Demand is up, yet funding is tight. In 2025, we balanced a 9% increase in street populations with the strictest budget controls in our history.
Our outreach teams are on the streets 7 days a week, giving us a front-row seat to a growing crisis. Total unique individuals on the street increased by 9% this year. The data is sobering: for every 20 people we encounter, 5.4 are young adults. In total, we served 517 young adults in 2025βa record high. This year, weβve seen the "full circle" of care: clients we first met downtown now engaging at our facility and meeting us again on truck outreach in San Marcos. Once basic needs like food and clothing are met, real guidance happens right there on the sidewalk. Simultaneously, we have navigated a "break-even" year and prepared for a 2026 defined by careful discernment. An unstable ministry benefits no one, so we are prioritizing reliability and trust over growth.
Your year-end gift is the "miracle" we need to break even and enter 2026 with a stable foundation.
