If you have had a negative experience with a shelter or advocacy program, we recommend speaking directly with that organization's executive director or other management personnel.
If that fails to resolve the dispute, or you feel that the organization has treated you unfairly, you have the option of submitting a formal complaint to the Oregon Department of Human Services.
The Oregon Coalition Against Domestic & Sexual Violence does not have regulatory oversight or supervisory authority over our member programs. We provide training, research and other support to our member programs, in the interest of better serving survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking throughout the state.
