in 2021 as the first licensed and accredited residential facility in Hawaii to specifically

meet the unique needs of commercially sexually exploited girls. Named Pearl Haven, the

secure campus has been designed to offer physical and emotional safety for up to 32

commercially sexually exploited girls between 11-18 years. Residents will receive
