211 Utah

As with other challenges we encounter, when other resources seem to be lacking, you can always try 211 Utah, by dialing 211 or by getting on line at  https://211utah.org.

Housing and Homeless Programs

To date, we are proud to offer 40+ programs and services across Utah and have 650+ employees. This has allowed us to serve over 14,000 individuals annually, creating an immense impact on our community.

We help clients deal with a broad range of conditions from chronic lifelong issues to temporary conditions triggered by life events or an addiction. In many cases our services go beyond therapy to empowering clients with tools to deal with a spectrum of life issues from housing to employment to social interaction.
