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 32,000 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.

We are honored and excited to be part of the 73Foster community! 💙
We joined REACH Community Development , community partners, local leaders, and supporters to celebrate the opening of 73Foster, an important milestone in expanding access to affordable housing and creating opportunities for individuals and families to build a more stable future.
At El Programa Hispano, we are proud to be a collaborative partner in this project, providing Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) services and wraparound support to individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness. Through culturally responsive, person-centered services, our commitment is to walk alongside residents, help connect them with essential resources, strengthen their stability, and support them as they build a place to call home.
We believe that housing is more than a roof over someone’s head. It is the foundation for dignity, belonging, opportunity, and a fresh start. Being part of 73Foster reflects the power of collaboration and what we can accomplish when organizations, public agencies, and community partners come together around a shared vision.
We are deeply grateful to REACH Community Development and all the partners who made this project possible. We look forward to continuing this work together and welcoming residents into a community where they can feel supported, valued, and at home.
Together, we are building more than housing. We are building stronger, more connected communities. 💙

¡Nos llena de alegría y orgullo ser parte de la comunidad de 73Foster! 💙
Hoy nos unimos a REACH Community Development, organizaciones aliadas, líderes locales y miembros de la comunidad para celebrar la inauguración de 73Foster, un nuevo desarrollo de vivienda asequible que ofrece 64 hogares en Portland y abre nuevas oportunidades para que personas y familias construyan un futuro con mayor estabilidad.
En El Programa Hispano nos sentimos muy orgullosos de ser parte de esta importante colaboración, ofreciendo servicios de Vivienda de Apoyo Permanente (Permanent Supportive Housing – PSH) y acompañamiento integral a personas que están saliendo de situaciones de falta de vivienda. A través de servicios culturalmente sensibles y centrados en las personas, nuestro compromiso es caminar junto a cada residente, facilitar su conexión con recursos esenciales, fortalecer su estabilidad y apoyarlos en la construcción de una nueva etapa en sus vidas.
Creemos que tener un hogar significa mucho más que contar con un techo. Significa dignidad, estabilidad, pertenencia, oportunidades y la posibilidad de comenzar de nuevo. Ser parte de 73Foster refleja el poder de la colaboración y todo lo que podemos lograr cuando organizaciones, instituciones públicas y aliados comunitarios trabajamos unidos por una visión compartida.
Agradecemos profundamente a REACH Community Development y a todas las organizaciones y personas que hicieron posible este proyecto. Nos entusiasma continuar trabajando juntos y dar la bienvenida a los residentes a una comunidad donde se sientan acompañados, valorados y en casa.
Juntos construimos mucho más que viviendas: construimos comunidades más fuertes, solidarias y llenas de oportunidades. 💙
