An ti-Human Trafficking Form August 11, 2025 Mr. James McQueen, Executive Director Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency 819 N.W. 21'd Avenue Miami, Florida 33136 Re: Executive Summary Transition, located in the heart of Overtown at 1550 N.W. 3`s Avenue, Bldg. C., Miami, Florida, has a rich history of combating violence and clime through effective Workforce Readiness Training and Employment Placement opportunities. Located for over 20 years in Overtown, Transition has provided job development, training, referrals, and placement services within the Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Boundaries to justice -involved and justice -impacted people as well as the unhoused, low-income, single -parented households, veterans, disabled and more! Our mission is simple: to provide clients with workforce readiness training, career exploration, job placements, occupational skills training and proactive coaching. Overtown's crime rate is 44.38 per 1,000 residents according to the latest AreaVibes statistics, and the projected cost of cruise in Overtown in 2025 is $7,736,592, which translates to $702 per resident and $1,580 per household. Transition's Second Chance Center is prepared to lower these statistics and continue to make positive impact in our Overtown community. Our program targets its efforts towards assisting youthful offenders, returning citizens, unhoused, disabled, veterans and low-income individuals as well as others facing various employment barriers. It is the agency's goal to remain proactively engaged with clients and to ensure they succeed in satisfying job performance standards as well as adopting additional life skills to remain financially stable and personally self-sufficient. We take pride in delivering comprehensive programs that positively impact our community. Recidivism rates in the United States arc high. In 2020, there were approximately six million individuals under the supervision of the adult correctional system in the United States (Kluckow & Zeng, 2022). While the correctional population decreased by 22.4°% from 2010 to 2020, there is a significant disproportion of inmates compared to other nations. Incarceration rates result from changes in policy and underlying issues such as mental illness, lack of education, and drug or alcohol addictions (Kluckow & Zeng, 2022). Since 1974, Transition has had a long history of proven success with our core mission of helping justice -involved people find and maintain meaningful, gainful employment. We have expanded our second chance services by providing "wrap -around" services, including GED preparation, transportation assistance, food stamps, case management, and almost everything else short of housing. Our partnership with the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition provides fines and fees assistance to justice -involved men and women directly from our center each day. It is our experience that the participants we serve, and the other underserved conununities we have come to assist, including troubled/disassociated youth, have distinct, additional needs that must be filled for them to be able to undertake a meaningful opportunity for employment. Our participants do riot have the time or bandwidth to make multiple appointments with different agencies at disparate locations to obtain other support. 3 Therefore, we offer our "Second Chance Center" to address the needs of Overtown residents. Employment plays a crucial role in combating crime by providing individuals with skills and opportunities necessary to succeed in the workforce. By offering job training prograins and workforce development services, communities can help reduce the likelihood of recidivism and crime. Here are some key points on how employment and training combat crone: Skill development, reduced recidivism, community i npact, and social support. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics in May 2024, the unemployment rate for Miamians is 2.2%. This represents an upward trend of .2%. History has taught us that the unemployment rate among undeserved communities is many tiines higher than the average. As stated in the SEOPW CRA Redevelopment Plan, "There appears to be a consensus in the community that employment opportunities be made available to existing residents in Overtown as a high priority." Transition is prepared to offer real employment opportunities. Our "Second Chance Center" will provide the following: Workforce Readiness Training, Job Development, Job Referrals, Job Training, Job Placement, Job Training opportunities, Case Management, and Wrap -around Services. In addition, participants may attend Financial Literacy and Digital Education offerings. In 2024, Transition began providing "The Journey", a support group for those who identify as female and "Man -Up!", a support group for those who identify as male. Both groups provide a "safe space" where participants offer support, encouuageinent, and comfort to the other group members, and receive the same in return. Offering thorough programming with real solutions is at the center of our "Second Chance" approach. Meeting the needs of each participant through evaluation, counseling/mentoring, building real employment skills through job training, preparing participants for today's workforce and placing them in the workforce community. Transition makes a difference — One Job at a Time/ With over 30 years of combined experience in Career Services, Transition's staff maintains the technical and linguistic competencies needed to successfully assist justice -involved people, including policy, structures, practices, procedures, and dedicated resources to support our capacity. Over the past few years, Transition has developed mental health services through our partnership with Abundant Living, rights and restoration via our partnership with Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, Driver's License and Florida Identification through our partnership with the Florida Department of Safety Motor Vehicles. It is the organization's experience that our participants do not have the tune or bandwidth to make multiple appointments with different agencies to obtain other support. On the other hand, when we have developed a positive rapport with our clients (we have a knack for this) and then provide the range of assistance needed in a "one stop" format, we have the best opportunity to effectuate our core mission: helping them get and maintain employment. Transition's Second Chance Center is an oasis of support for justice -involved and impacted people. Using job training and employment opportunities as the centerpiece of our services, this innovative venture will aid in reducing crime in Overtown. Transition is located at 1550 N.W. 3' Avenue, Building C., Miami, Florida 33136 at The Culrner Community Resource Center. Our contact is Stephen R. Gilmore, (305) 571-2001, Ext. 3007. Humbly Submitted, Stephen Gilm. e Program Director 4 PROPOSER'S EXPERIENCE AND PAST PERFORMANCE Our History Transition was founded in 1974 by Marvin Rauzin, a lawyer and businessman who firmly believed that if justice involved persons were given a "second chance" with employment and educational opportunities, the likelihood of their reoffending would be greatly reduced - studies since then have proven him correct.

We are a team of committed hard working professionals with hearts to serve underserved communities with purpose, compassion and professionalism!

Located in the heart of Overtown, Transition serves any person who walk through the front doors or our center - Almost 50% of our participants come from within the SEOPW CRA boundaries.

Our grassroots effort will include outreach to community partners including faith -based organizations, in -person presentations, distributed flyers door-to-door and printed media, are a few of the ways we will make direct contact with potential participants.

(See Attachment B — Transition's Cycle of Services) Our Answer to the Problem Each clay justice -involved people are released from jails and prisons, and their funily members and close friends are impacted by their situations. Miami -Dade County Corrections and Rehabilitation Department Daily Jail Population Statistics for July 2025 indicate between 75 and 200 inmates are 9 released back into our communities each month. This does not include people being released from state or federal institutions. Our Second Chance Center's aim is to provide well-rounded services/support, keeping individuals from "falling through the cracks", thereby, increasing the possibility of success and decreasing the chance of recidivism. All inmates have common issues upon reentry to the community regarding employment, housing, family relationship expectations, mental health and substance use and generally "not knowing where to begin". Our programs focus on treating clients according to their individual needs. Our outreach strategy is to present each reentering client with options that positively affect their future, approached in a manner that is respectful of their history, their dreams, and their right to self-determination. They are the architect of their lives, outlining for themselves what they know are their greatest obstacles and where they need assistance in dealing with them. Outreach will continue at regular intervals, dependent on the needs of each person. Horne visits are part of continued outreach as well as support, advocacy and navigation when referred to and engaged in community services. To improve delivery of services, reduce gaps, and reduce homelessness, Peer Specialist will accompany participants to appointments and advocate, as needed. Transition's Second Chance Center Service Description Transition's Second Chance Center offers tangible solutions to eliminating barriers to employment and employment opportunities for justice -involved, justice -impacted, homeless, low-income, veterans, disabled, and single -parent households.

We work with marginalized populations — formerly incarcerated, low-income, at -risk, unhoused, veterans and unemployed individuals. We believe in leveling the playing field and providing a second chance for all. Our organization was founded on the premise that everyone deserves a second chance, that equity should be our guiding principle and that all people have the right to a life of economic security and freedom from crime and poverty. We are guided by the premises of equity, inclusion, and diversity. Our participants identify as 42% African American, 34% Latinx 4% Caucasian, 6% Bi-racial and 14% other. We equally serve all races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, and economic statuses. The impact that this lens has on our delivery of programs and services to our community means that everyone is treated with respect. It means that justice for all and fair treatment for each participant — no matter their history or status — this is the driving force behind our work. Here are the numbers for our "One -Stop Work Center" grant and our goals for our Second Chance Center. Our objective is clear: Assist justice -involved men and women and other marginalized people move from dependency to self-sufficiency by offering the support, guidance, skills and resources dedicated to change the trajectory of their lives. As a result, we will help to reduce crime and poverty by offering real jobs and opportunities for advancement. By the Numbers (10/1/2024 — 07/31/ 2025) Here are the outcomes of our current grant cycle: • Adult Reentry Participants 1,254 • Services for justice involved people 12,176 • Workforce Readiness Participants 1,217 • Individual Employment/Reentry P (IEP/IRP) 1,205 • Obtain Employment 475 • Job Training Opportunities 463 • Case Management Assessment 1,205 • Case Management Services/Referrals 654 • Counseling Sessions 315 12 Our "Second Chance Center" Goals Goals for Transition's Second Chance Center will include successful completion of On -boarding, Workforce Readiness Training, Individual Employment/Reentry Plans, Employment Placements, Mental Health Assessments, and Case Management Services. Participants will be tracked by our Peer Specialist. PIacements Specialist will receive Employment Verifications to ensure employment of out participants. In addition, weeldy Case Management Meetings will be held to track the success of our wrap -around services. We firmly believe that our efforts will surpass our outlined goals for the year. • Adult Reentry Participants 2,000 • Services for justice involved people 15.000 • Workforce Readiness Participants 1,800 • Individual Employment/Reentry P (IEP/IRP) 1,750 • Obtain Employment 600 • Job Training Opportunities 725 • Mental Health Assessment 950 • Case Management Services/Referrals 1,000 • Counseling Sessions 500 Uniquely Qualified and Scalable Components 'Transition's Second Chance Center approach is unique in that we offer multiple services under one roof. Participants come to receive multiple services on a single visit, eliminating the red tape of bureaucracy. Our population of justice -involved people, unhoused, single parents and low-income are a special population who are reintegrating into mainstream society. They require the support of their family, friends, and organizations like Transition to be successful. This individualized care is the strength of our organization. As leaders iu Miami -Dade County's reentry community, Transition has a history of working with this complex community. Many of our staff have lived experience and we are sensitive to the needs of our reentry community.

In addition, our staff has over 30 combined years of Career Service experience and consistently attends workshops and training opportunities to enhance their skillset.

We have the capacity to host several events each day, for instance, each morning at lOam we host Narcotics Anonymous, registration and serving clients at the same time. Most are surprised at the sheer nuunber of activities we can host simultaneously. Transition's Second Chance Center can grow and serve a larger population without increasing costs or resources. We have witnessed first-hand tremendous growth in the in -take of participants due to the closing of the Northside Career Source Center. Currently, we help over 1,000 participants with services, and we have the capacity to serve another 500 participants. Of course, this will involve more volunteers, additional training and the use of developing online resources.

We host our annual Family Fun Day, Thanksgiving Day Potluck and Voters Registration events for the residents of Overtown. It is important that our community understands that we are here for them and these small acts of kindness generate a sense of community and togetherness. Our strategy for cominunity engagement includes clearly demonstrating the need for "second chance" opportunities for adults and youth in our community — we must continue our outreach in terms of communicating with all, including those standing on the street corners to churches and other local groups. We must continue to encourage our community to get involved, take advantage of programming, educational opportunities and more. We continue to set clear goals for our community and participants — with every certificate comes an employment opportunity. We must utilize our digital tools — thanks to The Miami Foundation, we have a refurbished computer lab where we offer free classes once a week. Finally, we must continue highlighting diverse voices — we must ensure that all perspectives are included in discussions. These strategies help build trust and collaboration within our communities. Transition has earned the trust of our community because we work hard each day — we stand true to our mission and create opportunities for Overtown residents. Stakeholder Involvement Transition's Second Chance Center will continue to provide stakeholders (participants and the community) with involvement in our programming. For example, we offer participants surveys and perform feedback sessions as part of our attempt to offer the best services to clients. We understand that by involving our participants, we can receive diverse perspectives, address concerns and create a network of champions who are willing to promote our work. In addition, our Program Director, maintains an "open door" policy with participants. At any time, a participant can elevate a concern or suggest — We are here for your clients and community. 15 Trust Building Efforts Transition is a vital. part of the Overtown community. Beyond career services, we assist other organizations and perform tasks outside of our typical work. For instance, we've hosted food drives, karaoke parties, Valentine's dances and more to help foster trust between our agency and community. We offer orientation twice a day for new members and during this process we explain our "open door" policy and other means for participants to share their viewpoint. Building a strong social contract is a top priority for our organization. We have a very limited marketing budget, and we view our participants and our community as our prune marketing tool. Making certain that they are aware of our services and how they can utilize our services is key. Oftentimes, members of our community come to us for help in several ways — our thought process — if we don't have the answer, we will find the answer! That's the primary way we build trust with members of our community — we get the job done! During COVID-19, Transition was one of the few agencies to remain open in Miami -Dade County. During that time, we assisted Overtown residents with food and unemployment applications, sponsored food and clothing drives and made free phone calls for clients in need. These acts helped develop our reputations as a "community agency." Furthermore, we will continue to offer opportunities to engage in community empowerment initiatives such as Voter's Registration Drives and workshops. 'These initiatives promote trust through active participation and support. To that end, the City of Miami Police Department, a valued Connnunity Partner, is always present at our Outreach events. We firmly believe that we arc a community of "ONE" and their presence at outreach events creates an opportunity for us to strengthen the relationship between public safety and our Overtown residents. Building trust between law enforcement and our community is critical for effective policing and positive community relations. Some of the strategies we have utilized have included open communication, community engagement, transparency and accountability. We continue to actively work with out police department. At our events our police have work hard to foster a better understanding of our residents and develop a more cooperative environment. Crime Reduction Impact Prison and jail releases are at an all -tune high in the United States, and many of those leaving prison are looking for jobs just as the country is recovering from the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. What to do? Like other reentry programs throughout the country, Transition's Second Chance Center will help stem the tide of recidivism by offering opportunities over incarceration. Work remains an appealing possibility for reducing social ills such as repeated crones and drug use. Jobs programs can make some measurable differences, such as lowering crone and reducing recidivism. Reducing recidivism not only protects society at large but also unproves the life quality of individual ex -offenders. Employment has long been recognized as having a negative correlation with crime (Uggen, 1999; Uggen et al., 2005). However, ex -prisoners face tremendous difficulties in obtaining employment opportunities post -release. Such a disadvantaged situation may be attributable to multiple reasons. First, most of the offenders may supply lack the necessary job skills for specific positions, 16 keeping them from those usually higher paid and more stable jobs. Second, many employers are reluctant to hire justice -involved people due to the stigma unposed by their previous criminal records. That's why programs like Transition's Second Chance Center are needed. Our program prepares justice -involved people for higher paying positions. Secondly, we partner with Couzrnunity Employers that provide opportunities for returning citizens. Both are required if we are going to make an impact in our communities. One longitudinal study consisted of a large sample from Norwegian prisons (Skardharnar & Telle, 2012) and used a wide range of individual infortnation (offense type, post -release education, post -release social benefits, drug use/possession, time served, inntnigrant background, family type, education, parents' education, previous earnings from work, etc.). The researchers found that employment is associated with reduced recidivism, with the association "strongest for those who were sentenced for property and economic offenses and least strong for those who were sentenced for violent and traffic offenses" (Skardharnar & Telle, 2012, p.646-647). Their measure of post -release employment, though," is based on being registered in the central employee register," which does not include characteristics of the job. The literature on reentry to the community -after release from prison confirms that recidivism is lower among those who find stable, high -quality employment (Berg & Huebner, 2011; La Vigne et al., 2004; Lockwood et al., 2012; Uggen, 2000; Verweij et al., 2021; Visher & Courtney, 2007; Visher et at., 2011). The relationship between employment and desistance is especially salient when individuals work in "career jobs" rather than "survival jobs" (Buckleni & Zajac, 2009; Niebuhr & Orrick, 2020; Uggen, 1999) . Despite the importance of obtaining employment soon after release from prison, releasees face difficulty in finding work (Uggen & Staff, 2001; Visher & Courtney, 2007) . Those who have been incarcerated are often not well educated and lack job training and vocational skills (Coates, 2016; Duwe, 2018a; Petersilia, 2003; Visher et al., 2011); importantly, many incarcerated people are released with similar educational and vocational deficits as they had when they were incarcerated (Crayton & Neusteter, 2008; Solomon et al., 2004). Given the importance of education for obtaining employment, prison -based education and career training may be a key component of successful reentry. Transition's Second Chance Center is prepared to combat crime and reduce recidivism by providing employment opportunities, job training, case management and wrap -around services. Our work has a strong positive impact on the individuals we serve and the communities they reside in. Metrics for Success Outcome Measures • Transition will assist 1,200 residents with employment opportunities • 85% of participants will create Individual Employment/Reentry Plans • 75% will have or receive assistance receiving IDs. • 75% will complete Workforce Readiness Training • 65% will become employed. • 100% will receive follow-up support. • 70% of clients will receive case management services. • 65% of clients will receive wrap -around services. 17 Identify the Deliverables • Participants will receive Initial Assessments by Placement Specialist • Participants will receive Workforce Readiness Training (job etiquette, mock interviews, creation of resume, cover letter, thank you letter and more! • Participants will receive job referrals and job placements. • Participants will receive job training skills • Participants will receive Initial Assessments from Case Management Team • Participants will have access to Individual and Group Counseling Evidence -Based Strategies Evidence -based programming focusing on reentry and successful reintegration are highly important to reducing recidivism. Transition's Second Chance Center addresses the three major components as outlined by the National Reentry Resource Center. Firstly, we combine the principles of Risk-Needs- Responsivity (RNR), deterrence, procedural justice, and collaboration. Transition conducts individual risk and needs assessments to create case plans for each participant. A person's assessed risk of recidivism, and the factors that may contribute to their risk, should guide services and planning for each participant. Secondly. because of the assessment, we can tailor the programming for each participant and document their progress. Providing tailored and holistic support that starts during confinement and continues after release, with a focus on fancily involvement, cognitive -behavioral therapy, and community supervision. While we do not provide support during confinement, Transition offers support as soon as the participant begins registration. Thirdly, addressing critical needs such as housing, employment, family unification, and mental physical health treatment. Participants are asked a series of questions during their assessment with our Case Manager. Our Case Manager creates a warm, welcoming environment which allows participants to feel comfortable and share more of themselves. As soon as barriers are elevated, we address them or find a Community Partner who can address them. It is imperative that as many of a participant's needs are addressed invnediately. If they are not, then the likelihood of a participant being successful is • reduced. Evaluation and Sustainability Transition has worked extremely hard over the last 5 years to improve our stance as a sustainable organization. In 2023, Transition was selected to participate in JP Morgan Chase Bank Service Corp Program. This prograrn provided us with a team of Chase Bank professionals who evaluated our agency financially, programmatically and our impact on our community. Throughout this one-year process, we were able to develop a detailed report which included our five-year business plan to boost our financial reserves, programmatic goals to include how we track the efficiency of our services, and tools to measure our impact on quantifiable outcomes and to ensure they are aligned with our mission 18 objectives. It was a valuable project that has helped us tremendously. We learned how to market ourselves to our community, track our resources and branding. We also continue to evaluate our community partnership and gauge via surveys and engagement analytics our performance. Our long-term sustainability will be achieved by further diversifying our income streams. Currently, funds come from grants, The heroes Reception, our Annual Event, and Give Miami Day. These last two sources are unrestricted. We look to focus on more unrestricted dollars and earned income. Transition is an agency that evaluates all our work. With the help of the JP Morgan Chase Service Corps Program, we were able to better hone in on what it takes to be a fully evaluated organization. All our programs are evaluated to help us gauge constituents' successes by program's end and after. For our youth Boot Ca.tnp, the assessment that will be used is the CASEL assessment. The CASEL framework is widely used by researchers, educators, and policymakers to help establish systemic, equitable, evidence based social and emotional learning for all preschool to high school students. It guides the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of school -family -community partnerships to enhance the social, emotional, and acadeinic competencies of young people. o Pre -assessment helps participants reflect on prior knowledge and prepare for learning experiences. • Mid -assessment evaluates progress, engagement, and areas for improvement. • Post -assessment measures growth, program impact, and key takeaways. Additionally, we use the True Colors Assessment; it provides participants with an overview of skills and talents they possess. True Colors can be a valuable tool for personal growth, improving relationships, and making informed decisions; and it is used to understand one's strengths, work on areas for development, and navigate interactions with others more effectively. For our adult re-entry program, participants receive a pre- and post-test. We measure satisfaction with the program, program efficacy, client motivation, number of interventions, job placement, job retention at the 30-, 90-, and 120-day marks. In the financial literacy and computer literacy classes, clients are measured by their pre- and post -knowledge of the subject matter. The results we hope to attain include: 1) that adults and youth do not re -offend 2) that youth are prepared for a promising career in a field of their choice 3) that adults maintain employment in a job we matched them with or other field 4) that constituents become self-sufficient. Long Term Funding Strategy Transition has performed the following tasks to create a long-term stream of revenue for our agency. This includes conducting a financial assessment to analyze our income sources, expenditures and overall financial health. Set clear financial goals that are specific, measurable and achievable financial goals aligned with our mission. We identified funding sources such as grants, donations, partnerships and earned income. We developed a diverse fundraising plan which we would focus on multiple streams to ensure financial stability. In addition, we engaged our stakeholders and continued to build relationships with donors, community partners, and board members to enhance trust and support. By 19 implementing these strategies, we believe we can enhance our financial sustainability and ensure our long-term success. Data Collection and Analysis Transition utilizes Bonterra's Apricot Software system. Known for its efficient workflows, powerful automations, and sophisticated reporting tools, Apricot has always empowered agencies and nonprofits to improve service delivery. As part of the Bonterra Impact Management platform brings together industry -leaching case manageinent software, a library of trusted best practices, and robust impact measurement capabilities to give us a holistic way to achieve our goals. Transition uses this system in several ways, including our onboarding process, quarterly reports and annual reports. Budget and Cost Effectiveness Transition monitors income and expenses to ensure that we stay within planned budgets, which is essential for financial transparency and resource allocation. Our Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) measures our success by tracking the metrics such as the number of people served, impact on our community, and cost per outcome to evaluate our effectiveness. In addition, we perform financial analysis to align our spending with mission goals, assess financial health, and identify areas for improvement Our Board of Directors utilizes data analytics to segment donors and track their contributions towards our annual Heroes Reception (our major fundraising event).

Finding alignment with strategic goals (assisting justice -involved move towards independence), considering stakeholder perception and trust (surveys/feedback sessions/community engagement), and adopting structured approaches that incorporate elements of both cost -benefit and cost -impact analysis (the cost of a program or activity divided by the number of participants). By blending these models, we're able to optitnize value, purpose, and ensure cost -efficiency and mission alignment. 21 IlIIfl)))))J TRANSITION r 'hanging 1.1,e t ()no Jodi rat #1 T+nne IIIIII)))))» TRANSITION WWW.TRANSITIONINC.ORG Supporting Documentation Attachment A Outreach Coordinator Transition's One -Stop Workforce Center Program Staffing Chart Program Director Program Specialist Program Supervisor Placement Specialist Placement Specialist Peer Specialist Accounting Placement Specialist Peer Specialis , Case Manager Transition's Cycle of Services Attachment B 1.

Title Chapter 787 View Entire XLVI KIDNAPPING; CUSTODY OFFENSES; HUMAN TRAFFICKING; AND RELATED Chapter CRIMES OFFENSES 787.06 Human trafficking.— (1)(a) The Legislature finds that human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery. Victims of human trafficking are young children, teenagers, and adults. Thousands of victims are trafficked annually across international borders worldwide. Many of these victims are trafficked into this state. Victims of human trafficking also include citizens of the United States and those persons trafficked domestically within the borders of the United States. The Legislature finds that victims of human trafficking are subjected to force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of sexual exploitation or forced labor. (b) The Legislature finds that while many victims of human trafficking are forced to work in prostitution or the sexual entertainment industry, trafficking also occurs in forms of labor exploitation, such as domestic servitude, restaurant work, janitorial work, sweatshop factory work, and migrant agricultural work. (c) The Legislature finds that traffickers use various techniques to instill fear in victims and to keep them enslaved. Some traffickers keep their victims under lock and key. However, the most frequently used practices are less obvious techniques that include isolating victims from the public and family members; confiscating passports, visas, or other identification documents; using or threatening to use violence toward victims or their families; telling victims that they will be imprisoned or deported for immigration violations if they contact authorities; and controlling the victims' funds by holding the money ostensibly for safekeeping. (d) It is the intent of the Legislature that the perpetrators of human trafficking be penalized for their illegal conduct and that the victims of trafficking be protected and assisted by this state and its agencies. In furtherance of this policy, it is the intent of the Legislature that the state Supreme Court, The Florida Bar, and relevant state agencies prepare and implement training programs in order that judges, attorneys, law enforcement personnel, investigators, and others are able to identify traffickers and victims of human trafficking and direct victims to appropriate agencies for assistance. It is the intent of the Legislature that the Department of Children and Families and other state agencies cooperate with other state and federal agencies to ensure that victims of human trafficking can access social services and benefits to alleviate their plight. (2) As used in this section, the term: (a) "Coercion" means: 1. Using or threatening to use physical force against any person; 2. Restraining, isolating, or confining or threatening to restrain, isolate, or confine any person without lawful authority and against her or his will; 3. Using lending or other credit methods to establish a debt by any person when labor or services are pledged as a security for the debt, if the value of the labor or services as reasonably assessed is not applied toward the liquidation of the debt, the length and nature of the labor or services are not respectively limited and defined; 4. Destroying, concealing, removing, confiscating, withholding, or possessing any actual or purported passport, visa, or other immigration document, or any other actual or purported government identification document, of any person; 5. Causing or threatening to cause financial harm to any person; 6. Enticing or luring any person by fraud or deceit; or 7. Providing a controlled substance as outlined in Schedule 1 or Schedule II of s. 893.03 to any person for the purpose of exploitation of that person. (b) "Commercial sexual activity" means any violation of chapter 796 or an attempt to commit any such offense, and includes sexually explicit performances and the production of pornography. (c) "Financial harm" includes extortionate extension of credit, loan sharking as defined in s. 687.071, or employment contracts that violate the statute of frauds as provided in s. 725.01. (d) "Human trafficking" means transporting, soliciting, recruiting, harboring, providing, enticing, maintaining, purchasing, patronizing, procuring, or obtaining another person for the purpose of exploitation of that person. (e) "Labor" means work of economic or financial value. (f) "Maintain" means, in relation to labor or services, to secure or make possible continued performance thereof, regardless of any initial agreement on the part of the victim to perform such type service. (g) "Obtain" means, in relation to labor, commercial sexual activity, or services, to receive, take possession of, or take custody of another person or secure performance thereof. (h) "Services" means any act committed at the behest of, under the supervision of, or for the benefit of another. The term includes, but is not limited to, forced marriage, servitude, or the removal of organs. (i) "Sexually explicit performance" means an act or show, whether public or private, that is live, photographed, recorded, or videotaped and intended to arouse or satisfy the sexual desires or appeal to the prurient interest. (j) "Unauthorized alien" means an alien who is not authorized under federal law to be employed in the United States, as provided in 8 U.S.C. s. 1324a(h)(3). The term shall be interpreted consistently with that section and any applicable federal rules or regulations. (k) "Venture" means any group of two or more individuals associated in fact, whether or not a legal entity. (3) Any person who knowingly, or in reckless disregard of the facts, engages in human trafficking, or attempts to engage in human trafficking, or benefits financially by receiving anything of value from participation in a venture that has subjected a person to human trafficking: (a)1.
