State awards $24 million for homeless services statewide

SALT LAKE CITY (April 27, 2023) — Yesterday, the Utah Homelessness Council voted to award 45 Utah nonprofit organizations with $24 million to provide homeless services around the state. 

The funding is managed by the Utah Office of Homeless Services and comes from the Federal Emergency Solutions Grant, Federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Homeless to Housing, Pamela Atkinson Homeless Trust Fund, and Homeless Services Dedicated Funding. 

There were 123 applications totaling $45 million in funding requests.

“We appreciate the time and effort of applicants, staff, and the Utah Homeless Network steering committee,” said Wayne Niederhauser, State of Utah Homeless Coordinator. “There were 45 agencies and 99 projects funded, including 26 projects that haven’t previously been funded. Each Local Homeless Council saw an increase in funding, which will make a positive impact statewide.”

Homeless service providers across the state will use this funding to provide: emergency shelter, rapid rehousing, homeless prevention, street outreach, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing.
