Kristi House

Kristi House is a non-profit organization based in Miami, Florida, with a staff of 40 employees. The organization operates as the state-designated Child Advocacy Center (CAC) for Miami-Dade County, coordinating the efforts of seven community partners involved in investigating, prosecuting, and treating child abuse cases. Kristi House provides comprehensive services to child victims and their families, helping them navigate the complex resources available during the healing process. Their services are evidence-based and specialize in treating child sexual abuse and other forms of child trauma, all offered free of charge. A key distinction of Kristi House is its commitment to addressing child trafficking. In 2007, they established Project GOLD (Girls Owning their Lives and Dreams), a program dedicated to assisting girls who have experienced commercial sexual exploitation. This program also operates Florida’s first Drop In Center specifically for trafficked girls. The organization has expanded its reach by building four satellite offices throughout Miami-Dade County, ensuring accessibility for clients across the region.
