Our survivor services are expanding

The biggest issues impacting our community—violence, houselessness, and economic insecurity—have resulted in overwhelming need. 

Survivors of domestic and sexual violence are particularly vulnerable. The most recent Multnomah County Point in Time Count found that 53% of women experiencing homelessness were survivors of domestic violence.

In response, we’re expanding our innovative, trauma-informed programs to help our neighbors stabilize and thrive.

Here’s what we’re doing:

• We’re building out two new homes in Portland to provide long-term housing and support for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.

• Last year we trained 13 new domestic violence advocates through our Social Justice education program and we’re on track to certify 30 more before the end of the year.

• We’re launching a new program this spring to help survivors currently living on the streets obtain safe, stable housing.

We are grateful to our donors and program partners for supporting this work. If you would like to help, please consider making a monthly donation.
