After 25 years of assistance to the Metro area’s Latino community, El Programa Hispano, a leading social service organization, has moved to a larger Gresham facility and is expanding its efforts.
The mission of the nonprofit, which is part of Catholic Charities, is to increase self-sufficiency among Latinos. The bilingual and bicultural services it provides include advocacy, domestic violence and sexual assault assistance, mental health and addiction treatment and counseling, educational support for youth and adults, gang prevention, anti-poverty services, skill building and outreach to elderly Latinos.”*
