The primary goal of the AmeriCorps Member is to provide supportive services to help vulnerable individuals remain housed. The AmeriCorps member will support the service coordinator in implementing programs that encourage resident participation in services and will assist in connecting residents to resources as necessary. The AmeriCorps Member will also assist with a small caseload of residents who are assessed to be more self-sufficient. The population this agency serves is at risk of housing instability, especially if they were to lose their housing rental assistance.

Additionally, these programs extend and improve the quality of life for homeless persons in Salt Lake County by providing them with a safe and healthy long-term home.
