What Siuslaw Outreach Services, Inc. does

Siuslaw Outreach Services, Inc. (SOS) is a private nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization headquartered in Florence, Oregon, delivering crisis intervention and prevention services to individuals and families in western Lane County since 1986. The agency was founded in 1985 as the Siuslaw Area Women's Center to provide a safe place for women and children fleeing domestic violence, expanded over four decades into a comprehensive crisis response organization, and was renamed Siuslaw Outreach Services Inc. in 2003 (officially registered with the IRS in 2012). Its service portfolio includes a 24/7 crisis hotline, emergency shelter and safe house, rapid rehousing, rent and utility assistance, domestic violence and sexual assault advocacy, homeless prevention (assisting approximately 100 households annually), energy assistance (LIHEAP and Project Care), transportation and prescription vouchers, self-sufficiency classes, and veteran-specific programs.

In 2025, SOS relocated into the Siuslaw Area Resource Center (SARC), a multi-agency facility with 12 offices, two telehealth rooms, dedicated support group meeting space, a family mediation room, a classroom, a clothing distribution room, a kitchen, a veteran-themed coffee room, and rental meeting spaces. The organization has no proprietary technology platform; service delivery is direct and human-led, supported by a 24/7 crisis hotline, drop-in services, appointment-based case management, and emergency shelter placements in motel rooms, campgrounds, and a safe house. SOS operates with a small paid staff (1–10 employees per the firmographic data) augmented by a substantial volunteer corps, including crisis line operators who complete 40 hours of specialized training.

The revenue model is a five-stream nonprofit funding stack: (1) unrestricted individual donations (one-time and monthly, tax-deductible), (2) government grants from Oregon Department of Justice, Oregon Department of Human Services, Lane County Human Services Commission, and the cities of Eugene and Springfield, (3) private foundation grants (Chambers Family Foundation, Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Indians), (4) facility rental income from SARC's meeting rooms rented to community groups, and (5) annual fundraising events — the Siuslaw Open Charity Golf Tournament (netting over $14,000 in 2024) and the Annual Soirée themed dinner. The agency distributed a record $700,000 in direct aid to clients during the 2020 pandemic year and serves over 2,500 at-need individuals annually. Bob Teter has served as Executive Director since 2017, supported by an 8-member Board of Directors.

• Raphael House of Portland: Portland-based nonprofit providing emergency shelter, DV advocacy, and housing services for survivors of domestic violence. Directly comparable in mission and service mix to SOS, operating as a regional crisis-response social services agency in Oregon.
• Bradley Angle: Oregon nonprofit offering domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking advocacy with emergency shelter, support groups, and youth services. Highly comparable service portfolio to SOS including crisis intervention and survivor advocacy.
• Human Solutions: East Multnomah County nonprofit providing housing, social services, and family self-sufficiency programs. Comparable to SOS in integrating housing assistance with case management and self-sufficiency education for low-income families.
• Looking Glass Community Services: Eugene, Oregon-based nonprofit providing crisis intervention, housing, and self-sufficiency programs for youth and families. Comparable as a Lane County-area social services agency with overlapping youth housing, family advocacy, and case management offerings.

Broad incumbents

• Catholic Charities of Oregon: Statewide faith-based social services organization providing housing, emergency assistance, and family support across Oregon. Comparable as a multi-program nonprofit funder/recipient of government grants, though operating across a much broader portfolio than SOS.

Acts as a regional peer/funder in western Lane County with overlapping target population but operating as a government entity rather than a nonprofit.
