Raphael House of Portland

Raphael House of Portland is dedicated to ending domestic and sexual violence. We support survivors through emergency and ongoing services, while advancing systemic change through community-based education and collaborative advocacy. We are committed to building a future where survivors, their families, and our communities thrive.

For over 45 years, our agency has helped survivors of domestic violence and their families find safety, hope, and independence. Since opening our doors in 1977, we have provided uninterrupted access to emergency shelter in a confidential location, and we proudly offer trauma-informed, survivor-centered, and culturally responsive services. We serve a diverse community of adults and children primarily from the Portland metro area regardless of gender identity, ethnicity, disability, immigration status, primary language, or sexuality.

Raphael House’s programs continue to evolve to meet the changing needs of survivors and our community in creative and innovative ways. Today, we offer an array of programs that help survivors achieve permanent housing, employment, and stability and bring us closer to our vision for a world without domestic violence.
