Helping resource families get the support they need
Resource, adoptive, guardianship, kinship, and relative care families are on a journey, but you don't have to walk it alone. We provide the advocacy, resources, and community you need to succeed.
- A Unified Voice
- Critical Resources
- Deep Community
We've Been Supporting Families Like Yours Since 1996
The Oregon Resource Family Alliance (ORFA) understands the weight of the responsibility you carry. We know the best outcomes come from supporting the whole family. As a statewide association, we leverage decades of experience to improve the quality of the system. Our mission is simple: Make Oregon resource homes the best they can be.
Providing care for kids is rewarding but the system can be overwhelming.
Many resource families feel isolated, undervalued, or unsure of how to navigate the complexities of the system.
Feeling Unsupported?
We connect you with local resources – from training to tools to real-life support, you will have what you need right when you need them—so you’re equipped, empowered, and never alone.
Lacking a Voice?
We’re your voice at the Capitol—taking action, pushing for change, and fighting for policies that lift up resource families across Oregon.
Need Community?
We have a community that truly “gets it”. Step into a community of families who understand the journey, cheer you on, and show up with real encouragement, real solutions, and real heart.
