Nampa Association of REALTORS®

Highlights the Realities of Human Trafficking

On September 20, 2023, the Nampa Association of REALTORS® (NAOR) hosted a significant event at the Nampa Civic Center, shining a light on the pressing issue of human trafficking within Idaho communities. The evening was notably marked by the story of Elizabeth Smart, a human trafficking survivor, who recounted her harrowing experience and emphasized the importance of continuous dialogue on the topic. Local victims from the Treasure Valley also shared their stories, highlighting the pervasive nature of the problem.


NAOR collaborated with esteemed local organizations such as the Nampa Police Department, Nampa Family Justice Center, and Community Outreach Behavioral Services (COBS) to provide insights and resources on combating human trafficking.


We want to recognize NAOR President Melanie Steinhaus and AE Chris Mooney for leading the charge to host such an important event.


We urge all members to watch the comprehensive video report by KTVB and explore online resources to stay informed and contribute to safeguarding our communities.
