This report examines the complex circumstances under which human trafficking survivors exit residential programs, introducing a nuanced framework that categorizes departures as favorable, unfavorable, or partial progress. The study finds that organizational longevity and smaller bed capacities are significant predictors of positive outcomes, likely due to more refined practices and individualized survivor engagement. To improve long-term stability, shelters are increasingly implementing more rigorous screening, clearer rule enforcement, and structured aftercare to better support the non-linear nature of the recovery journey.
