You can start by just showing up.

You don't have to label what's happening to reach out. This path covers the immediate steps for getting safe, how to access shelter (including culturally specific programs for LGBTQ+, Latina/o, Black, Native, and immigrant survivors), housing rights Oregon law gives you, and financial help available only to survivors.
