Breaking the Cycle of Homelessness Formerly InnVision Shelter Network HOPE FAMILY HOME Annual Report 2016–2017 From Our CEO The past year was another very strong year for LifeMoves. We’ve continued to build on our financial stability and have the strongest balance sheet in years. As a result, we’ve continued strengthening and expanding our programs and services for an extremely vulnerable segment of our community. Our mission is to help homeless families and individuals rapidly return to stable housing and achieve self- sufficiency. We simply couldn’t do what we do without you—our public and private partners. Your generous contributions of time, talent, expertise, in-kind donations, and financial support continue to inspire us to achieve even better outcomes for our homeless neighbors. I’m pleased to share this annual report highlighting some of our successes in these efforts over the last year: • LifeMoves served over 10,000 people—highlighting the increasing need for our services and programs. About half of our clients stayed in our shelters: Of those, 93% of families and 72% of individuals who completed our program successfully exited to stable housing and are on their way to long-term self-sufficiency. • LifeMoves increased our 700 shelter beds last year to serve more single adults—a result of our strong public and private partnerships within Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties. We have plans to expand even further in the coming months and years. • Every night, half of our beds were, and continue to be, filled with children. In addition to all the basic necessities LifeMoves provides, all those children, their parents, and all our single adult clients have access to cutting-edge, evidence-based behavioral health programs. • We launched innovative new technology solutions to help us understand the efficacy of our multiple program components and to stay in contact with our clients after they leave our shelters. We are eager to share what we learn as we analyze the data and implement shifts in how we do what we do. On behalf of all those we exist to serve, please accept my sincere appreciation for all you’ve done to help make our work possible. With your ongoing support, we will continue to innovate and provide solutions to homelessness for our clients and our community in the coming years.
