The Dream Center runs two trafficking centres, oh sorry, I meant 'homes for girls who've been sex trafficked'. What a great way to avail yourself of vulnerable girls with no one to look after their welfare and no one to know if anything untoward were to happen to them. The Dream Centre also have a home for trafficked girls in Romania, the Constanta Dream Center.
Warren Jeff's (fundamentalist Mormon, FLDS) 65th wife gave the Dream Center a three-acre property which contained three homes. That property is now called the Short Creek Dream Center..
In case anyone has forgotten who Warren Jeff is, he was found guilty of child sex abuse. He is in prison for life. He forced young girls into marriages with old men. He raped a 12 and a 15 year old girl. Two of his own children have accused him of sexual abuse. If a church member pissed him off, he 'reassigned' the wife and children to another man. At one point he expelled 20 men and gave their wives to other men. Jeffs anally raped his nephews.
If Im not mistaken Jim Bakker used to work at the Dream Center in Los Angeles after he got out of prison. He met his current wife there. I think they worked with homeless kids there as well. Yup just found it. Heres the link http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/1998/december7/8te062.html
Dream Center
Matthew's father, Tommy Barnett, is pastor of the Phoenix First Assembly of God megachurch in Phoenix, Arizona. In September 1994 his church purchased the Queen of Angels Hospital, a Los Angeles landmark in the ramshackle Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. The building was converted for use as a soup kitchen, a group home for runaways, prostitutes and gang members, and a shelter for the homeless. It also provided job training and religious services. By 1997 Matthew, then 23, was managing the day-to-day operations of what was to be called The Dream Center.[2] The Dream Center now reaches over 35,000 people each week in 273 ministries and outreaches.[3] The center is open 24/7. An important role is rehabilitating drug addicts, who account for about half its residents, including underage teens.

Dream Center also has a shelter in Short Creek. This is an article about the fundamentalist Mormons and the sister-wives left homeless and penniless in that area. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/nov/17/fundamentalist-mormons-sister-wives-homelessness

CEO of the Phoenix Dream Center is Brian Steel, who is also a member of Governor Doug Ducey’s Human Trafficking Council. I think someone mentioned Ducey on CDAN. http://www.12news.com/article/news/warren-jeffs-65th-wife-transforms-compound-into-social-services-shelter/75-491035975
