This short video highlights the work we do: We could not do this work alone and we rely on our collaborative relationships with other homeless service agencies to ensure that vulnerable individuals are safely and appropriately placed. ![]() ![]() The INN Between ensures that individuals experiencing homelessness have access to safe housing, basic needs, and critical healthcare so that no individuals are left to suffer or die on the streets of our community.Īs the only medical respite and end-of-life care facility for people experiencing homelessness in the greater Salt Lake area, The INN Between plays an important role in our community. The medical community is focused on the Social Determinants of Health, which center on safe housing, basic needs, and access to healthcare as the foundation for overall population health. The INN Between is not a licensed hospice or medical provider–our home is the critical missing link for individuals who don't have access to hospice or medical care simply because they lack housing. We adhere to the hospice philosophy of providing care for the sick, especially the terminally ill, and treating the whole person by providing support for his or her emotional, social, and spiritual needs, not simply the medical symptoms. ![]() Prior to The INN Between, no adequate solution existed for housing terminally ill and medically frail homeless people, resulting in an average of 50 deaths on Salt Lake area streets annually. The mission of The INN Between is to end the tragedy of vulnerable people dying on the streets of our community by providing medical respite and end-of-life care to those experiencing homelessness.
