MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

Organizational Overview
 
Founded in 1958, First Step House has evolved into a dual-diagnosis capable, behavioral health treatment and housing provider for no and low-income individuals and families. We have been a consistent leader in the Salt Lake metro area delivering evidence-based interventions and achieving positive outcomes for individuals who have chronic substance use disorders, histories of homelessness, mental health conditions, criminal justice involvement, and primary health concerns. We operate two residential treatment facilities, two outpatient treatment centers, and six transitional housing facilities in Salt Lake City, Utah. The scope of services we offer include substance use disorder and mental health assessment, residential and outpatient treatment, recovery residence services, housing, case management, employment support, primary health care and dental services, peer support services, and long-term recovery management. Through our programs, we serve over 730 individuals per year – many of who arrive at our doorstep with very little resources, lack of family support, and numerous barriers to overcome. 
 
2019-20 Updates

• In February 2019, First Step House broke ground and began construction on the Central City Apartments. In December of 2017 First Step House was awarded $1.2 million in State and Federal Tax Credits to develop 75 units of permanent supportive housing for people with histories of homelessness and severe mental illness. This project was the result of a partnership with Salt Lake County Behavioral Health, Optum Healthcare, Housing Authority of the County of Salt Lake, and BlueLine Development. Together we worked to design the apartments, clinic space, and supportive services necessary to respond to a critical need on our community – housing and wrap around services for some of the most vulnerable people in our community.
• In March of 2019 First Step House became the operator and service provider of Valor House – a facility located on the Veterans Affairs (VA) campus in Salt Lake City. With this new role, First Step House transitioned from operating and serving 18 transitional housing units for Veterans to 66 one-bedroom units for Veterans. To support the Veterans in these housing units, program staff utilize a variety of models including bridge housing, clinical treatment, and intensive wrap-around services to assist homeless Veterans in transitioning to permanent housing.
