About Our House

With the help of amazing staff, dedicated volunteers, and exceptional supporters, Our House of Portland provides healthcare, housing, and other vital services to people in need in our community living with HIV.

Our House has been part of the Portland community since 1988. Our services have expanded, but our commitment to people living with HIV has remained the same. HIV is a complex and challenging disease that can often be overwhelming.

In 2022, Our House officially merged with Cascade AIDS Project (CAP), to further expand its service offerings and provide greater wraparound care for our clients!
