Supporting Housing Services and Programs | Valley Behavioral Health

Supportive Living Programs

Valley owns and operates a variety of supportive living programs throughout the Salt Lake Valley that offer affordable housing options for those living with mental illness.

Valley Behavioral Health Is Here for the Salt Lake Valley Community

Rates of serious mental health conditions are significantly higher in Utah compared to the national average. Research shows that the demand for mental health care in Utah is increasing, as over 100,000 adults in Utah experience serious mental illness.

Valley has been providing community mental health services since 1987. Founded in order to meet the growing needs of the community, Valley began providing behavioral health services — something that was significantly lacking. Valley Behavioral Health has since grown to include other specialty clinics, facilities, and niche services, including those that support the local homeless community.

Sadly, care options for homeless individuals are often limited. At Valley, our goal is to provide patients with a reliable space that focuses on personal, working, and social skill development.

Just some examples of the supportive housing units we offer include:

  • Valley Plaza, Valley Woods, Safe Haven: Supportive housing with onsite staff, medication room/medication management services, 24/7 unit staffing.
  • Valley Homefront, Valley Horizons: Independent living apartments with unit specific hours for case management.
