Sustaining safe shelter, dignity, and stability for today and generations to come.
Shelter the Homeless owns and stewards the six emergency homeless resource centers that form the backbone of Salt Lake County’s homelessness response and provide refuge and critical services to thousands of individuals each year.
The Sustainability Fund is a multi-year campaign designed to protect and strengthen these essential spaces, ensuring our shelters remain places of opportunity and hope for many years into the future.
Together, with community support, the Sustainability Fund is a long-term investment in the facilities and infrastructure that makes this essential work possible.
Our Long-Term Funding Strategy
Our goal is to achieve sustainable funding
with 50% government funding and 50% philanthropic support
to build a resilient foundation.
Public Sources – – – – – -Philanthropic Support
Over the next five-year strategic planning period, Shelter the Homeless projects a need for more than $2 million annually in philanthropic support to sustain critical system-wide services and infrastructure.
As the owner of six facilities and more than 1,500 beds which represent over 90% of all shelter beds in Salt Lake County, Shelter the Homeless must also plan for long-term capital investments that cannot be reliably funded through annual operating budgets alone.
Without a dedicated, forward-looking funding source, the system becomes increasingly vulnerable to deferred maintenance, emergency repairs, and financial strain.
Support long-term shelter stability
and services.
