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.
