Federal Strategic Action Plan
The Departments of Justice (DOJ), Health and Human Services (HHS), and Homeland Security (DHS) co-chaired the development of the Federal Strategic Action Plan on Services to Victims of Human Trafficking in the United States. The five-year plan was released in 2014 and seeks to:
- Align efforts by promoting strategic and coordinated services for victims at the federal, regional, state, territorial, tribal and local levels
- Improve understanding by expanding and coordinating human trafficking-related research, data, and evaluation to support evidence-based victim services
- Expand access to services by providing outreach, training, and technical assistance to increase victim identification and expand availability of services
- Improve outcomes by promoting effective, culturally-appropriate, trauma-informed services that improve the short- and long-term health, safety, and well-being of victims
Status reports are released to provide updates.
