Graduate Village
Welcome! This page is designed for those who have been referred to apply for the housing opportunity at the Graduate Village!
The Graduate Village is a transitional housing community. The purpose of the Graduate Village is to provide a safe, residential environment for Wellspring Living women and their children for up to 3 years.
Wellspring Living provides services to women who are survivors and/or at-risk of domestic sex trafficking and/or sexual exploitation. The goal of this housing opportunity is for women to have emotional, spiritual, and financial peace. While residing at the Graduate Village women will have access to life coaching from the Community Coordinator; an opportunity to participate in community projects, connect with local churches; and receive a reduced rent per month. Half of the residents rent each month goes into a savings account which allows the women to save upon completion of the three-year residency.
