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.

Emociones como el miedo, la tristeza, la ira o la fatiga son naturales tras un desastre. Sin embargo, si estos sentimientos se prolongan, o empiezan a interferir, podría ser una señal de que alguien necesita apoyo adicional de salud mental.
Es importante reconocer cuándo una reacción normal se transforma en algo más preocupante.
Ser consciente de esta distinción puede ayudar a las personas y a las comunidades a responder con compasión y a conectar a las personas con la ayuda que necesitan.
Si necesita ayuda, llame o envíe un mensaje de texto a la Línea de Ayuda para Desastres al 800-985-5990 y presione 2. ... See MoreSee Less
