This is a transitional home for women, primarily targeting those leaving the sex-trade industry,

addictions, and other destructive lifestyles. The Esther House program has several components.

Each resident is paired with a staff member/mentor who meets with her individually at least once

a week. This mentor provides accountability and direction in goal-setting with regard to

employment, education, and life skills. Staff members live in the house, so they are a living

example of stable, healthy lives.

We also teach life principles in order for the women to become responsible, contributing

members of society. Each resident is expected to become and/or remain drug and alcohol free.

Residents are taught Biblical principles of living free and productive lives through Bible studies,

church, counseling, and Christian staff members.

According to www.streetshope.org, “Denver is widely known as a ‘prostitution-friendly’ city.”

This is especially evident along the Colfax corridor. Denver Police, court system, and City

Council are working to remove this stigma. In the process, they are seeing the need for

rehabilitation and practical hope for the women caught up in the trap of prostitution.

These women are typically victims, as well as perpetrators. They are either caught in a cycle of

drugs and are prostituting in order to support that habit, or they are being abused and used by

men for money. These women are ensnared in a lifestyle that is very difficult to leave without

support from people who care about them individually.
