“2024 accomplishments after 21 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 76% of families successfully exiting the program into permanent, safe and stable living situations, saranam is a sustainable solution to family homelessness. We have remained in contact with an incredible 76% of families who exited one year or more ago. Of those families, 82% who left the program successfully remain stable after a year. 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. In 2024 we were able to welcome 19 new families into and had 8/11 families successfully exit our program. Our alumni programming supported 14 individuals in prosperity works's individual development accounts (savings targeted toward education, home buying, small business or vehicle purchase) program, supporting each person's savings with a 4:1 match we also contributed to 51 children's child savings accounts for their post-secondary education. Saranam occupied the first phase of our new adc family campus with 9 new families this year our second campus, when complete, will more than double the number of families we are able to serve each year. This 3.5-acre property will include an additional 23 residential units, programming spaces, playgrounds, offices, donation center and gardens all designed to bring more families into self-sufficiency. 2024 outcomes since inception in 2004, saranam has served 191 families experiencing homelessness in albuquerque, including 216 adults and 409 children. Our program has demonstrated a 76% success rate of families exiting the program having met more than three of our measures of success. Our 76% 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. In 2024 we served 34 families with 37 adults and 75 children. 8/11 families successfully exited the program in 2024. We have remained in contact with an incredible 76% of families who exited one year or more ago. Of those families, 82% who left the program successfully remain stable after a year.
