Our goal is to serve our clients with love and
dignity. Making sure that our facilities are
kept clean and well maintained, as we help to
provide our clients with their basic needs.
We offer case management to our clients
that are already in our system waiting for
possible permanent housing, as well as case
management to new clients that come to the
Mission.
Quarter 2 Connect new clients with the necessary
Exhibit A
October - December resources that they might need. Help them with applications to the housing authority for
them to obtain permanent housing. Also
helping clients build their resumes and
training their work skills. It's sad to mention,
but we have encountered so many clients
that do not have the slightest idea of how to
open a bank account or how to apply for a
driver license, so we help them with all this
and more.
Quarter 3
January - March
We stay in contact with clients that have
entered into the job force to ensure they are
doing well. In other words, we encourage
them with a phone call by letting them know
that we are here for them. We also pay them
random visits to see their progress, especially
the clients that are of advanced age.
Quarter 4
April – June
We will keep promoting our services to the
community by spreading the voice through
social media and our website.
Keep working with everyone that comes to
the mission for services. We will refer clients

succeed in their life. Keep maintaining our
services in an outstanding manner. We serve

Quarter Description of Anticipated Milestones
Quarter 1
July - September
Olive will continue to provide temporary,
transitional safe housing for victims of human
sex trafficking. Our goal is to connect clients
to available resources that will enable them
to become self sufficient. Resources include
but are not limited to; drug/alcohol
rehabilitation, licensed therapy for trauma,
life coaching, transportation, assistance with
probation/parole, assistance through court
ordered services, obtaining proper
identification, medical services through
Camarena Healthcare, assistance with job or
school applications, applying for state
compensation, and any other state resource
available that clients qualify for. After 2 years
of operating, we anticipate two women to be
Exhibit A
self-sufficient and moving out of the Bennett
House. This is an appropriate timeframe to
help our clients gain enough confidence
empowering them to move through life
successfully.
This first quarter we anticipate a large
number of victims that will reach out to
Olive. We base this on past patterns as
summer months bring in a larger influx of
clientele. We are here to intervene on behalf
of the victims of sex trafficking locally. Once a
potential client is assessed, they are moved
into the safe house in the City of Madera.
From there, they can attain supportive
services that they require. We work in a 'case
by case' basis to ensure each victim is treated
with individual dignity and respect.
Quarter 2
October - December
We are attempting to fund equine therapy
for the women we are housing through
fundraising efforts. This expansion of
therapeutic services to our clients will bring
more choices to the different clients we
encounter on a regular basis. The more
opportunities we can provide to the different
clients, the more women we can help
succeed.
We also maintain a 'phase 2' apartment in
Fresno County to assist clients with evictions
or lack of job history to satisfy landlords in
apartment buildings. This is a 2 bedroom
apartment that can house up to 2 women
who are ready to begin their journey into a
normal life. There are landlords who will not
rent to clients with certain crimes listed on
their records such as drug charges or
prostitution. This apartment will give our
clients who hold regular jobs the
understanding of what job history and paying
rent and utilities looks like. This phase 2
apartment also give more time for vacatur of
certain criminal activity that was accrued
during the time they were actually victims.
Exhibit A
Clients can stay at this location up to 1 year
to build rental history and save money. We
anticipate that we will have 2 clients ready by
the second quarter that will qualify for phase
2. This apartment is funded through
donations only.
Awarding CDBG funding to Olive, provides
stability to our City of Madera safe house and
enables us to expand services in other areas.
Victims of sex trafficking often have a
trafficker who is actively searching for them
to bring them back under oppression.
Keeping someone in the same county they
were picked up in is not always a viable
solution. Transferring someone out of county
for their safety in some cases is a necessary
step we must take. For this reason, we use
donor funding to provide a second location in
Fresno County. This location is a 2 bedroom
apartment that is at the same location as the
'phase 2' apartment. On this property lives a
life coach that specializes in trauma
counseling that these particular clients have
24 hour access to. Our staff meets with these
clients regularly to ensure proper
individualized care is maintained.
Quarter 3
January - March
With January being Human Trafficking
Awareness Month, we will expand our
outreach programs county wide. Olive will be
hosting the 'Red Sand Project' on a much
larger scale. In past years, we have simply
provided the sand to the different agencies.
This coming year, we will be hosting several
different opportunities for agencies and
community members to be involved in this
particular project. The Red Sand Project is a
world-wide campaign designed to bring
prevention and awareness to those who have
lost their lives due to human trafficking.
Olive has also joined the 'Pledge 2 Stop
Trafficking.' This is a co-op of Central Valley
agencies to host a 'one day' fundraising event
Exhibit A
on January 16th, 2024. The combined efforts
of this multi-agency organization will provide
more funding opportunities for direct
services for our clients. Volunteers work all
day for one day to provide awareness
opportunities and donation centers for
community members.
Olive also sponsors a local agency by the
name of EPIK Project in Madera. This group
of male volunteers meet once a month to
reach out to the 'buyer' population to
educate them on human sex trafficking, offer
supportive services (i.e. therapy) and explain
their role in this crime. As spring and summer
approach, there is anticipated a higher call
volume for sex services.
This third quarter we anticipate more
awareness to community members of the
devastation that sex trafficking can bring
throughout the city and county of Madera.
Quarter 4
April – June
Spring is our fundraising season. We will host
our annual dinner/auction to bring in extra
funding from the community. During this
quarter our focus is to bring more donor
support to Olive to cover other costs. Last
year Olive grossed just over $51,000.00.
However, due to the high cost of housing
individuals, inflation and funding their
specific needs, these funds are depleting.
In order to maintain our quality of service,
this fundraiser is necessary.
