As we approach World Homeless Day, LifeMoves reaffirms that everyone deserves dignity and hope. With over 100 million people worldwide estimated to be experiencing homelessness, this day emphasizes the need for both local and global action. Last year, we served over 7,000 clients through outreach, housing, services, and prevention. By addressing local needs, we’re making a direct impact while standing in solidarity with the global fight to end homelessness. #lifemoves #lifemovesorg #worldhomelessday #webelieve #changemakers

Breaking the Cycle of Homelessness
About us
LifeMoves is the largest and most effective nonprofit committed to ending the cycle of homelessness for families and individuals in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties. Our successful and multi-faceted therapeutic service model combines clean, modern housing with intensive supportive services that promote dignity and respectfully motivate our clients to achieve autonomy. LifeMoves programs combat homelessness today – and tomorrow – by teaching comprehensive life skills that help our clients achieve long-term self-sufficiency, and effectively break the cycle of homelessness. Our innovative and effective program model requires accountability from our clients. The LifeMoves program helps clients understand the root cause of their homelessness and then focuses them on developing core competencies and the skills they need to succeed in the long-term. Similarly, our in-depth programming for children provides academic support to help bridge achievement gaps, and physical and mental health support to address the extensive issues caused by the trauma of homelessness. The focus is on maximizing opportunities for homeless youth to help them mature into self-sufficient adults and to end intergenerational poverty which leads to homelessness. The impact of LifeMoves programs and services is tremendous: Last year, 82% of families and 65% of individuals engaged in our shelter programs successfully returned to stable housing and self-sufficiency.

October is Filipino American History Month, a time to celebrate the rich history and contributions of the Filipino community. Today, we’re highlighting a few of our incredible team members. Meet Marissa (top right photo), our Lead Case Manager for CSJ Rapid-Rehousing: “Being Filipino isn’t just about my DNA, but about Kapwa—a deep sense of connection with others. This belief has shaped me into a better service provider. We do everything better, together.” Meet Tina (middle photo), our Annual Fund Manager: “To me, being Filipino American means honoring the sacrifices of my ancestors. It’s a spirit of caring and celebration that defines me—as a mother, colleague, and friend. I take pride in supporting others, feeding those around me, and being someone, my loved ones can always count on.” Finally, meet Tina (bottom right photo), our Vice President of Philanthropy -Head of the Principal Gifts Team: “When I reflect on my work at LifeMoves, my Filipino family comes to mind. We love people, and that joy and dedication shapes everything I do. I’m grateful to bring my family’s values and culture to my work.” We are proud to honor our Filipino American team members this month and every day! #lifemoves #lifemovesorg #filipinoamericanheritagemonth #filipinoamerican

Rising rents and soaring home prices put homeownership out of reach for many. LifeMoves believes in a future where every neighbor has a place to call home and together, we can make that a reality. What kind of community do you want to live in—one where housing is a privilege or a right for all? Your vote matters. #lifemoves #lifemovesorg #affordablehousing #housing

At LifeMoves, we see the impact of the affordable housing crisis every day. The shortage of housing options makes it harder for us to move people from interim housing to permanent homes. We remain committed to helping individuals and families find stability in this challenging market and work closely with the County of San Mateo and the County of Santa Clara to access more affordable housing options. #lifemoves #lifemovesorg #affordablehousing #housing

The median home price in the Bay Area just surpassed $2 million, setting a nationwide record. Meanwhile, the median rent is $3,900 monthly — 86% higher than the national average. With housing costs like these, affordable housing is increasingly out of reach for far too many. #lifemoves #lifemovesorg #affordablehousing #housing

According to the 2023 National Low Income Housing Coalition report, only 24 affordable units are available for every 100 extremely low-income households in California. Skyrocketing costs leave many renters and homeowners paying over 50% of their income on housing, forcing them to choose between essentials like food, healthcare, transportation, and keeping a roof over their heads. #lifemoves #lifemovesorg #affordablehousing #housing
