Domestic Violence Resource Center

Mission

The mission of the Domestic Violence Resource Center is to support and empower survivors and their children who are affected by domestic violence.

Bottom Line for Portland

The Domestic Violence Resource Center (DVRC) provides free and confidential supportive services to survivors of domestic violence. Support services offered by DVRC include advocacy, counseling, emergency shelter (Monika's House), transitional housing (Mary Mac House), permanent housing (Sojourner's House), community education/training, and a 24/7 crisis line. In 2023, we responded to 3,988 crisis calls, created 974 safety plans, held 1,219 individual counseling sessions, and provided 7,709 safe nights for survivors in our shelters. 

Quote

“I came here a broken person. With the resources and respect given, I have found myself again. Thank you so much for the help. Without you, I don't think I would have survived." -Survivor at Monika's House

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Domestic violence does not discriminate and affects millions of people each year. At DVRC, we remain committed to serving ALL survivors of domestic violence regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, religion, economic status, or education level. DVRC works to break down service barriers by providing culturally specific and bilingual services to survivors. Our service model is continously evolving to meet the needs of survivors in our community.
