IPRC was established in 1998.^[10] The organization operated on Portland's west side for its first fifteen years,^[11] above the Reading Frenzy at 921 Southwest Oak Street,^[12][13] near Powell's Books.^[14] The center relocated to a larger space at 1001 Southeast Division Street in 2012.^[10] IPRC had approximately 6,000 members, as of mid 2016.^[11]

IPRC faced a 300 percent rent increase when the April 2017 lease expired,^[11][15] causing the center to relocate to its current location in the Gardeners and Ranchers building.^[16] The organization crowdsourced more than $20,000 to help fund the new space.^[17] The IPRC moved to 318 SE Main Street in 2017.^[18]

Portland City Commissioner Chloe Eudaly served as the director of the IPRC before running for office in 2016.^[19] Former board president Brian Tibbetts was serving as interim executive director following A.M. O'Malley's departure, as of August 2017. Alley Pezanoski-Browne became the executive director in 2018,^[20] with Harper Quinn as the program director.^[16]
