Program areas at Lifemoves
Shelter & supportive services: during fy22, Lifemoves served 7,064 clients and provided over 288,000 nights of shelter across our 26 facilities in san mateo and santa clara counties. Our programs and services are effective: 82% of families who engaged in Lifemoves shelter programs and 65% of all who engaged in any Lifemoves shelter program exited to stable housing.
Services for veterans: during fy22, Lifemoves served 248 veteran households, consisting of 332 individuals (including 54 minor children) in Lifemoves shelters. We implement a "no fail" policy with each and every veteran household and our comprehensive service delivery model that helps clients address all of their housing barriers, including - especially for our veteran clients - behavioral health issues.
Services for chronically homeless individuals: during fy22, the Lifemoves homeless outreach team served 1,022 unsheltered homeless individuals living on the streets, providing services and supports designed to help them move them off the street and into shelters and/or permanent housing. In addition, Lifemoves provided 574 homeless individuals with drop-in services including basic necessities, hot meals, and case management. Because our chronically homeless clients are difficult to serve, have long histories of homelessness, often have criminal histories, and have alienated their families and support networks, they have many barriers to becoming stably housed and sustaining that housing. Our outreach and drop-in case managers help our homeless clients bridge those barriers to securing and sustaining stable housing.
Outreach and other shelter services - Lifemoves continues to be the largest provider of homeless shelters serving adults and children in silicon valley.
