Groundbreaking at Gigi's House

ATLANTA - Rezul -- HomeAid Atlanta broke ground on a new home for nonprofit Gigi's House in Clayton County on April 23. Gigi's House is dedicated to serving girls ages 13-19 who are victims of sex trafficking, providing a safe home in a faith-based loving environment, trauma-informed therapy, home school, mentoring, life skills, and more.

The new ten-bedroom home will provide a safe and dignified environment for teen girls seeking refuge at Gigi's House, escaping the horrors of sex trafficking. A Builder Captain who has chosen to remain anonymous leads construction for this important project. The new home is part of an expansion at Gigi's House that will also include three additional homes for girls as well as an administrative and school building, which will be the third building on the site.  The admin/school building, which is currently in development with HomeAid and Builder Captain Meritage Homes, will serve up to 50 girls once all the homes are built.

At the April 23 groundbreaking, Sabrina Crawford, Gigi's House Founder and CEO remarked, "This occasion is bittersweet. We so appreciate your help, but we wish there was not such a great need for more space. Since we opened up in May 2018, we've served 80 girls, some as young as twelve years old, who have been victims of sex trafficking. Those are the girls we serve, and those are the girls you are helping by being here today." Other speakers at the ceremony included Georgia State Senator Brian Strickland, Community Bible Church Director of Women's Ministry Amy Davis, HomeAid Atlanta Executive Director Mandy Crater, and HomeAid Board President Lori Rousseau.
