“2018 accomplishments after 15 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 80% 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. 2018 has been a tremendous year for saranam. We welcomed 11 new families into and had 8 families successfully exit our program. Amazingly, we also saw our rate of successful exits increase in 2018, from 74% to an incredible 80% we also ran our successful "500 for 500" campaign in the spring of 2018, envisioned by jennifer riordan, which transformed a 500 life is good grant into over 250,000 in donations. The success of this campaign provides support to 10 families for a year, allowing us to stabilize our organization, now at the cusp of expansion. During the summer of 2018, saranam acquired use of the weil family center, which has allowed us to improve our childhood education programs and our volunteer participation, providing a great boon to our organization. We find ourselves at an exciting moment following 2018, with our organization poised to move from our origins as a grassroots organization into a more sophisticated, mature organization set on 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. 2018 outcomes since inception in 2004, saranam has served 122 homeless families in albuquerque, including 142 adults and 244 children. Our program has demonstrated a 80% success rate of families exiting the program having met more than three of our measures of success. Our 80% success rate indicates that when families exit, they are able to fully 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. Eight families successfully exited the program in 2018. We have remained in contact with 64% of families who exited one year or more ago. Of those families, 84% who left the program successfully remain stable after a year. This is incredible number of families: 24 45 children, 27 adults 48 different referral sources 11 new families were brought into saranam in 2018.

This year, we continued to establish effective methods to longitudinally track our measures of success and make plans to establish an aftercare programming to follow and support our families post-exit. These changes will enable us 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.
