Valor House Development Valor House is a unique property – truly a partnership

with the VA and the Housing Authority of Salt Lake City. The first of it’s kind, designed specifically for the population and the location on campus.

A long term, enhanced use lease agreement, allowed Valor House to be built on un-used land on the medical center campus. Utilities are provided from the VA and sub-metered.

A VA Capitol Contribution grant of $1,000,000 and a $1,000,000 Grant and Per Diem initial grant helped make Valor House possible.

Building Features12 ‘Family Style’ kitchen and living rooms are each surrounded by 6 private bedroom/bathrooms to create the 72 rooms. This congregate living style was designed to help limit isolation, promote healthy relationships with others, and create a supportive environment for the Veterans.

VA clinical Case Management Services and support offered by VA employees on-site.

Other supportive groups and services offered by staff of VA Medical Center. Valor House’s proximity to the VA hospital and other supportive services makes it a perfect fit for Veterans with more intensive medical or mental health needs.

Salt Lake CitySecretary Shinseki visited Valor House in June 2013. Secretary Donovan recently scheduled a visit to Freedom Landing and Valor House that was unfortunately later cancelled due to the fires in Idaho. It is clear that our efforts are gaining national attention.

Through the cooperative and strong partnerships with local and State leaders, the incredible resources available through the VA, and a strong philanthropic network in Utah including banks, non profits, and religious organizations and humanitarian groups, Salt Lake City is poised to be the first city in the nation to effectively END Veteran Homelessness. The HASLC is honored to be a part of this effort – to bring our nation’s heroes ‘Home’
