| FORM 990, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 6 | VOLUNTEERS PROVIDED 4,133 HOURS OF DONATED TIME TO SARANAM. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | 2024 ACCOMPLISHMENTS AFTER 21 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 76% OF FAMILIES SUCCESSFULLY EXITING THE PROGRAM INTO PERMANENT, SAFE AND STABLE LIVING SITUATIONS, SARANAM IS A SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION TO FAMILY HOMELESSNESS. WE HAVE REMAINED IN CONTACT WITH AN INCREDIBLE 76% OF FAMILIES WHO EXITED ONE YEAR OR MORE AGO. OF THOSE FAMILIES, 82% WHO LEFT THE PROGRAM SUCCESSFULLY REMAIN STABLE AFTER A YEAR. 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 2024 WE WERE ABLE TO WELCOME 19 NEW FAMILIES INTO AND HAD 8/11 FAMILIES SUCCESSFULLY EXIT OUR PROGRAM. OUR ALUMNI PROGRAMMING SUPPORTED 14 INDIVIDUALS IN PROSPERITY WORKS'S 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 WE ALSO CONTRIBUTED TO 51 CHILDREN'S CHILD SAVINGS ACCOUNTS FOR THEIR POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION. SARANAM OCCUPIED THE FIRST PHASE OF OUR NEW ADC FAMILY CAMPUS WITH 9 NEW FAMILIES THIS YEAR OUR SECOND CAMPUS, WHEN COMPLETE, WILL MORE THAN DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF FAMILIES WE ARE ABLE TO SERVE EACH YEAR. THIS 3.5-ACRE PROPERTY WILL INCLUDE AN ADDITIONAL 23 RESIDENTIAL UNITS, PROGRAMMING SPACES, PLAYGROUNDS, OFFICES, DONATION CENTER AND GARDENS ALL DESIGNED TO BRING MORE FAMILIES INTO SELF-SUFFICIENCY. 2024 OUTCOMES SINCE INCEPTION IN 2004, SARANAM HAS SERVED 191 FAMILIES EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS IN ALBUQUERQUE, INCLUDING 216 ADULTS AND 409 CHILDREN. OUR PROGRAM HAS DEMONSTRATED A 76% SUCCESS RATE OF FAMILIES EXITING THE PROGRAM HAVING MET MORE THAN THREE OF OUR MEASURES OF SUCCESS. OUR 76% 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. IN 2024 WE SERVED 34 FAMILIES WITH 37 ADULTS AND 75 CHILDREN. 8/11 FAMILIES SUCCESSFULLY EXITED THE PROGRAM IN 2024. WE HAVE REMAINED IN CONTACT WITH AN INCREDIBLE 76% OF FAMILIES WHO EXITED ONE YEAR OR MORE AGO. OF THOSE FAMILIES, 82% 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 HAD DIRECT CONTACT WITH 96 ALUMNI FAMILIES IN 2024. 20 OF THE CHILDREN IN THOSE FAMILIES ARE NOW ADULTS (2GEN KIDS) AND MAINTAIN A RELATIONSHIP WITH SARANAM. WE OFFERED 14 INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT ACCOUNTS TO ALUMNI, AND HAD 51 CHILD SAVINGS ACCOUNTS. SARANAM'S 3 STEPS TO ENDING HOMELESSNESS AND POVERTY FOR FAMILIES. 1.HOUSING ENDS HOMELESSNESS 2.EDUCATION BRINGS EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. 3.COMMUNITY BUILDS CONNECTION. NUMBER OF FAMILIES: 34 75 CHILDREN, 37 ADULTS 19 NEW FAMILIES WERE BROUGHT INTO SARANAM IN 2024 UNDUPLICATED VOLUNTEERS: 1311 VOLUNTEER HOURS: 7125 IN 2024 20 STUDENTS ENROLLED IN THE FOLLOWING SCHOOLS: CENTRAL NEW MEXICO COMMUNITY COLLEGE (CNM), UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO (UNM), CARRINGTON COLLEGE, SOUTHWEST INDIAN POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE (SIPI) AND EASTERN NEW MEXICO UNIVERSITY (ENMU). THREE STUDENTS OBTAINED THEIR GED. OTHERS OBTAINED CERTIFICATES IN LICENSED PRACTICAL NURSING, CERTIFIED NURSING ASSISTANT, AND PHLEBOTOMY. ADULTS WERE PURSUING AND ENROLLED IN THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS: "BACHELOR DEGREE PROGRAMS IN LIBERAL ARTS, SOCIAL WORK AND NURSING; "ASSOCIATE DEGREE PROGRAMS IN NURSING (2), RADIOLOGY TECHNOLOGY (2), COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS, MEDICAL LAB TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, WELDING, HUMAN SERVICES (2), SOCIAL WORK AND PRE-ENGINEERING; "CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS IN COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER (4), FILM CREW TECHNICIAN, PHARMACY TECHNICIAN. ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY BUILDING AS PART OF THE PROCESS FOR VALIDATING OUR UNIQUE MODEL, WE HAVE UNDERGONE SUBSTANTIAL EVALUATION AND UPDATES TO OUR INTERNAL SYSTEMS. THIS YEAR, WITH CONTINUED SUPPORT FROM THE CARL C. ANDERSON SR. AND MARY JO ANDERSON CHARITABLE FOUNDATION, SARANAM CONTINUED WORK WITH THE UNM EVALUATION LAB. THIS YEAR, WE SHIFTED OUR FOCUS OUTWARD. THAT IS, OUR GOAL IS TO DESIGN AND ULTIMATELY IMPLEMENT THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND IMPACTFUL EXTERNAL STUDY POSSIBLE TO DEMONSTRATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF OUR PROGRAM. IN THE SPRING SEMESTER OF 2024, WE SET FORTH OUR THEORY OF CHANGE FOR OUR PROGRAM ALONG WITH THE UNDERLYING SOCIOECONOMIC RESEARCH AND NEUROSCIENCE EVIDENCE. ADDITIONALLY, WE CONTINUED OUR FOCUSED ALUMNI OUTREACH THAT PROVIDES AN ONGOING, AND RARE, OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO PURSUE AN EXTERNAL STUDY THAT TRACKS LONGITUDINAL EFFECTIVENESS OF OUR PROGRAM. WE BUILT THE TOOLS AND THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK FOR SARANAM TO ASSES THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PROGRAM AND IDENTIFY THE MOST APPROPRIATE STUDY DESIGN FOR US TO USE IN THE FUTURE TO OBTAIN EXTERNAL VALIDATION. IN THE FALL OF 2024, WE BEGAN YEAR 1 IN A 2-YEAR MIXED METHODS COHORT STUDY TO CREATE A PRE/POST/POST-POST TOOL TO MEASURE COHORT PROGRAM OUTCOMES OVER TIME. THE MIXED-METHODS COHORT STUDY, AS RECOMMENDED BY THE UNM EPIDEMIOLOGISTS, GENERATES THE STRONGEST EVIDENCE WHILE TAKING INTO ACCOUNT ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS AND LIMITATIONS TO SAMPLE SIZE. FURTHER, THIS WORK INCLUDES STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS OF THE POPULATION WE SERVE. ALSO THIS YEAR, THROUGH PARTNERING WITH UNM MPA FELLOWS, WE ARE UPDATING THE COST OF HOMELESS FAMILIES TO THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE, AS ANOTHER COMPONENT OF STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS. SARANAM'S LIFE CHANGING IMPACT IS CLEAR TO SEE IN THE JOY OF OUR FAMILIES DEVELOPING SELF-SUSTAINING LIVES. WHERE THE BENEFIT IS ALSO CLEAR IS IN THE ECONOMIC IMPACT. IN A COST ANALYSIS STUDY CONDUCTED IN 2022 UNM'S SCHOOL OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION FOUND THAT THE ESTIMATED ANNUAL COST OF A FAMILY EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS TO THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE AND AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS IS 110,834. IN 2024, SARANAM SERVED A WHOLE FAMILY ANNUALLY FOR 53,274. LAST YEAR SARANAM SERVED 34 FAMILIES, WHICH IS A SAVINGS TO OUR COMMUNITY OF MORE THAN 2.5 MILLION DOLLARS. |
