What Happens Next

Projected impacts based on AI analysis

Over the next weeks to months

More outreach and call volume for the National Human Trafficking Hotline

If funding increases continue, more people may get through faster for help, safety planning, and referrals to local services.

Ongoing in the coming months

Ongoing child safety verification checks for unaccompanied minors

More home visits and follow-ups may happen for children and sponsors/caregivers, which could improve safety but also increase fear for mixed-status households.
