The Problem

Utah is at a critical juncture in its history, grappling with an affordable housing crisis that threatens the fabric of our communities and the vitality of our economy.

Utah Workforce Housing Advocacy (UWHA) is dedicated to spearheading efforts to combat this crisis through public awareness initiatives and policy recommendations aimed at ensuring all Utah residents have access to affordable, quality housing. The urgency of this mission is underscored by rapid population growth, a widening affordability gap, a severe shortage of workforce housing, and consequential strain on local businesses and the economy at large.
