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.

While people enduring homelessness often face serious challenges—joblessness, health problems, domestic abuse, racial discrimination—placing them rapidly into a permanent home with supportive services is the most effective way of keeping them permanently off the streets. A 2021 study showed that prioritizing housing with services decreased homelessness by 88%. It’s also a good investment. An independent CDC panel found that for every dollar invested in such housing, taxpayers realize $1.44 in savings. Newsweek https://lnkd.in/egxef3YK
