Our Impact
Together, we are ending the cycles of violence and abuse.
The Crisis in Oregon
Oregon is higher than the national average in every measure of abuse.
Domestic Violence

Child Abuse

Homicides
66% of all homicides in Washington County are domestic violence related, and 69% of women murdered in Oregon are killed by domestic violence.
The Downstream Impacts
When violence goes unaddressed, the consequences spread across generations and communities.
69% of children in Oregon
Childhood Trauma: In Oregon, 69% of children experience at least one ACE and 22% report 4+ —higher than the national average. Kids who witness violence are 5–7x more likely to become victims or perpetrators in adulthood.
Losing Housing
Homelessness: 25% of women lose housing due to DV. 57% of homeless families and 90% of homeless youth cite family violence as the cause of their homelessness.
26x more likely to misuse drugs
Health & Mental Health: Survivors are 26x more likely to misuse drugs, 12x more likely to misuse alcohol, and 2x more likely to suffer from chronic illness. 87% report significant mental health challenges.
$392,098 in lifetime costs
Economic Toll: Each survivor represents an average $392,098 in lifetime costs across healthcare, criminal justice, and lost work.
Our Solution: The Family Peace Center
Oregon’s fragmented systems force survivors to navigate dozens of agencies, often while homeless, traumatized, or isolated. The Family Peace Center (FPC) changes that.
By bringing 20+ partner agencies under one roof, we:
End fragmentation with seamless, coordinated services.
Provide housing navigation, counseling, peer support, and treatment to address housing loss, trauma, and substance use.
Break generational cycles with a therapeutic preschool, youth programming, and family supports so children can heal.
Expand access for rural and underserved survivors through transportation and culturally specific services.
Advocate for systemic change, advancing housing, healthcare, and accountability to prevent violence before it starts.
The Family Peace Center is both called for in Oregon’s DV SOS audit and recognized nationally as a best practice model for breaking cycles of abuse.
Our Impact to Date
Since opening the FJC in 2018, our collaborative has walked alongside over 31,000 survivors on their journey to safety and healing.
In 2025 alone:
6,021 survivors served
12,527 services provided
And survivors tell us:
100%
felt they and their children were cared for.
99.4%
experienced trauma-informed care.
100%
received the help they needed to keep their families safe.
Together, We Are Changing the Statistics.
We Are Breaking the Cycle.
The Family Peace Center is more than a building—it is a place of safety, healing, and hope. It is a collaborative movement of compassion and resilience, where partners come together to surround survivors with the care they need. Every number is not just data—it represents a life restored, a family supported, a community made safer, and a future that can reach its full potential.
