Our Story

The Elora House story is one of  collaboration;

it is the bedrock of who we are as an organization.

 

We recognize and aim to complement the many organizations and community partners currently doing the hard work to help combat sexual exploitation and human trafficking in our community, and beyond.  

 

It all began when Elora House Founder, Luisa Krause, attended a local conference. She was so moved by what she learned at that time, that she almost immediately began the journey to working towards being able to provide safety for victims. The dreams quickly evolved into goals that included offering safe housing designed to inspire personal transformation and restoration, as well as supporting the victims with unconditional kindness, acceptance, and support, as they work to move beyond their experiences. Today, we all work together to help see the dream of ending Sexual Exploitation and Human Trafficking. 

OUR CARE TEAM

Our care team works together to support Elora House residents through a trauma informed and strengths based approach. Our goal is to coach each resident, role model our core values and walk alongside them as they navigate their healing journey. 

Our 24/7 Frontline staff is made up of volunteers and paid staff. Together they support residents along with regular visits by registered educators, nurses, mental health workers, occupational therapists and spiritual/faith-based advisors, while offering supportive programming.
