Josefina has built community connections that last. She and her children continue to come back each week, participating in all that our Advocacy Center offers and building on relationships with our team and other families.
Our Advocacy Center offers ongoing access to resources and programming – for as long as survivors need. Located in the same secure building as our shelter, it’s easy for current residents to participate in supportive activities and services, and for past residents to return and maintain the friendships and community they’ve built here.

At Raphael House, we do everything possible to support survivors throughout their journey, as they move forward and build lives without abuse. The combination of obstacles caused by domestic violence and Portland’s affordable housing crisis increases the need for consistent, long-term, and trauma-informed supports. Our Advocacy Center provides opportunities for shelter residents and non-residential participants to maintain supportive relationships and access continued resources as they rebuild their lives. Programming includes family activities and group events in addition to support groups, counseling, individualized follow-up and home visits, and life skills workshops.
