Fourth Street Clinic

While the 1.6% decrease in homelessness reflected by the 2026 Point-In Time Count suggests the community is taking small steps in the right direction, it represents only a snapshot of a much larger and increasingly complex issue. Fourth Street Clinic is the only frontline provider of integrated comprehensive health care in Salt Lake County, and despite the decrease, our waitlist and patient volumes continue to demonstrate a need for services.

The reality is, people experiencing homelessness with the most complex needs are often left to navigate disconnected services, cycling between emergency rooms, shelters and street crisis systems without lasting stability. Fourth Street Clinic is proud to be part of the coordinated change that addresses health care, mental health and homelessness as a whole, and for our partnerships with The Road Home and Huntsman Mental Health Institute that make this change possible. This different approach is in reach for all of us, and the question is not whether Utah can afford to do this differently, but whether we can afford not to. Read more about this and our Magnolia program in Voices from The Salt Lake Tribune.

“When people fall through the cracks, it is not inevitable,” Michelle C. Flynn, Janida Emerson and Kevin Curtis write in an op-ed. “It is a failure of coordination, and fixing that is a shared responsibility.”

Last weekend, the Fourth Street Clinic team showed support for our community at NAMIWalks, a nationwide event that supports the largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for millions of Americans affected by mental illness. Of the 29,438 patient visits Fourth Street Clinic had in 2025, 44% were for behavioral health and substance use disorder support services. We are passionate about offering this form of essential care and happy to join NAMI Utah on a day that advocates for mental wellness for all 💚

On April 30th, Utah will make history as nonprofits across the state join together for the first-ever Utah Gives!

When you give to Fourth Street Clinic, you help us continue providing high quality, integrated health care to the people who need it most. In 2025, we served 5,754 patients through 29,438 visits, of which 91% were experiencing homelessness. Last year, the demand for services continued to exceed our capacity, so in response, we intentionally and strategically expanded. Patient-centered thinking has always been at the heart of what we do, and we remain committed to what comes next — whether that’s through continuing to expand access, advancing quality, or ensuring patients receive essential care and advocacy — Fourth Street Clinic will be there, thanks to supporters like you.

This semester, Fourth Street Clinic was thrilled to partner with the University of Utah College of Architecture + Planning to collaborate with their graduate-level design studio to focus on reimagining our clinic. Students were challenged with an important question: What would a purpose-built, trauma-informed healthcare clinic look like if it were designed entirely around dignity, healing, and integrated care? The ideas that emerged were bold, thoughtful, and inspiring. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this preview, and especially to the graduate students and their instructor, Libby, for your support of the work we do!
