Kristi House

Kristi House is dedicated to treating and preventing child sexual abuse, trafficking and other childhood trauma, working closely with community partners, parents and providers. Operating the only Children's Advocacy Center (CAC) in Miami-Dade County, Kristi House is responsible for coordinating child-victims’ legal, medical, and social services needs. Founded in 1995 as a private, not-for-profit 501c3 organization, Kristi House provides an integrated solution for families navigating the complex services involved in the healing process. The Center is nationally recognized for its evidenced-based, therapeutic expertise in treating child trauma. All services are provided at no charge.

Kristi House is one of the first CACs in the country to address the issue of commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC), otherwise known as child sex trafficking. Kristi House established Project GOLD (Girls Owning their Lives and Dreams), the first drop-in center for CSEC girls in Florida, with specialized services for sex trafficked youth.
