LifeMoves Strategic Plan
FY2027–FY2029
How We Help People Move Home
Lasting housing stability takes more than a safe place to stay. It requires an approach grounded in understanding each person’s needs, building trust through consistent engagement, and continually improving what works.
Our approach is built on three essential practices:
The Need Is Changing. So Are We.
Homelessness across Santa Clara and San Mateo counties is becoming increasingly complex. Families, older adults, and people experiencing homelessness for the first time face significant barriers to finding and maintaining stable housing.
At the same time, shifting public funding and growing community needs demand new approaches, stronger partnerships, and more effective solutions.
LifeMoves is responding with a clear commitment: build on what works, improve how we serve our clients, and strengthen the pathways that lead to lasting housing stability.
Our FY2027–FY2029 Strategic Plan provides a roadmap for doing just that.
A Stronger Path to Permanent Housing
Over the next three years, LifeMoves will focus on helping more people move from homelessness into permanent housing—and remain housed.
We’ll strengthen the quality and consistency of our services, invest in our people and operations, deepen regional partnerships, and use research and innovation to improve outcomes.
Our goal is not simply to provide more services. It’s to help more people achieve lasting housing stability while contributing to a stronger, more effective regional response to homelessness.
Four Priorities. One Goal.
Our strategic plan focuses on four interconnected priorities that will guide our work through FY2029. Together, they strengthen how we serve clients, operate our programs, collaborate with partners, and learn from what works.
Innovation connects everything we do. By applying research, data, and continuous learning across our work, we can improve client outcomes, strengthen operations, and help our partners advance more effective solutions.
What Success Looks Like
Our North Star guides how we define success: more people moving into permanent housing and staying housed.
As we implement this plan, we’ll focus on four outcomes:
We’ll measure our progress, learn from our results, and use those insights to continually improve how we serve our community.
Moving More People Home Takes All of Us
Our strategic plan depends on the commitment of donors, volunteers, government leaders, businesses, and community partners who share our belief that everyone deserves a home. Did you know that among single adults, LifeMoves clients who received six or more therapy sessions were twice as likely to move into permanent housing and increase their income? When people get the individualized support they need, they are more likely to find stability and keep it. Your support helps make that care possible for more of our neighbors. Join us in moving more people home.
