There will soon be a new refuge for Bay Area victims and sexual assault. Next year, the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay will open a second sexual assault services facility in south Hillsborough County. It's an expansion they say is needed in an underserved area.

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. Hillsborough County leaders say the Tampa Bay area is better prepared than ever before to fight human trafficking ahead of Super Bowl LV. The big game will be played at Raymond James Stadium on February 7, 2021.
Community leaders, including County Commissioner Kimberly Overman, the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay, the Tampa Police Department, State Attorney Andrew Warren, and several non-profit agencies have been working together for the past year on the Commission on Human Trafficking. Its aim is to put resources in place to help those affected by human trafficking, provide resources and services, and help try and stop human trafficking from happening around Super Bowl LV.
