Shalom House

Our Story

Shalom House was founded in 1972 by Birger Johnson, who envisioned a safe haven for individuals struggling with mental illness. Inspired by his brother Torsten's challenging journey through various care facilities, Birger sought to create a supportive environment that would bridge the gap between institutional care and independent living. With the support of friends, churches, and community leaders, Shalom House opened its doors in Portland, Oregon, offering a compassionate space for healing and growth.

Today, Shalom House serves as a beacon of hope for adults living with mental illness, providing essential community-based mental health services and quality housing options that empower individuals to lead stable, fulfilling lives.
