Questions
Frequently asked questions
What does the Short Creek Dream Center do?
We run a 40-bed residential trauma recovery program for survivors of human trafficking, abuse, oppression, and high-control environments, the City Help Center Food Bank, and community outreach including events and household projects for neighbors. Residents also receive educational support and academic planning through partnerships with local schools, colleges, and community educational resources.
Where is the Short Creek Dream Center?
We serve the twin towns of Hildale, Utah and Colorado City, Arizona, known together as Short Creek. Our Residential Support Center is in a 44-bedroom house that once belonged to Warren Jeffs, renovated room by room into a place of hope and healing.
Is the Short Creek Dream Center a faith-based organization?
Yes. We are a Christ-centered, faith-based, not-for-profit social services agency, part of The Dream Institute, and rooted in values that began with the first Dream Center, founded in Los Angeles in 1994.
What does “trauma-informed” mean at the Dream Center?
Our care is built on safety, choice, trust, empowerment, community, and long-term restoration, so people can heal through relationship rather than being rushed through a program.
