Homeless Resource Officers (HROs)
In 2018, South Salt Lake Police Department began a program with a specially trained group of police officers to handle the unique circumstances and situations that arise at both the Men's Resource Center and in the community with people experiencing homelessness. Officers work in tandem with The South Salt Lake Homeless Strategies Department, The Road Home, Shelter the Homeless, South Salt Lake Fire and EMS Department, and local South Salt Lake City businesses. This team can respond with both resources and public safety tools as needed.
They can be reached through a dedicated number 801-412-3684 or by calling the non-emergency dispatch number 801-840-4000. In an emergency, please call 911.
Partner Facilities and Resources
South Salt Lake is home to two facilities that provide congregate and non-congregate shelter for those experiencing homelessness. The facilities are managed by The Road Home.

Justice Court Assistance Program
In 2023, South Salt Lake Justice Court received a four-year grant from the U.S. Department of Justice to fund two new positions, a Judicial Case Manager and an Outreach Case Manager. These new positions will work alongside several City Departments and community partners to address the specific needs of individuals experiencing homelessness, where sentencing requirements normally include conditions for mental health and drug addiction services. The program provides hands-on support to help them successfully navigate their sentencing requirements on their path to a more stable life. This addition to South Salt Lake Justice Court adds to the unique and solutions-based approach the City takes to addressing homeless issues through compassion.
