We promote the healthy development of children, adolescents and their families.

Our programs provide safe environments where children six weeks to five years old are nurtured, while parents receive the education and support they need to develop strong parenting skills and a nurturing home environment.

Whether it's a family seeking parenting support or a woman fleeing domestic violence, we provide support to individuals striving to build Healthy Families.

Home Free’s housing program is unique in its approach among domestic violence services agencies.  Rather than provide an emergency facility or temporary apartments for families fleeing domestic violence, the program helps families to access their own permanent housing, and then assists them in staying there – safely and independently. 

Family Relief Nursery is an intervention/prevention program for families with children six weeks to six years old. The primary goal is to impact the intergenerational cycle of child abuse and neglect and to assist parents in retaining their children in their own homes in a safe, supportive environment.

CourtCare is a drop-in child care program located in downtown Portland's Multnomah County Courthouse, operated by Volunteers of America Oregon, in partnership with the Multnomah Bar Association, the Oregon Judicial Department and Multnomah County.

This is a service for the children of families involved in court proceedings. It eliminates distruptions during courtroom proceedings and protects children from witnessing unpleasant situations.
