Transformation through relationship and holistic health
Our approach to health is different
We wrap around Portland’s African Diaspora communities and help each family identify their unique needs and ways to improve their lives. We utilize a trauma-informed, systems-thinking approach firmly grounded in popular education and Polyvagal Theory to address physical, mental, emotional, and financial health, empower individuals, and create healthier families and communities.

"When I got to Portland, I was so relieved that AFHHO helped my family find a home in just a month! They’ve also helped us get some essentials for the house. I hope to get some help finding a job and getting my kids into school soon."

"I left Haiti in 2014, and the journey has been tough. AFHHO has really stepped up to help me, especially with housing. I’m hoping to keep getting support so I can find a stable place to live and build a better life."
