It's difficult to get an accurate count of unsheltered Utahns any time of the year, but volunteers are now doing a "point in time" count as the need for services is high. https://t.co/n8HjfOtuqz
Of the 9,640 individuals experiencing homelessness in SL County last year only 14% confirmed finding a permanent place to call home. Access to housing is impacted by the economic crisis, the case manager-to-client ratio, a shortage of Permanent Supportive Housing & more. @SLVCEH

We appreciate the @corchunger spotlighting the great work happening throughout our State. Taking a moment to recognize these incredible efforts is critical as we also collectively strive for continuous improvements.
@NateForUtah Since coming on-line in November, there has been availability in overflow beds. With the colder weather, we anticipate utilization to increase. Partners are adjusting constantly to improve service levels at every opportunity. Appreciate your concern! https://t.co/9Nl9PCn2Cg
In Utah, there is a shortage of rental homes affordable & available to extremely low-income & severely cost-burdened households. They're more likely than other renters to sacrifice necessities to pay rent & to experience unstable housing situations. @NLIHC https://t.co/1U6bcwbbGy
@SLVCEH 2023 Point in Time Count (an annual count of people experiencing homelessness) will occur on January 26th-28th. Volunteers are needed to work in teams to seek out & interview persons experiencing unsheltered homelessness. https://t.co/jonAXXVbzz

People experiencing homelessness have the right to vote – and should be encouraged to participate in elections if they so choose.
