Star? Roses and Plants donated 40 bare-root roses and 10 tree roses to LifeMoves Guadalupe Emergency Interim Housing community as part of a citywide beautification effort with City of San José Homeless Response Division. Clients recently planted and now care for the roses, gaining gardening skills and promoting responsibility and pride. This initiative fosters a sense of ownership and community, creating a welcoming environment as residents work toward stability and permanent housing. #lifemoves #lifemovesorg #webelieve #boldpossibilities #changemakers #roses #gardening #nonprofit #santaclaracounty #sanjose #bayarea #homeless #homelessness

"I'm 25 years old and I strive for a community where everybody can help each other out. A lot of people don't believe in that, but that mural gives me hope to keep going every day." - Gary Reid, a client of the County of San Mateo's Navigation Center. Bay Area artist Heather Hardison's new mural, created in partnership with the County and LifeMoves, is a vibrant celebration of connection, resilience, and community.

The Shinnyo-en Foundation, a philanthropic organization dedicated to peace and service, gave back in multiple ways—volunteering at Villa to support our clients firsthand and later hosting a retreat where Sarah Fields, MUP, LifeMoves Director of Community Engagement and Public Affairs, joined a panel of local leaders to discuss building a stronger, more supportive future for our unhoused neighbors.

We’re proud to stand with those who served. #lifemoves #lifemovesorg #webelieve #boldpossibilities #changemakers #veterans

Kevin Fagan, longtime San Francisco Chronicle reporter, has spent decades covering homelessness in the Bay Area. His new book, The Lost and the Found, is a deeply empathetic look at struggle, resilience, and second chances. We were honored to be part of a local conversation about his work.

At our Black History Month event, we celebrated with incredible food from Smitty’s Best BBQ & Catering and a powerful discussion on finding your “why”—the purpose that drives us. For many, it’s the strength of those who came before us. Together we pursue bold possibilities for our clients, communities, and our co-workers. #lifemoves #lifemovesorg #webelieve #changemakers #blackhistorymonth

Designed with input from those who have experienced homelessness, LifeMoves Branham Lane is an interim housing community that has vibrant building colors, and artwork throughout that makes it feel welcoming. #lifemoves #lifemovesorg #boldpossibilities #webelieve #changemakers #branham

LifeMoves Branham Lane walkways are designed for safety and sustainability. The grated flooring allows rainwater to flow through, preventing puddles and reducing the risk of slipping—smart design that keeps pathways clear and accessible in all weather. #lifemoves #lifemovesorg #boldpossibilities #webelieve #changemakers #branham
