Valley owns and operates a number of units throughout the Salt Lake Valley that offer affordable housing options for those with mental illness. Our housing programs range from independent living to supervised housing and are primarily focused on helping individuals reach their goals for recovery. We strive to provide patients with a reliable space to focus on working, social, and personal skill development.
To thrive, you need stable housing.
A safe and comfortable home environment is especially important for those struggling with mental illness, trauma, and chronic health conditions. This helps pave the way for a successful recovery. Unfortunately, some conditions make it challenging to maintain a stable home environment without assistance. Once homeless, mental health symptoms can worsen, leading to a wide range of crises.
In the United States, there are an estimated 553,742 people experiencing homelessness. To help these individuals, communities across the nation respond with various options, including emergency shelters, rapid re-housing, and supportive housing. Currently, permanent supportive housing represents 41.8% of all homeless assistance beds. At Valley Behavioral Health, we’re proud to offer several units throughout Salt Lake Valley, providing affordable housing options to those who need it most.

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.
