Sunrise Metro has a healing garden – a
place for residents to mourn those that
have passed, and a place to know that
when their time comes they will not be
forgotten. Stones with names of those who
died are placed among flowers.
Case Management is provided by 5 trained
social workers. This vital assistance to the
residents helps with eviction prevention,
referrals to medical and mental health
professionals, independent living, financial
planning, employment assistance, family
re-unification, and other means of helping folks
transition from homelessness to being a
resident of Sunrise Metro.

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.
 72
Rooms
• Operated with Grant and Per Diem (GPD)
funding for Veterans
• All Clinical Case Management provided by VA
Humanitarian Grant – Food Pantry and Furniture
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS)
12 ‘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.
Secretary 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’
