Compassion in action for our people on the street

We are a one-stop mobile resource and advocacy group for the chronically unsheltered in Salt Lake County. Recognized with a Hellraiser Award from Crossroads Urban Center for excellent advocacy on behalf of low-income populations, our unprecedented effort to inspire and transport those on the streets to speak to those in power, has changed policy at the state and local levels! Sanctioned campgrounds, Code Blue, and, most recently, a $500,000 Salt Lake City Council appropriation for hygiene solutions like bathrooms, was inspired by their voices. Additionally, we've created the first mobile shelter in the country, the Blue Bus, which runs during the coldest part of winter, entering it's third season. Our monthly massive supply drives offer everything from clothing, blankets, hygiene items and hot, home-cooked meals to haircuts, hot showers, benefits enrollment, and legal aid. And all while a DJ plays and people dance. Our historic mass DMV appointments and free ID vouchers obtain necessary identification so people can get jobs, stimulus checks, or apply for housing and benefits. Our micro-home initiative, currently suspended until zoning laws change, showed Salt Lake City that housing people can be easier, cheaper and more successful than anyone has thought. Our Sexy Nomad Calendar gifts nomads the chance to be seen, while also earning small stipends. And our ability to pivot to the needs of the individual has fostered dogs and puppies or stored bicycle parts for bike entrepreneurs so people have one less thing to stress about while getting on their feet. We've found housing in days for an unsheltered woman and her newly born infant, and obtained donations of all the baby's needs. We've been character witnesses that freed our nomads from prison that day. We've gifted 3,000 meals from Waste Less Solutions in one afternoon. We've inspired a music tour to gift all it's leftover catering in five US cities and counting! And so much more!
