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.

Summer camp offers growth and learning for our student leaders. It’s not just about organizing activities and supervising playtime; it’s about being present, listening to the kids' stories, and empowering them to explore their creativity and talents. It’s an opportunity for our counselors to deepen connections and be seen as genuine friends, not merely mentors. Read more about our student leaders' reflections on summer camp here: https://hubs.ly/Q02GrhQX0 #lifemoves #lifemovesorg #summercamp #kids

LifeMoves summer camp hires 12 nutrition coordinators to plan and prepare meals for kids and staff. We take immense pride in promoting health, wellness, and nutrition at camp, especially where nutritional inequity affects many of our kids.
