the original three party agreement. Since October 1, 1990, MidPen has leased the <br />Property to LifeMoves, which operates Redwood Family House, a transitional housing <br />facility on site for extremely low income homeless families. <br /> <br />Redwood Family House <br />Redwood Family House is one of many transitional housing shelters for homeless <br />families operated by LifeMoves. The transitional housing shelter provides interim <br />housing for homeless families (usually up to 6 months) in nine furnished one-bedroom <br />apartments. The other three units are utilized as staff offices to provide onsite support <br />services and a children's playroom. <br /> <br />Redwood Family House provides supportive services that enable homeless families to <br />return to self-sufficiency including case management; individual and family counseling <br />by supervised PhD-level interns; information and referrals; a client savings program; <br />parenting classes, child abuse prevention workshops, conflict resolution training; <br />referrals and subsidies for child care; a comprehensive Children's Program including <br />individual assessments, referrals for medical, mental health, and special needs <br />services, coordination with schools, after school tutoring, enrichment activities, and <br />educational field trips. Residents are also regularly referred to a variety of off-site <br />services including employment assistance with linkages to public transportation as <br />needed. <br /> <br />The City has provided up to $80,000 of CDBG and Human Services Financial <br />Assistance (HSFA) funds combined each year to LifeMoves to support the Redwood <br />Family House shelter operations since they opened. The City also provided $90,000 of <br />CDBG funds in 2007 in the form of a grant for improvements and rehabilitation to the <br />shelter. <br /> <br />LifeMoves <br />In 1987, LifeMoves, formerly known as Shelter Network, was established. In 2012 <br />Shelter Network merged with Inn Vision, a Santa Clara based provider of shelter, <br />transitional housing and support services for homeless families and individuals and was <br />renamed InnVision Shelter Network. This merger allowed Shelter Network to expand <br />their shelter bed capacity and services and helped to preserve shelter services in <br />southern San Mateo County and the Santa Clara region as InnVision was experiencing <br />financial difficulties due to the economic downturn. In early 2016 InnVision Shelter <br />Network changed its name to LifeMoves, a new name to more closely reflect the <br />mission of the organization. <br /> <br />MidPen <br />Mid-Peninsula Coalition Belle Haven, Inc. is currently the owner of the Redwood Family <br />House ("Property"). MidPen’s founder and former president was also a founding board <br />member of Shelter Network and acted as the nonprofit’s first director of development. <br />As a result MidPen is involved in the ownership structure on four of LifeMoves' early <br />deals: Redwood Family House in Redwood City, Family Crossroads in Daly City, First <br />Step for Families in San Mateo and Haven Family House in Menlo Park. <br /> <br />6.3.B. - Page 2
