Our Humble Roots
How we got started
El Programa Hispano’s humble roots began in 1982 when a small group of outreach workers from Catholic Family Services, now Catholic Charities of Oregon (CCO), conducted outreach to Latino migrant farmworkers in East Multnomah County. In 2015, with the support of CCO, El Programa became an independent 501(c)3 organization. Today, we serve more than 20,000 individuals annually in the areas of Economic Sustainability, Education, Community Wellness and UNICA, our Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault prevention, intervention, and advocacy program. Our vision is a thriving Latine Community living to our fullest potential.
Although EPHC is affiliated with the Catholic Charities Network, a candidate or participant does not need to be a Catholic to work with us or to receive services. Across our programs and services, staff of all faiths or none, work within our framework of respect for our mission, a person’s dignity and the common good.
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and UNICA would like to use this space to draw attention to how important it is to address this issue not only as a community, but also as individuals.

Las actitudes que culpan a la víctima marginan a sobrevivientes y hacen que sea más difícil denunciar el abuso.
Muchas víctimas optan por no denunciar su agresión sexual por miedo a represalias, a culpar a la víctima o simplemente a que no les crean.
El Día del Mezclilla crea conciencia sobre la culpabilización de las víctimas y se utiliza para educar a otros sobre la violencia sexual.
¡TE CREEMOS!

Victim-blaming attitudes marginalize the survivor and makes it more difficult to come forward and report abuse.
Many victims choose not to report their sexual assault for fear of retaliation, blaming the victim, or simply not being believed.
Denim Day raises awareness about victim blaming and is used to educate others about sexual violence.
WE BELIEVE YOU
