Our Impact
Impact at MAD is not about the number of people we serve but about what changes for them. We track the barriers we remove, the milestones people reach, and the time it takes to get there, because that is what actually tells the story of whether this work is working.
By the Numbers
60,000+ meals shared since 2018
12,000+ essentials distributed (clothing, hygiene supplies)
Hundreds of guests connected to housing and employment
500+ volunteers engaged
100+ legal engagements completed through Move the Box since October 2025
6 to 10 Pop-Up Care Villages per year, 150-250 guests each
What we are building toward
We are building a more detailed, public-facing impact system that tracks time-to-stability milestones, barrier removal, and long-term outcomes for the people we serve. As that system launches, this page will be updated to reflect what we are learning.
In the meantime, you can read our most recent Annual Report for a full picture of MAD's work.
What We Measure and Why
MAD tracks impact across three stages of the stability pathway:
Stabilize
Are people receiving consistent, dignified care and building trust with our team?
Restore
Are guests making progress on specific barriers, including ID recovery, benefits activation, healthcare access, and housing navigation?
Advance
Are people reaching key milestones, including legal clearance, employment placement, and housing stability?
We also track barrier patterns across our caseload to identify where the system itself needs to change, not just where individuals need more support.
