The goal of the Crisis Response Core Function Group is to connect clients with crisis response services that will support their efforts to find safety and security, maintain stable housing, and make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring.
If you are in Salt Lake County and are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, please call 801-990-9999 to connect with emergency shelter and learn about other resources.

The Crisis Response Core Function Group meets on the second Wednesday of every other month from 10:00 am – 11:30 am. We meet in the months of January, March, May, July, September, and November. Click here for calendar details and to sign up to attend.
