Sacred Beginnings Transitional Homes Inc is a survivor‑led 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, that provides street outreach, transitional housing, peer mentoring, trauma counseling, and other wraparound services for people exiting sexual exploitation and human trafficking. The organization was founded by Leslie King and operates survivor‑staffed programs including transition homes and a drop‑in center called Home Base.
