The Salt Lake Valley Coalition to End Homelessness aims to render homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring. We do this through a system-wide commitment of resources, services, data collection, analysis, and coordination among all stakeholders.

News and Updates

The Salt Lake County Office of Homelessness and Criminal Justice Reform presents the following report on bills and appropriations from the 2024 General Session of the Utah State Legislature. The Office was formed in July 2023 as a part of the County’s unified approach to understanding and addressing issues at the intersection of homelessness and criminal justice.

The Office works closely with County human services and other stakeholders through systemic coordination efforts and provides staff support for the Salt Lake Valley Coalition to End Homelessness and the Criminal Justice Advisory Council.

This report has three goals:

• The first is to summarize themes that emerged during this year’s session, highlighting gaps and opportunities that have emerged.
• The second is to communicate appropriations decisions that will impact relevant systems, programs, and services across our issue areas.
• The third is to provide concise, accurate synopses of significant legislation.
