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.

Abril es el Mes de la Concientización sobre la Violencia Sexual (SAAM)
Hoy, 1ro de abril, reconocemos el #WearTealDay (Día de vestir de color verde azulado). Un día para unirnos como comunidad, apoyar a sobrevivientes y romper el silencio.
Vestir de este color es más que un símbolo... es un compromiso:
🩵 Creemos en las, los y les sobrevivientes.
🩵 Honramos sus historias.
🩵 Apoyamos su proceso de sanación.
En nuestras comunidades, el silencio no nos protege; la comunidad sí. Es tiempo de hablar, educarnos y crear espacios seguros donde todas, todos y todes podamos sanar.
✨ Sigamos la conversación.
✨ Sigamos apoyándonos.
✨ Sigamos sanando juntas, juntos y juntes.
Estamos aquí para ayudar. Nuestra Línea UNICA es bilingüe y está disponible las 24/7: (503) 232-4448.
