Valor House is our newest Transitional Housing Program for sixty-one
(61) homeless veterans and is located in Building Three on the Veterans
Administration Medical Campus. The Valor House is a partnership between
the Housing Authority of Salt Lake City and the Department of Veterans
Affairs Salt Lake City Health Care System. The target population is any
veteran eligible for VA services who is either homeless or in imminent
danger of becoming homeless. This transitional housing will allow the
veteran to stay in the program for up to twenty-four (24) months. The
goal of the partnership is to resolve the veteran&s problems and
move them toward an independent lifestyle where they can live in the
community and become viable members of society. Clinical case
management is provided by the VA staff. This is an important element in
helping the veteran become independent.
Two
meals a day are provided to all participants. Laundry facilities are
available on both Wings for the veteran’s personal laundry and linen
services are provided by the VA. This program is the first of its kind in the United States. THE VALOR APARTMENTS
The
goal for this program is to assist veterans in obtaining permanent
housing, increase skills and income by requiring them to work on a
full-time basis. In order to stay in the program, veterans are expected
to complete the vocational job training and eventually be placed in a
full-time, higher paying position with a community employer. Case
management is a strong support system in this program and assists the
veteran in utilizing programs and services in their own neighborhood
rather than return to familiar agencies in the homeless community. Case
managers provides skills training and counseling enabling the veteran
to maintain their residency. Transitional Housing The Transitional Housing for families and individuals is a supportive housing program through HUD. The purpose of this program is to enable individuals and families to break the cycle of homelessness and become self-sufficient.

All of the homes are located in stable and family oriented neighborhoods. Residents have the opportunity to practice maintaining an apartment or house, getting along with their neighbors and paying rent on time.
