TEXAS

In Texas, Nomi Network focuses on Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston, critical trafficking hubs recording high numbers of cases and hotline calls.

We address core vulnerabilities, including poverty, housing instability, and systemic gaps, while actively countering digital recruitment. By integrating programs directly into schools, correctional agencies, and community centers, we reach at-risk youth and survivors immediately.

Our survivor-centered approach dismantles barriers like criminal records and economic insecurity, replacing cycles of exploitation with pathways to education, careers, and sustained independence.

Our Programs

Nomi Network’s Texas programming addresses both sides of the workforce equation, moving beyond immediate crisis intervention to create long-term economic resilience.

Individualized Case Management: Women engage in a personalized journey that pairs trauma-informed support with a comprehensive job-readiness curriculum.

Essential Skill Building: Participants develop foundational life skills, including financial literacy, self-awareness, and professional communication.

Career Navigation & Placement: Survivors are equipped to identify safe job opportunities, master interviews, and secure roles.

Retention & Growth Coaching: Ongoing coaching ensures long-term job retention and upward mobility.

Trauma-Informed Employer Training: We partner with businesses to build safe, inclusive workplaces.

Systemic Resilience: Aligning survivor readiness with employer capacity reduces re-trafficking risk and strengthens communities.
