Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

The State of Utah's Comprehensive Report on Homelessness for 2015 found that families account for 42% of all those experiencing homelessness, and that the total number of school children living in motels, shelters or places not meant for habitation increased by 13% from the previous year. This means that over 6,000 individuals in families, mostly children, are living out of motels, staying in shelters, or worse, sleeping in cars or abandoned buildings.

Our programs

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Emergency Shelter Program

The Emergency Shelter Program is an interfaith hospitality network of churches/shelters in the Salt Lake Valley that open their doors and house our families for a week at a time throughout the year. Families in the program work with the Family Promise Salt Lake Case Manager to find sustainable housing, jobs, and proper schools for all children. Families have 90 days to complete the program.

Population(s) Served
Homeless people
Economically disadvantaged people

Families work with Case Management for up to two years in order to strengthen the skills they need to succeed. The Case Manager helps connect families to community resources, such as: child care, employment, education, health care, legal services and other necessities for sustainable living.

Population(s) Served
Families
Homeless people

Family Promise has 5 transitional apartments available to families who have graduated from the Emergency Shelter Program. Families sign a Transitional Housing Program application. Upon admission into the program, families continue to receive Case Management. The purpose of transitional housing is to provide extra support to families with challenging barriers that require additional time and resources to resolve. While in the Transitional Housing Program, families take family budgeting class and good tenancy classes in anticipation of moving to independent sustainable housing.

Population(s) Served

Upon leaving Family Promise Salt Lake's Emergency Shelter Program or Transitional Housing Program, families are encouraged to continue working with Family Promise Salt Lake's case managers to help ensure a lasting and permanent place to call home.

Population(s) Served

Family Promise Salt Lake is able to keep individuals and families sheltered utilizing area hotels and motels. This is accomplished in the winter months. Participants in the program are tracked for future services.

Population(s) Served

Family Promise Salt Lake staff work with area property owners/managers incentivizing them thus allowing Family Promise Salt Lake guests a better chance to find affordable and sustainable housing.
