Kristi Wells
Kristi Wells co-founded Safe House Project, a non-profit organization combating trafficking in America, in 2017. She was inspired to take action after understanding the high volume of this criminal activity in the United States, juxtaposed with the lack of safe and supportive housing options for those who have experienced trafficking. Under Kristi's leadership, Safe House Project has quickly become a unifying leader of the anti-trafficking field. The organization has raised millions of dollars which have allowed them to support the launch new safe homes across America for trafficking survivors to find healing, help hundreds of victims escape their traffickers and find placement into these safe homes, and train hundreds of thousands of individuals, corporations, medical professionals, law enforcement and military in communities across America to spot, report and prevent trafficking. Additionally, Safe House Project convenes more than 500 stakeholders in the Trafficking Survivor Equity Coalition. As a human trafficking expert who is regularly advising federal and state legislators as well as Fortune 500 companies, Kristi is helping advance a coordinated, collaborative, public-private national response to trafficking in America. Overall, Kristi Wells is a leader in the fight against trafficking whose vision and commitment have significantly impacted the lives of hundreds of survivors.
