In 2020, the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness reported that an estimated 3,131 Utah residents experienced homelessness on any given day. And, according to data shared by the Office of Homeless Services under the Utah Department of Workforce Services, 24,037 people accessed homelessness services in Utah sometime during 2021. Clearly, homelessness is a grave concern for many Utah women and families.
Recently, the Utah Women & Leadership Project published a research snapshot about homelessness among Utah women. Dr. Susan Madsen, Founding Director of the Utah Women & Leadership Project, is joined by Dr. Emily Darowski, Associate Director of the UWLP; Joseph Jensen, Data Manager for the Utah Office of Homeless Services; and Michelle Flynn, Executive Director of The Road Home.
