New Week Signals New Beginning
Homeless to Benefit From Large Non-profit Merger

It's Official: InnVision and UMPA in Partnership

In a move that promises better services for the homeless and very poor on the Mid-Peninsula, InnVision-The Way Home, announces that state regulators have approved its merger with Urban Ministry of Palo Alto (UMPA).

"We've been working cooperatively for some time, and it's exciting to finally make it official," says Christine Burroughs, Chief Executive Officer of InnVision. The merger truly makes InnVision, founded in 1973, a regional provider of essential services to the poor, according to Burroughs.

"It's definitely a win-win situation," says Urban Ministry Board President Gerry Sarnat, M.D. "The merger provides clients of Urban Ministry with better access to rehabilitation programs as well as transitional housing and other services."

Under InnVision's administrative and financial oversight, UMPA will operate as a division of InnVision and will continue to serve clients in north Santa Clara County and south San Mateo County through its existing six programs that offer food, shelter, clothing and counseling. A newly formed UMPA advisory board will focus on overall support of these programs as well as resource development. The new combined $6 million budget will incorporate some cost savings with 88% directed toward client services.

Under the leadership of Burroughs, InnVision has experienced phenomenal growth since 1991, quintupling in size. "I like to say InnVision offers more than a bed… a beginning," explains Burroughs. "Our success has been in providing a model continuum of care that includes emergency shelter, transitional housing, food, counseling, job training, healthcare and childcare." InnVision's programs currently serve more than 11,000 individuals each year at 11 sites. With the addition of the UMPA programs, it is estimated that over 13,000 will be served.

UMPA's Division Director, Don Jensen is enthusiastic about the opportunities ahead. "I really look forward to tapping into the expertise that InnVision provides in both administration and client services." According to Jensen, "Urban Ministry has always had a great relationship with clients, volunteers and donors, and this merger will certainly enhance that."
