The Grants program supports individuals with past or present involvement in street prostitution in situations “where a little bit of money makes a big difference”. The Grants program is funded through the fees that the offenders pay to attend the Prostitution Offender Program.
The Grants Program assists people in their recovery and healing from the exploitation, violence, degradation, abuse and addictions associated with prostitution. It helps them deal with poverty issues that keep them entrapped or put up obstacles to their recovery.
