Family Services

Supporting families has been a priority for Catholic Charities since our founding. In partnership with our clients, we provide an array of supportive services for low-income families, including many who are recovering from trauma.

We believe a stable home environment creates a resilient, healthy future for children and parents.

Catholic Charities of Oregon supports families to become more resilient and thrive by helping our clients to establish stable home environments for their children. Offered services include the following:

  • Help finding resources like mental health counseling, financial wellness & other services
  • Case management and group classes
  • Infant supplies

We are not currently accepting new families or external referrals. If you are seeking Family Services support for you or someone you know, are you encouraged to call 2-1-1, our community’s information and referral line.

Please note: We do not offer rent assistance, so if that is the only help you are seeking, we encourage you to call 2-1-1, our community’s information and referral line.
