Organizations Filed Purposes: VISION-TO TRANSFORM THE LIVES OF HOMELESS FAMILIES MISSION-TO EMPOWER FAMILIES TO END THEIR HOMELESSNESS AND POVERTY THROUGH HOUSING, EDUCATION AND SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITIES.

2019 ACCOMPLISHMENTS AFTER 16 YEARS IN OPERATION, SARANAM HAS PROVIDED FAMILIES WITH SAFE HOUSING, PRACTICAL LIFE-SKILLS INSTRUCTION, A SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY, AND A PATHWAY TO SELF-SUFFICIENCY THROUGH EDUCATION. WITH 77% OF FAMILIES SUCCESSFULLY EXITING THE PROGRAM INTO PERMANENT, SAFE AND STABLE LIVING SITUATIONS, SARANAM IS A SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION TO FAMILY HOMELESSNESS. SARANAM'S APPROACH TO ENDING POVERTY AND HOMELESSNESS FOR FAMILIES IS AN INNOVATIVE TWO-GENERATIONAL STRATEGY, WHERE BOTH PARENTS AND CHILDREN RECEIVE SERVICES SIMULTANEOUSLY AND IN SYNC. OUR TWO-GENERATIONAL STRATEGY IS SUPPORTED BY A GROWING BODY OF ANTI-POVERTY RESEARCH THAT SHOWS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF MAKING BOTH PARENTS AND CHILDREN CHANGE AGENTS IN WORKING TO GET OUT OF POVERTY. 2019 HAS BEEN A TREMENDOUS YEAR FOR SARANAM. WE WELCOMED 10 NEW FAMILIES INTO AND HAD 7 FAMILIES SUCCESSFULLY EXIT OUR PROGRAM. WE ALSO RAN OUR SUCCESSFUL SPRING CAMPAIGN WHICH PROVIDES SUPPORT TO 10 FAMILIES FOR A YEAR, ALLOWING US TO STABILIZE OUR ORGANIZATION, NOW AT THE CUSP OF EXPANSION. SARANAM IS DEVELOPING PLANS TO EXPAND THESE VITAL SERVICES AND IS EMBARKING ON ITS MOST IMPORTANT ENDEAVOR TO DATE: THE EXPANSION AND DEVELOPMENT OF A SECOND SITE, AN ADDITIONAL 25-UNIT CAMPUS COMMUNITY DESIGNED TO BRING MORE FAMILIES INTO SELF-SUFFICIENCY. 2019 OUTCOMES SINCE INCEPTION IN 2004, SARANAM HAS SERVED 132 HOMELESS FAMILIES IN ALBUQUERQUE, INCLUDING 152 ADULTS AND 272 CHILDREN. OUR PROGRAM HAS DEMONSTRATED A 77% SUCCESS RATE OF FAMILIES EXITING THE PROGRAM HAVING MET MORE THAN THREE OF OUR MEASURES OF SUCCESS. OUR 77% SUCCESS RATE INDICATES THAT WHEN FAMILIES EXIT, THEY ARE ABLE TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES, INCLUDING PAYING FOR HOUSING, SUPPLIES, UTILITIES, ETC., ON THEIR OWN INCOME. THE LIFE SKILLS WE PROVIDE ENSURE THAT OUR FAMILIES ARE ABLE TO MAINTAIN AND SUSTAIN THESE OUTCOMES. SEVEN FAMILIES SUCCESSFULLY EXITED THE PROGRAM IN 2019. WE HAVE REMAINED IN CONTACT WITH AN INCREDIBLE 75% OF FAMILIES WHO EXITED ONE YEAR OR MORE AGO. OF THOSE FAMILIES, 86% WHO LEFT THE PROGRAM SUCCESSFULLY REMAIN STABLE AFTER A YEAR. THIS YEAR WE ADDED AN ALUMNI COMPONENT TO OUR PROGRAMMING, ENABLING US TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT FAMILY STABILITY THROUGH ADDED COMMUNITY AND EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES.

THIS YEAR, WE PURCHASED A NEW CLIENT DATABASE AND ADDED OPERATIONAL SUPPORT. THESE ADDITIONS INCLUDING ADDITIONAL STAFFING, WILL ENABLE US TO TRACK AND ANALYZE OUR DATA TO TELL THE STORY OF THE INCREDIBLE IMPACT WE HAVE ON FAMILIES OVER TIME, INCLUDING STORIES OF PAST FAMILIES WHO PURCHASE HOMES, MOVE INTO NEW EMPLOYMENT, OR BRING THEIR KIDS BACK TO JUST CHECK IN WITH US. ENVISIONING AN INCREASE OF CAPACITY OF FAMILIES SERVED WITH AN UPCOMING ADDITION OF A SECOND SITE, WE ALSO ADDED STAFFING SPECIFICALLY FOR DIRECT SERVICES WITH ALUMNI, CHILDREN'S PROGRAMMING AND VOLUNTEER COORDINATION. THESE ADDITIONS WILL HELP US SERVE OUR FAMILIES IN DEEPER WAYS AS WELL AS CONNECT THEM BACK TO OUR COMMUNITY AT LARGE THROUGH VOLUNTEERS. AFTER A MORE THAN 2-YEAR SEARCH, WE FINALLY LOCATED PROPERTY FOR OUR 2ND SITE, A NECESSARY STEP FOR OUR ENVISIONED EXPANSION. IN 2019, ALONGSIDE OUR CONTINUING EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF HOMELESS FAMILIES IN ALBUQUERQUE, WE SIGNED A PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR THE PROPERTY, WORKED ON PIECES OF DUE DILIGENCE IN THE PURCHASE AND BEGAN PLANNING FOR A CAPITAL CAMPAIGN TO MAKE OUR VISIONS OF EXPANSION A REALITY
