The West Coast’s First Domestic Violence Shelter

Bradley Angle

Who We Are

Bradley Angle was founded in 1975, by women who had enough violence for a lifetime and were ready to change their lives. Named for Sharon Bradley and Pam Angle, who died from the violence of living on the streets in Portland, Oregon, Bradley Angle was the first domestic violence shelter on the West Coast. Today we provide a continuum of domestic violence and sexual assault support services for survivors and their children.

We serve individuals and families of all backgrounds, cultures, ages, and sexual orientations. Through all Bradley Angle programs, we continue to plant the seeds of social change.

Our dream is to end sexual and domestic violence in all its forms.

Mission

The Bradley Angle mission is to offer survivors of domestic and sexual violence options for safety, empowerment, healing and hope, while collaborating with our communities to create social change.

  • We empower individuals and communities to take action and eliminate domestic violence from their lives.
  • We are committed to demystifying domestic violence and to giving voice to those touched by it.
  • We offer a safe, non-judgmental and welcoming environment for all domestic violence survivors, offering individualized services that meet a wide range of cultural and personal needs.
  • We believe all people, regardless of race, age, gender identity, background, sexual orientation or religion, deserve to live in a world where physical, emotional, and sexual abuse are not tolerated.
