2024 Annual Report


Ready for Hope 10 Years Later
A decade-long journey demonstrates VOA Oregon's lasting community impact as Family Relief Nursery Director Crystal Ross reconnects with a former client seeking support. Through VOA's integrated services, including addiction treatment and domestic violence support, the organization helps parents overcome challenges and rebuild family relationships. The story highlights FRN's commitment to strengthening families when they're ready for change.

From Streets to Support
Former Portland homeless resident Cesar Valle Lopez transforms to a mentor at VOA Oregon's Latino Home Base Recovery program. After completing Multnomah County's STEP program, Lopez now guides others through culturally-sensitive addiction treatment services. Breaking stigmas in Hispanic communities around seeking help, he demonstrates recovery's success while pursuing certification as a Drug and Alcohol Counselor.

Help is More Than Just Assistance
VOA Oregon continues transforming lives across the community, serving nearly 21,000 individuals through mental health services, addiction recovery programs, and family support initiatives. Under CEO Kay Toran's leadership, the organization has expanded its reach through the SHIFT healthcare initiative, partnerships with Jessup University, and enhanced domestic violence services. Toran will retire in early 2025 after 25 years of service.
