ORCUTT, Calif. - A new safe house for victims of human trafficking on the Central Coast is finally open. Casa of Hope is a long term shelter for survivors, and it's the first of its kind in the region.

"I've been trying to put this together for 11 years," said founder Connie Logeman. "The safe house now is open. We're very pleased to be able to reach out now and give these girls a chancer to recover."

As of last week, Logeman says they've taken in their first two guests.

"I've got one gal that wants to –she's been in terrible situations in her life –and her goal is to be a cop. And I said why is that, and she said 'I wanna help people.'"

Casa of Hope will offer survivors a long-term recovery program.
