How Oregon’s Situation Looks Right Now

Oregon’s own auditors reported 532 domestic-violence-related deaths across 393 incidents from 2009–2019, and more than a third of adults here will experience domestic violence in their lifetimes. This isn’t a small issue—and it affects access to housing, legal help, child care, and steady work. (oregoncapitalchronicle.com, opb.org)

Shelter networks and court protections exist, but the system can be slow and confusing, especially when you are keeping kids safe, holding a job, and trying to move in a hurry. This guide focuses on fast, practical steps that single mothers in Oregon can use today, with direct links, real phone numbers, benefit amounts, and Plan B options if the first route doesn’t work.

Fastest Safety Steps You Can Take Today

• Make a short safety plan: Decide a safe place to go, who will pick up the kids, a code word with a trusted friend, and how to secure your phone location settings. Local advocates can help you safety‑plan—call 503-235-5333 or 888-235-5333 to reach Call to Safety. (ocadsv.org, multco.us)
• File for a FAPA restraining order if it fits your situation: You can apply at your county courthouse or start online using OJD Guide & File protective orders. It’s free to file, and if the other party asks for a hearing, it must generally be held within 21 days; custody-related challenges can be heard within 5 days. (courts.oregon.gov, womenslaw.org)
• Request emergency cash for safety through TA‑DVS: ODHS can pay landlords or vendors for things like deposits, first month’s rent, lock changes, security cameras, and replacement essentials you left behind—up to $3,200 within 90 days. Start at 800-699-9075 or TA‑DVS. (oregon.gov)
• Protect your address and paper trail: Ask an advocate to enroll you in the free Oregon Address Confidentiality Program so you can use a substitute address for DMV, schools, child support, and more. ACP phone 503-373-1323 or 888-559-9090. (doj.state.or.us)
• Reach local shelter advocates now: If you’re in the Portland tri‑county area, try any of these 24/7 lines: Call to Safety 503-235-5333/888-235-5333; Raphael House 503-222-6222; Clackamas Women’s Services 503-654-2288/888-654-2288. For other counties, see the regional section below. (ocadsv.org, raphaelhouse.com, cwsor.wordpress.com)
• Use 988 for emotional crisis support anytime: Call or text 988, or chat online for free and confidential support; Spanish options available. (988lifeline.org)

Oregon Protective Orders and Court Help

Family Abuse Prevention Act (FAPA) Restraining Orders

• What it does: Orders the abuser not to contact you, your home, your work, or your children’s schools; judges can also order the abuser to leave your home. Filing is free. (osbar.org)
• How to start quickly: Use OJD Guide & File for protection orders to answer step‑by‑step questions from any device. You can e‑submit in many counties or print and file at your circuit court clerk’s office. (courts.oregon.gov)
• Timelines to expect: If the other party asks for a hearing, courts typically hold it within 21 days; if temporary custody is in your order, hearings can be scheduled within 5 days. (womenslaw.org)
• Languages and disability access: Courts provide translated forms and interpreters; ask the clerk or facilitator.

What to do if this doesn’t work:

• Contact local legal aid for help preparing for the hearing; see Oregon Law Center offices or statewide Public Benefits Hotline 800-520-5292. (oregonlawcenter.org, oregonlawhelp.org)
• Ask your county Victim Assistance Program to help you navigate hearings and notifications; find your county’s office on the Oregon DOJ directory. (doj.state.or.us)

Money for Safety, Moving, and Starting Over

Temporary Assistance for Domestic Violence Survivors (TA‑DVS)

• Benefit amount: Up to $3,200 in a 90‑day period; you can receive help more than once a year if needed. Payments go directly to landlords or vendors for safety‑related costs. (oregon.gov)
• What TA‑DVS can cover: Rental deposits, first or last month’s rent, utility deposits, arrears if it keeps you housed, lock changes, security cameras, PO boxes, transportation to leave, and replacing essential items you had to leave behind. (oregon.gov)
• Eligibility basics: Live in Oregon; meet TANF income rules; be pregnant or caring for a minor child; be at risk of domestic violence now or in the future. Talk through eligibility with ODHS to stay safe. (oregon.gov)
• How to apply: Call your local ODHS Self‑Sufficiency office or the statewide line 800-699-9075, or visit the ODHS Domestic Violence Services portal. Staff can help you apply in person, by phone, or by email/fax. (oregon.gov)
• Reality check: TA‑DVS decisions and vendor payments can move fast when life and safety are at stake, but same‑day payments are not guaranteed—have a back‑up plan.

What to do if this doesn’t work:

• Call local DV programs—some have emergency hotel or flexible funds. Use 211 (866-698-6155) to locate options in your county during open hours. (211info.org)
• Ask about OHP housing supports below if you’re on the Oregon Health Plan and meet HRSN rules. (oregon.gov)

Help With Food, Cash, Child Care, and Health Coverage

These are not DV‑specific, but they are the backbone supports many single moms need during a move.

TANF Cash Assistance

SNAP Food Benefits

• Maximum monthly amounts for FY 2025 (Oct 2024–Sep 2025) in Oregon: Household of 1 $292\ast \ast ;\ast \ast 2\ast \ast \ast \ast$536; 3 $768\ast \ast ;\ast \ast 4\ast \ast \ast \ast$975; 5 $1,158\ast \ast ;\ast \ast 6\ast \ast \ast \ast$1,390; 7 $1,536\ast \ast ;\ast \ast 8\ast \ast \ast \ast$1,756; add $220 for each additional person. (fns.usda.gov)
• Apply fast: Online at ONE, by phone with ODHS 800-699-9075, or ask your local DV advocate to help you apply from a safe location. (oregon.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work:

• Ask about expedited SNAP, which can start within 7 days if you have extremely low money on hand and income; your ODHS worker can screen you for this. (See SNAP COLA page for standards.) (fns.usda.gov)

Employment Related Day Care (ERDC) Child Care

• Who qualifies: Families under 200% of the Federal Poverty Level at initial approval (higher thresholds—up to 250% FPL or 85% of State Median Income—can apply when renewing) with a work or school schedule. 2025 monthly 200% FPL examples: family of 3 $4,442\ast \ast ;\ast \ast 4\ast \ast \ast \ast$5,359; 5 $6,275. (law.cornell.edu, regulations.justia.com)
• Copays and coverage: Oregon’s ERDC has expanded hours for night shift, travel, and study time; copays vary by income with charts posted by the Department of Early Learning and Care. (oregon.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work:

• Call 211info Child Care (via 211) to explore licensed providers, Preschool Promise, and waitlists; text “children” to 898211. (211info.org)

Oregon Health Plan (OHP) and Housing‑Related Supports

• OHP coverage: Free coverage for medical, dental, and behavioral health. Adults up to 200% FPL may qualify under OHP Bridge; no premiums or copays. (oregon.gov)
• Health‑Related Social Needs (HRSN) housing benefits for eligible OHP members: For members who meet medical and risk criteria, OHP can fund up to 6 months of rent and utilities (including arrears), storage, tenancy supports, and home safety improvements. Processing is not immediate and can take weeks. Your CCO or OHA can advise you on eligibility and timing. (oregon.gov, careoregon.org)

What to do if this doesn’t work:

• If eviction is imminent, contact your local Community Action Agency for emergency rental help and ask a DV advocate about motel funds while HRSN is pending. OHA notes HRSN is not an emergency program. (oregon.gov)

Job and Income Protection When Abuse Disrupts Work

Paid Leave Oregon Safe Leave

• What it is: Up to 12 weeks of paid safe leave (up to 14 for pregnancy‑related limits) to address domestic violence, stalking, harassment, or bias crimes—covering things like court, safety planning, relocation, and counseling. Job protection applies if you’ve worked 90 days for your employer. (paidleave.oregon.gov, oregon.gov)
• How benefits pay: Benefit equals a percentage of your wages using a progressive formula; the maximum weekly benefit equals 120% of Oregon’s State Average Weekly Wage. For benefit years starting on or after July 6, 2025, that maximum is $1,636.56\ast \ast ;theminimumis\ast \ast$68.19. (Numbers set annually by OED.) Apply via Frances Online. (paidleave.oregon.gov, kykn.com, vensure.com)
• Notice rules: For planned leave, give your employer 30 days notice when you can; for unplanned leave, tell them within 24 hours and follow up in writing within 3 days. You can self‑attest if documentation would put you at risk. (paidleave.oregon.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work:

• Contact BOLI if your employer refuses safe leave or retaliates. See BOLI’s DV protections and call for help. (oregon.gov)

Oregon Sick Time and DV Accommodations

• Sick time: All workers earn at least 1 hour of protected sick time for every 30 hours worked, up to 40 hours per year; paid for employers of 10+ (or 6+ in Portland). Sick time can be used for DV‑related care. (oregon.gov)
• DV protections at work: All employers must provide reasonable safety accommodations (schedule changes, transfers, locks, phone changes, unpaid leave) and keep your information confidential. Employers with 6+ employees must allow reasonable leave for legal, medical, counseling, and relocation steps. (oregon.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work:

• File a complaint with BOLI or ask legal aid to write a letter asserting your rights. (oregon.gov)

Unemployment Insurance if You Had to Leave Work

• Good cause: If you quit or lost your job due to domestic violence and can’t safely remain employed there, Oregon law recognizes DV‑related “good cause” in evaluating benefits and work search. Check with OED and note the required waiting week. (unemployment.oregon.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work:

• Appeal and add DV documentation (protective order, police report, advocate letter) to your record; legal aid can assist. (oregonlawcenter.org)

---

Housing Rights and Moving Safely

Federal VAWA Housing Protections

• Emergency transfers: If you are in covered HUD/USDA housing or have a voucher, you can request an emergency transfer when you fear imminent harm or after a sexual assault on the premises within 90 days. Providers must keep your new address confidential. (hud.gov, law.cornell.edu)
• No eviction for being a victim: VAWA prevents denial or termination of housing just because you are a survivor. Ask your PHA or landlord for their VAWA notice and transfer plan.

What to do if this doesn’t work:

• Call your PHA’s VAWA coordinator and ask for the emergency transfer plan and VAWA forms, or contact legal aid to enforce your rights. (hud.gov)

Oregon Address Confidentiality Program (ACP)

• What it does: Gives you a substitute mailing address that you can use for DMV, schools, child support, and court records. Apply through a Certified Application Assistant. ACP phone 503-373-1323 or 888-559-9090. (doj.state.or.us)

What to do if this doesn’t work:

• Ask a local advocate (DV program or county Victim Assistance) to help enroll—staff know where to find Application Assistants by county. (doj.state.or.us)

Oregon Health Plan HRSN Housing Support

• What to know: For OHP members meeting health and risk criteria, CCOs can fund up to 6 months of rent, utility help, storage, tenancy supports, and safety‑related home modifications. Expect 2–6+ weeks for processing depending on the CCO and volume. (oregon.gov, careoregon.org)

What to do if this doesn’t work:

• Ask 211info HRSN intake how to submit your request and what documents you need, and connect with your CCO’s HRSN team. (eocco.com)

---

Transportation, Phones, and Everyday Logistics

• TriMet reduced fare for low‑income riders: If you live in the Portland tri‑county area and your income is under 200% FPL (or you receive SNAP, TANF, OHP), you can ride with an Honored Citizen Hop card—$28 per month unlimited. Apply online; bring ID. (trimet.org)
• Oregon Lifeline: Get a monthly discount up to $15.25\ast \ast forphoneor\ast \ast$19.25 for internet, or free cell service through Access Wireless depending on availability. Tribal members on Tribal lands can receive an additional $25 monthly discount and installation help via Link Up. Call the Oregon PUC 800-848-4442 to apply. (oregon.gov, lifelinesupport.org)

What to do if this doesn’t work:

• Ask your DV program about bus passes or gas cards—many programs keep small transportation funds for urgent needs. Use 211 to find those. (211info.org)

---

Crime Victims’ Compensation (CVC): What It Pays and What It Doesn’t

Oregon’s CVC program can reimburse many crime‑related expenses after a DV assault. It does not provide immediate cash and does not pay for relocation. Typical benefits include:

• Medical and counseling: Up to $20,000 (includes grief counseling for family).
• Counseling for children who witnessed DV: Up to $10,000.
• Loss of earnings/support: Up to $800 per week within the program cap.
• Funeral costs: Up to $5,000.
• Crime scene cleanup: Up to $2,500.
• Transportation for medical care: Up to $3,000 (distance rules apply).

Learn more and apply through the Oregon DOJ CVC program. (doj.state.or.us)

What to do if this doesn’t work:

• Ask your county Victim Assistance Program to help with the application and required documentation; find the phone for your county in DOJ’s directory. (doj.state.or.us)

Diverse Communities

• LGBTQ+ single mothers: You can use Paid Leave Oregon’s safe leave and all DV resources regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. For LGBTQ survivors, ask Call to Safety for affirming services and referrals; Deaf/Hard‑of‑Hearing survivors can contact Bridges Oregon after‑hours at 971-375-0672 (call/FaceTime) or 503-339-3566 (video phone), or the National Deaf Hotline 855-812-1001. See Raphael House resource list with Deaf lines. (raphaelhouse.com)
• Single mothers with disabilities or disabled children: Ask courts and ODHS for accommodations and non‑public hearing options. Transportation through TriMet’s reduced fare can lower costs to $28/month in the metro area. (trimet.org)
• Veteran single mothers: You can press 1 when calling 988 to reach the Veterans Crisis Line, and you have VAWA housing protections. (fcc.gov)
• Immigrant and refugee single moms: You can receive emergency help like TA‑DVS and many services regardless of immigration status. For immigration relief (VAWA self‑petition, U visa), contact Oregon Law Center or county Victim Assistance for referrals. (doj.state.or.us)
• Tribal‑specific resources: StrongHearts Native Helpline 844-762-8483 is 24/7 and culturally specific. If you live on Tribal lands, Oregon Lifeline can add $25\ast \ast tomonthlyphone/internetdiscountsandprovideLinkUpinstallationhelpupto\ast \ast$100. (thehotline.org, lifelinesupport.org)
• Rural single moms: Expect longer travel times for court and services. Ask your program about hotel vouchers, mileage reimbursement for medical care via CVC (up to $3,000), and telephone/video court options if travel is unsafe. (doj.state.or.us)
• Single fathers: All protections and programs in this guide apply to you too.
• Language access: Courts and agencies provide interpreters; Call to Safety and many hotlines use language lines so you can speak in your preferred language. (ocadsv.org)

---

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using shared phones or emails for applications when the abuser monitors accounts. Set up a new email and enable two‑factor authentication before you file.
• Waiting to file a protective order until “proof” is perfect. FAPA allows you to file based on sworn information and recent incidents; your judge can act quickly even before the other party is served. (osbar.org)
• Not telling ODHS or your worker about safety risks. Oregon has “good cause” waivers for DV so you don’t have to comply with child support cooperation or work rules that put you in danger. (oregon.public.law)
• Expecting Crime Victims’ Compensation to pay immediately or for moving costs. CVC reimburses approved expenses and does not cover relocation; use TA‑DVS for moving‑related needs. (doj.state.or.us)

---

What If Plan A Fails

• Couldn’t get a same‑day order? Ask the court facilitator about safety planning and temporary arrangements; call a local advocate to help you re‑file or prepare for the contested hearing. (courts.oregon.gov)
• TA‑DVS funds delayed? Ask your ODHS worker if a partial vendor payment is possible while you wait, and have your advocate request motel funds through local DV programs. (oregon.gov)
• Shelters full? Ask about Coordinated Access in your county (Multnomah uses an SSA screening) and look at hotel vouchers or short‑term rentals through TA‑DVS. (raphaelhouse.com)
• Employer refuses safe leave? File a BOLI complaint and ask legal aid to document retaliation. (oregon.gov)

---

Frequently Asked Questions (Oregon‑Specific)

• How fast can I get a restraining order approved: Many courts review petitions the same or next business day; if the other party requests a hearing, it is typically held within 21 days, or 5 days if custody is challenged. (womenslaw.org)
• Is there any cost to file a FAPA restraining order: No. Oregon does not charge filing fees for protective orders. (oregonlawhelp.org)
• What if I need to move kids’ schools without revealing our new address: Ask your advocate to enroll you in the ACP first, then use the substitute address for school records. (doj.state.or.us)
• Can I get help paying a past‑due bill if I can stay safely by catching up: Yes—TA‑DVS can pay a one‑time arrearage when it keeps you safely housed. Up to $3,200 total in 90 days. (oregon.gov)
• Will CVC pay to move me: No. Oregon’s CVC does not cover relocation; it reimburses medical/counseling, lost wages, funeral, transportation, and related expenses. (doj.state.or.us)
• Can I take time off work for court without being fired: Yes. Oregon law requires safety accommodations and reasonable leave; employers with 6+ employees must allow DV‑related leave. (oregon.gov)
• How much will Paid Leave Oregon pay me during safe leave: It depends on your wages; the cap is 120% of SAWW (currently $1,636.56\ast \ast maxweeklyfornewbenefityearsstarting\ast \ast July6,2025\ast \ast ;minimum\ast \ast$68.19). (kykn.com, vensure.com)
• Can I get childcare help if I’m a student: Yes. ERDC no longer requires work if you are a student; it also covers study time and travel time. (oregon.gov)
• I’m scared that child support will tip off my ex to our location: Tell ODHS you need a good‑cause exemption from cooperation; your information can be kept confidential and child support can be paused to protect you and your child. (oregon.public.law)
• I need an Oregon phone and data to make calls safely but can’t afford it: Apply for Oregon Lifeline for free or discounted service; Tribal lands add $25 per month. Call 800-848-4442. (oregon.gov)

---

Real‑World Examples

• Moving in one weekend with TA‑DVS: A mom in Salem used TA‑DVS to cover a deposit, first month’s rent, and lock changes within the 90‑day window after a police‑documented incident. Payments went directly to the landlord and locksmith, and she used SNAP to stretch her grocery budget while she settled in. (oregon.gov, fns.usda.gov)
• Keeping a job using safe leave: Another mom in Bend took Paid Leave Oregon safe leave to attend court and relocate, then used ERDC to stabilize childcare so she could return to work—her weekly benefit replaced most of her paycheck, capped at $1,636.56. (paidleave.oregon.gov, vensure.com)
• Hiding a new address from school records: A Portland mom enrolled in ACP and then updated kids’ school files with the substitute address so the abuser couldn’t locate them. (doj.state.or.us)

---

Finding Legal Help

• Oregon Law Center and Legal Aid Services of Oregon: Free civil legal help (family safety, housing, benefits). Find your local office or call the Public Benefits Hotline 800-520-5292. (oregonlawcenter.org, oregonlawhelp.org)
• County Victim Assistance Programs: Advocates in every District Attorney’s office can help with rights, notifications, and safety planning. Use the Oregon DOJ directory to find your county’s phone. (doj.state.or.us)

---

About the Data and Why It Matters

• Oregon’s recent numbers: 532 Oregonians died in domestic‑violence‑related incidents from 2009–2019; in 2022 there were at least 43 DV‑related homicides statewide, 74% involving firearms. (oregoncapitalchronicle.com, publichealth.jhu.edu)
• Capacity limits are real: Some crisis and 211 lines have constrained hours or long waits; if you can’t get through, try text or email options and ask advocates to call you at a safe time. (211info.org)
