Raphael House of Portland has provided life-saving emergency shelter to adults and children escaping domestic violence since 1977. We offer personalized, one-on-one support to help survivors achieve housing, employment, self-sufficiency, and safety. Raphael House also works to prevent future violence through community education. Annually Raphael House serves 130 adults and children in our emergency shelter, assists 1,200 callers on a 24-hour access line, supports 480 survivors with ongoing programming, and reaches 3,000+ youth and adults with prevention education workshops. We believe that everyone deserves to live a life free from violence. The mission of Raphael House is to engage our entire community in non-violent living through advocacy, education, and community outreach, and by providing a safe haven from domestic violence.
