“If we were to expand funding to establish more family-oriented facilities, we could offer more families a chance to regain their footing,” writes Kendall in Kearns.

According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, in 2018, 15% of Utah’s population were unsheltered – a total of 2,456 individuals. As of this number, 972 families or individuals within families were experiencing homelessness .

The National Alliance to End Homelessness offers solutions to help these struggling individuals and families. Rapid-rehousing has been found to be an effective solution, and allows families to quickly find housing and rental assistance and other services. Once people are housed, they are in a “better position to address other challenges that may have led to their homelessness, such as obtaining employment or addressing substance abuse issues” .

The Midvale Road Home assists clients in applying for and obtaining services such as rapid-rehousing. However, the Midvale Road Home is the only family-oriented homeless shelter within Salt Lake County. Many families are missing out on resources that could help them get back on their feet. If we were to expand funding to establish more family-oriented facilities, we could offer more families a chance to regain their footing.
