OUR STORY
Finding that San Diego is the 8th largest city in the U.S. with the issue of Human Trafficking and that there were limited resources for survivors, co-founders Susan Johnson, Nate Alcorn and Kyle Moss incorporated the Alabaster Jar Project. The mission was to provide housing and resources for survivors of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. The Alabaster Jar Project began as a ministry of The Church at Rancho Bernardo and incorporated as a standalone nonprofit 501(c)3 in 2013, receiving tax exempt status in July of 2014. It is now comprised of Grace House, a long-term residential program; a Resource Center, a drop-in center that provides clothing, toiletries, programming and Peer Support Group.

Survivor Book Release
Rebuild and Thrive
We are thrilled to announce a survivor book release! Amanda, Grace House Graduate of 2017 and survivor staff member here at AJP, is releasing her book, Rebuild and Thrive.
Rebuild and Thrive is a book by survivors, for survivors. It is a self-help book designed to guide new survivors of exploitation through their first steps towards physical, financial, and emotional independence.
Rebuild and Thrive has been road-tested in our survivor recovery groups with the guidance of clinical perspectives and expertise. Whether you are currently in a program or recovering independently, Rebuild and Thrive can empower you to take total charge of your personal healing so you can live your best life.
