The State of Oregon has voted to invest $2 million in a new permanent facility for SafeSpace Child Advocacy Center of the Columbia Gorge. The investment is among the projects approved for funding with the passage of HB-5202 by Oregon’s House and Senate at the end of the short 2022 Legislative Session. The investment represents a big leap forward for SafeSpace’s capital campaign to create a permanent facility supporting children who are victims of abuse, neglect or maltreatment.
