About Letty Owings Center
LOC was built around a recognition that for new mothers and pregnant women, the fear of losing custody is one of the biggest barriers to seeking treatment. By allowing women to live with their children throughout residential care, the program removes that worry and keeps families together during a time when separation can compound trauma for both mother and child.
On-site childcare runs through the facility’s own nursery and partnerships with nearby preschools and daycares. This allows mothers to attend individual and group counseling, trauma-informed therapy, and parenting classes while their children are cared for in the same building. Case managers help with family reunification planning, access to housing, benefits navigation, and connections to other CCC services in Portland’s broader housing and recovery network. Health staff supports prenatal and postpartum care, and there’s also acupuncture, tobacco cessation support, and transportation available throughout the stay.
What Makes Letty Owings Center Different?
Most residential programs require women to leave their children behind, which means many mothers never seek help at all. LOC was built specifically to close that gap. The combination of on-site childcare, prenatal and postpartum medical support, and wraparound case management means a woman doesn’t have to choose between her health and her child’s stability. Operating inside Central City Concern’s broader network also means LOC residents have direct access to housing support and recovery services that extend well beyond the residential stay itself.
