The Central Valley is currently battling a human trafficking crisis.

 The mission of Without Permission is to bring human trafficking education and prevention training to the Central Valley and to provide life restoration to survivors.

In 2010, Debbie Johnson founded Without Permission Inc., a faith based non-profit organization in the Central Valley.

Beginning as a two-person ministry, Without Permission has developed a local response to the growing problem.

In September of 2015, Just His House began the journey of survivor restoration as a day center for navigation and restoration.  

In 2020, WP purchased property in North Modesto to begin building a permanent location for Just His House, complete with amenities to better serve the survivors they work with.

In recent years, they have launched a cutting edge jail diversion program in collaboration with local District Attorney’s offices in order to help reduce recidivism and restore victims caught up in the cycle.  -informed mentors to the survivors of sex trafficking/exploitation. The Crisis Navigator team to date has served over 1,162 survivors of sex trafficking and exploitation in the Central Valley.

Without Permission has developed and presented educational training programs to law enforcement, juvenile probation, social services, school administrators, and emergency medical staff.
