Volunteers of America’s (VOA) homeless youth resource center and shelter, the first of its kind in Utah, opened its doors in May of 2016. Open 24/7, the 18,756 square foot facility is a drop-in resource center and overnight emergency shelter providing essential basic needs items such as three hot meals a day, pantry food, showers and laundry for at-risk and homeless youth ages 15-22.
In addition to meeting basic needs of food and shelter, the new center offers dental and medical care assistance and access to mental health services on-site. Youth self-sufficiency is also provided through educational, counseling, housing and employment services to help youth gain stability to avoid becoming homeless adults.
