The Utah Office of Homeless Services has granted the Salt Lake Rotary Club $2.9 million to expand transitional housing for homeless youth, the organization announced Tuesday.
The funding is in addition to the organization's fundraising efforts to purchase housing to expand Salt Lake County's Milestone Transitional Program for youth. The program is focused on young adults, aged 18 to 21, who have aged out of the state's foster care system or are at risk of experiencing"I am profoundly inspired by the dedication of the Salt Lake Rotary Club and their unwavering commitment to our community's youth," said Utah first lady Abby Cox.
More than 120 youths "age out" of foster care each year in Utah. The transition from foster care can leave youth vulnerable to problems such as homelessness or substance abuse. The Milestone program is a partnership between the Salt Lake County Youth Services and Salt Lake Rotary Club centered on those youth.
The program works to teach youths the skills to become self-sufficient while providing safe housing, stable employment and connections to ongoing support and resources. Currently, the program is serving up to 19 young adults at a time who are experiencing homelessness in Salt Lake County.
