“Amazingly, saranam has had contact with 64% of families who exited one year or more ago. Of those families, 100% of those who left the program successfully remain stable after a year, and 67% of those who left saranam with significant progress in fewer than three measures of success were stable after one year of exit together, that means that whether families left successfully or not, one year later, of those whom we have been able to contact, 86% are stable number of families: 28 54 children, 28 adults 39 different referral sources 10 new families were brought into saranam in 2016. Unduplicated volunteers: 563 volunteer hours: 3733 saranam expands with a two-generational approach 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 our two-generational approach, the saranam children's programming provides access to on-site therapeutic services, as well as developmentally appropriate life skills classes that mirror some of the adult life skills classes. This gives family members a chance to practice their newly learned skills together. Children may also receive group or one-on-one tutoring, or participate in reading circles (for those in pre-school or who do not have homework). Enrichment activities--such as science, arts, music, theater, and yoga--are brought to the children and families each week. Saranam envisions expanding capacity in 2016, after a year of visioning and a year of feasibility study, saranam invited three groups of leaders to come together as teams representing various community sectors to find a way to double saranam's capacity in the next few years- business and property planning, capacity building, and funding strategies. Saranam is poised to scale our program model to serve additional homeless families in our community. Scalability is a challenge for many small- to mid-size programs. Our unique sustainable model for systemic change is highly replicable and adaptable to other communities, and appeals to multiple community sectors, including faith-based groups, government agencies, and private secular organizations. We believe our model can have a positive impact on the way our state and nation approach homelessness. We believe it can change for the better the lives of many families experiencing homelessness. Saranam can increase the number of families we serve, thereby moving into a place of greater community reach and visibility. These teams made recommendations that are incorporated into a clear business plan to strategically double the capacity of saranam. Bringing the education component in-house in 2016 an important lesson learned in 2016 revolved around a critical challenge. Our partner, which had provided adult basic education classes for more than ten years, raised its fees beyond what we could afford. Saranam staff and instructors applied creative thinking to devise an innovative solution and new approach to education that includes a coordinated, integrated curriculum. It features an overarching weekly theme that is incorporated into multiple program activities-basic adult education, adult life skills, children life skills, children's activities- for that week. Themes include values, self- determination, effective communication, goal setting and problem solving, time and life management, etc. Life skills classes for both adults and children revolve around these themes, and instructors weave them into adult basic education classes. With its launch in 2016, our new curriculum was well received and appreciated by families. 2016 graduations: "3 ged or high school equivalency "2 certificates from central new mexico community college (cnm) -certified nursing assistant,”
