How We Help:
Crime Survivor Project
Promoting empowerment and justice for crime survivors
What We Do
The Crime Survivor Project provides services to people with disabilities who are survivors of crime, even if the crime has not been reported.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, people with disabilities are twice as likely as people without disabilities to experience crime. They also face major barriers to equal access to the criminal justice system and support services.
Who We Help
Crime survivor project services are here for you in Oregon.
We help children and adults with disabilities who have experienced crime — including sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and abuse — even if the crime has not been reported.
