Did you know that this year we opened our shelter to male-identified survivors? Raphael House of Portland is now a gender inclusive agency.
Since 2010, our staff has been planning, researching, training, collaborating, and preparing for this shift at every level! Serving female-identified, male-identified, and gender nonconforming survivors through all of our services reflects our belief that everyone deserves a life free from violence.
Gender inclusivity is important to Raphael House because we know that domestic violence impacts people in our community regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status.
We have been serving male dependants of all ages for years, and are proud to accept shelter referrals for anyone immediately experiencing intimate partner violence and in need of confidential shelter, regardless of their gender.
Thank you for your generous support of Raphael House, and of our work to be inclusive of all survivors!
