About This Project
HomeAid Utah is proud to partner with Utah West Landscape as Builder Captain on a new outdoor space at the FINCH Family Shelter, operated by The Road Home.
The FINCH shelter, which was converted from a former hotel, was originally designed with little to no outdoor space for families. With only a parking lot surrounding the building, children and parents staying at the shelter have had limited opportunities to spend time outside.
Through this project, Utah West Landscape and their partners are transforming part of the property into a welcoming outdoor area that includes turf, a playground, and a picnic space. This new environment will give families a place to gather, play, and spend time outdoors while they work toward stable housing.
For the children staying at FINCH, this space represents more than just a place to play. It offers an opportunity to run, laugh, and simply be kids during a difficult season of life. It also creates a place where families can relax together and build a sense of normalcy and community.
This project is a powerful example of how the building industry can come together to create spaces that support dignity, healing, and hope.
