Clackamas Women's Services

Mission

Clackamas Women’s Services breaks the isolation of domestic and sexual violence. We provide housing programs and many other resources for children and adults escaping domestic and sexual violence, child and elder abuse, stalking, dating violence, and trafficking.

Bottom Line for Portland

Housing is one of the top resources requested by survivors and growing our housing program to meet the need in accordance with available funding sources has helped thousands of survivors in recent years. We provide supportive housing services that include housing referrals and resources to survivors, keeping them safe as they achieve their goals for safety and autonomy. 

At our Village emergency shelter, we connect survivors with the space and resources to rebuild their lives in a supportive community. At any given time, The Village is home to 15 families and is an ever-expanding community of survivors. We celebrate the joy and strength that community brings.

Last year, over 514 adults and 615 kids were safely housed across our continuum of resources, an increase of 21% from 2023. Generous community support empowers us to increase access to safe shelter, housing, and other resources which are needed more than ever.

“Thank you to all of everyone who allowed me to progress…I felt more at ease than I had in forever. I learned so much from being here...I can honestly say that this was a life changing moment for me…thank you isn’t nearly quite enough to say. I will always remember and hold dear to myself for all that was done for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you.” —CWS Housing Participant
