About us
Originally established as the Traveler’s Aid Society in 1923, The Road Home changed its name in 2001 to better reflect our mission of helping people step out of homelessness & back into our community. The Road Home is a private, non-profit social service agency that assists individuals & families with children experiencing homelessness in Salt Lake County & along the Wasatch Front. The agency has been providing emergency shelter services since 1988 & housing services since 1995. The Road Home began operating under a Housing First model in 2005 & became the central Rapid Re-housing provider in Salt Lake County in 2009. We currently offer emergency shelter services in Salt Lake County with no eligibility criteria for clients to access services including; nightly beds, showers, access to laundry facilities, clothing, blankets, diapers, personal toiletries, etc. Case managers can assist clients in connecting with public benefits, substance abuse treatment, mental health assessment & treatment, job training/development, childcare services, housing assistance & more. Our Pamela Atkinson Resource Center, Gail Miller Resource Center & Midvale Family Resource Center can be accessed 24 hours/day, 365 days/year. Priority populations like families with children, Veterans & those experiencing chronic homelessness are assigned case managers to facilitate transitioning out of shelter & into housing as quickly as possible. Case managers work with clients to develop a basic needs assessment & a short-term case plan. Once in housing, case managers continue working with clients to help them build the skills necessary to maintain stable housing, increase income & ensure access to mainstream benefits. This includes conducting in-home visits to ensure participants are meeting the terms of their lease, providing referrals to community resources & helping to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented households from finding or maintaining housing.

The Utah Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Office of the State Epidemiologist put together an official report that provides a one-year summary of mortality among people experiencing homelessness in Utah, a first for the state. ‘People experiencing homelessness in Utah are dying at a higher rate and at much younger ages than the general population. On average, people experiencing homelessness were 16 years younger at their time of death than the general population. The mean age of death among people experiencing homelessness was 56 years of age, compared to 72 years of age in the general population. Many of these deaths are preventable. Providing people with housing is an immediate way to prevent premature death, and expanding housing options for those experiencing homelessness is critical.’ Read the full report at https://lnkd.in/gX3SPTEb
