Homeless Outreach Court Events

The Salt Lake City Justice Court runs Homeless Outreach Court to help people who are homeless or living in supportive housing, sober living, treatment centers, or other community places. This court gives access to legal help and community resources.

Our Mission

Homeless Outreach Court works to remove legal problems, stop repeat jail time, and give people access to justice. We aim to help people take responsibility, become self-sufficient, and find housing, jobs, benefits, and other needed resources.

Event Locations

Homeless Outreach Court meets at different places in Salt Lake City. These locations make it easier for people without housing to get legal help and resources in familiar and easy-to-reach spaces.

Resource Fairs happen on the second Friday of each month (January–November). They connect people to services like:

• Legal help
• Job opportunities
• Health care

• And more
