The good news about homeless services in Utah

Did you know that over 18,000 people have received services from a homeless service provider in Utah this year? Many of those people received services intended to prevent homelessness but over 10,000 received emergency shelter services.

In this webinar you will hear from homeless services providers from different parts of Utah about the good work their agencies do. Right now there is a greater need for homeless services than there was in the past because our population is growing and the cost of living has increased faster in the past two years than it has at any time in the history of our state.

We cannot understand how to improve homeless services if we do not understand the good being done by the services that are currently available. Homeless services help thousands of people avoid sleeping outside each year in Utah. They also connect hundreds of families and individuals with housing through short and long term rental assistance.

The Coalition of Religious Communities is organizing this webinar to educate policymakers and concerned people from the community about the good that is currently being done by homeless service providers in Utah and to highlight a few specific ideas for expanding and improving those services in the face of increased need,

Everyone is welcome to attend.
