Celebrating 25 Years of Compassion
Twenty-five years ago, a seed was planted that has blossomed into one of the most important resources for thousands of our vulnerable neighbors in Portland. In 1997, Sr. Cathie Boerboom and her team spent months surveying women experiencing homelessness, hearing from them what they wanted and needed most. To their surprise, the resounding answers were relational rather than material. While void of so much, these women craved love, trust, and safety above all else. Their collective voice became the foundation for Rose Haven, and it continues to define our work today.
Rose Haven was the first of its kind 25 years ago, as the only agency serving women and children during the daytime hours. Today we remain the sole agency in Portland serving this population, addressing their need for safety, resources, and community connection.
The demand for our services has grown exponentially year after year. As our agency celebrates its silver anniversary, we hold everlasting gratitude for our founders, who could not have realized how significant Rose Haven would be in 2022. We are committed to continuing their legacy based on their original values, with Compassion, Individual Worth, Reconciliation, and Love in Action at the heart of our work.
The Power of Trauma-informed Design
Join Our Community
Rose Haven is the only day shelter and community center specifically serving women, children, and gender-diverse people in Portland. As night shelters are at capacity, our low-barrier drop-in model bridges the gaps in services. For many, we are the first step in asking for help and starting to heal. More about current services here.
