“2021 accomplishments after 18 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. Alumni 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. 2021 continued to be a challenging year for saranam with the challenges of operating with covid-19. We were able to welcome 10 new families into and had 10/13 families successfully exit our program. Continuing our fundraising in a mostly remote process did ran a successful spring campaign which provides support to 10 families for a year. By the fall, we were able to shift our programming from all remote learning back to an in-person format. We were able to maintain both our adult and whole family classes as well as alumni activities. Our alumni programming enrolled 18 families into the prosperity works 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 two of these alumni were children while in saranam, saving for their higher education saranam began the silent phase of a 9.3 million capital campaign in early spring to more than double our services. We purchased 3.5 acres to develop a second site which will include an additional 25-residential units, programming spaces, playgrounds, offices, donation center and gardens all designed to bring more families into self-sufficiency. At the end of 2021, the board decided to include phases 2 and 3 into our overall fundraising and build goals prior to going public with the campaign. 2021 outcomes: since inception in 2004, saranam has served 152 homeless families in albuquerque, including 174 adults and 319 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. Ten/thirteen families successfully exited the program in 2021. We have remained in contact with an incredible 74% of families who exited one year or more ago. Of those families, 89% who left the program successfully remain stable after a year. This year we continued our alumni component to our programming, enabling us to continue to support family stability through added community, asset building and educational activities. We worked with 42 alumni families in 2021 with 57 adults and 66 children.
