafficking. They are always ready with resources or words of encouragement. We love NTSA!”
NTSA Reports and Presentations
"Need to Knows" About Being an ARS Receiving Agency
May 2021
The Alliance Referral System (ARS) connects survivors with residential services all across the country, but what should you expect when receiving one of our referrals? This training will provide special insight for receiving agencies to better understand the survivor and survivor advocate experience when going through the referral process. We’ll also discuss how we, as the service-provider community, can work together to better serve survivors as they seek out and begin a residential program.

2020 ARS Year-End Report
March 2021
Created over two years ago, the Alliance Referral System (ARS) works to meet this goal by providing a simplified method for survivor advocates and front-line responders to connect survivors to shelter programs that meet their needs.
2020 was a historic year for the field of anti-trafficking, residential services, and the ARS Program. In light of the record number of referrals facilitated by our team this year, we want to share some of what we learned about survivors, those helping survivors find housing, and residential programs. This report
shares how ARS works, a summary of the data we've collected from referrals, and a look at what is to come in 2021.

2021 Vision for NTSA
March 2021
On March 11th, NTSA hosted a virtual round table presentation! A lot has happened since we launched, so we want to provide you with a few powerful stories about how our programs are supporting organizations serving survivors of trafficking and exploitation. NTSA staff were excited to share with you: how we have reached 500 referrals through ARS, the launch of our Accreditation program, a sneak peak of Sheltered Conference 2021!
Contributions to the 2021 Trafficking In Persons Report
February 2021
The National Trafficking Sheltered Alliance in partnership with Thistle Farms joined together to highlight the impact of agencies serving survivors of trafficking and exploitation through the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings* were then submitted for the 2021 Trafficking In Persons Report. It is because of these agencies, and so many others, that survivors were able to seek and receive services throughout the country despite the continued implications of COVID-19.

Landscape of Human Trafficking
January 2021
On December 9, 2020 NTSA hosted a roundtable discussion with partners and leaders in the field of anti-trafficking and exploitation. NTSA recognizes that not all industries were represented at the discussion strictly due to the time constraints. The intent of the roundtable was to discuss the landscape of human trafficking in 2020 due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as what to expect in 2021.
