About Kinship House

Kinship House provides a unique blend of essential child welfare and mental health services to children and families during all stages of foster care and adoption. We have been open since October 1996 as a small and easily accessible agency. Our clinicians are experts, and effective. We are governed by a representative board, have an exceptional staff, and are supported through a diversity of donors, funding sources and community groups.

Our History & Our House

Kinship House is located in a homelike facility in Northeast Portland's Historic Irvington District. Our warm house welcomes children into a cozy environment with familiar faces and offers a professional alternative to cold institutional buildings. Click for More Info
