Saranam LLC
Our mission is to empower families to end their homelessness and poverty through housing, education and supportive communities.
Saranam is an innovative, two-generational program that helps families experiencing homelessness in New Mexico achieve long-term self-sufficiency and break cycles of generational poverty. During our two-year program, families live in a safe, fully furnished transitional apartment with a community of their peers. This stable home provides a platform for the intensive education, life skills, and community building that families undertake during their time at Saranam. Through their studies, families gain skills that will enable them to sustain positive outcomes and increase their long-term earning potential. After 16 years, we have served 142 families, including 298 children. Most importantly, 76 percent of our families successfully exit our program into safe, stable living situations on their own income. Visit our website to learn more about how you can be a part of the work to end homelessness in our community and keep up to date on our program and familiesโ accomplishments on their journey home.

๐ All kinds of bonds are strengthened and formed at the Saranam. These snapshots capture the parental bonds growing with their newborn and new friendships forming.
๐ฟ Every spring and summer we welcome families experiencing homelessness to Saranam. Each group, or cohort, starts their two-year journey out of homelessness together. They live in the same apartment complex as neighbors, classmates, and friends. By sharing experiences they create bonds that will sustain them when they leave Saranam.

๐ Community is one of the pillars in our mission. This image is displayed in our Weil Family Center.
๐ค We INCLUDE, RESPECT, and SUPPORT each other in many ways. All the families agree to these while they are together in community at family night or gatherings. The children and adults made the colorfully collaged houses.
