Abstract

In 2025, the total number of Utah residents experiencing homelessness on any given night grew to 4,584,1 up from 3,131 in 20202 (a 46.4% increase), as reported in our 2022 research snapshot3 on this topic, and an 18.0% increase from 2024.4 According to The Office of Homeless Services under the Utah Department of Workforce Services, the number of people who accessed homelessness services in Utah sometime during the year grew 27.2% between 2021 and 2025, from 24,0375 to 30,578 individuals.6 Homelessness continues to remain a concern for many Utah women and families, and it affects our communities and state. This research snapshot focuses on three key areas:

1) An overview of homelessness in the nation and trends over the last several years;

2) A synopsis of homelessness in Utah, including demographic information, influencing factors, and state spending; and

3) A discussion of what Utahns can do to decrease homelessness and meet the needs of individuals experiencing homelessness.
