Salt Lake City, UT, July 26, 2026 —
SALT LAKE CITY, UT – A new 29-bed facility, named Stonebridge, has opened in Salt Lake City’s Central Ninth district, offering housing and comprehensive support services for women recovering from severe mental illness. The transformation of a former youth hostel into this specialized facility was a rapid initiative, becoming operational within a few months.
Stonebridge is the result of a collaborative effort involving Odyssey House of Utah, alongside state and county officials, and was also bolstered by philanthropic support. The project was financed through a combination of funds, with $2.8 million allocated for the purchase of the property and an additional $500,000 dedicated to renovations.
The opening of Stonebridge aims to address a critical and unmet housing need for women experiencing severe mental illness within Salt Lake County. The facility is designed to provide not only a safe living environment but also integrated support services crucial for recovery and stability.
Details regarding the specific timelines for the renovations and the exact nature of the comprehensive support services offered at Stonebridge were not provided. However, the rapid operationalization of the facility underscores the urgency and collaborative spirit behind this initiative to serve a vulnerable population.
