Empowering people and communities to create end-of-life solutions for people experiencing homelessness.
Death is mankind's universal connection, yet we rarely discuss it, particularly in terms of terminally ill people who lack housing. In 2015, with the help of many wonderful people, I launched The INN Between, a 10-bed "hospice for the homeless" in an old convent in Salt Lake City. It was a pilot project operating as a social model hospice, and our beds quickly filled. In 2018, we raised funds to purchase a 50-bed facility, giving the program a permanent home with 25 licensed Assisted Living Facility Type II beds and 25 social model beds.
​
I created Homeless at the End as a platform to share knowledge and inspire others to action so that communities across the world can end needless suffering on the streets. I chose the name to honor the PBS Utah original film Homeless at the End, produced by Sally Shaum and Nancy Green. It centers on The INN Between's first year in operation, putting a human face on the challenges faced by Utah’s homeless who are confronted with their mortality. ​
