Community Resources and Development
AmeriCorps
Salt Lake County Community Resources and Development manages AmeriCorps programs that serve special populations, such as refugees and chronically homeless people.
AmeriCorps members are currently placed at the county housing authority, homeless shelters, hospitals and in similar settings as part of the AmeriCorps Building Utah's Capacity to End Chronic Homelessness(ABUCECH) program.
In the AmeriCorps Assisting Refugee Program (AARP), AmeriCorps members work at organizations that directly assist refugees.
AmeriCorps is a federally sponsored, locally administered community-service program. For more information on the federal program, go to www.americorps.org. For more information on Community Resources and Development's AmeriCorps program, contact Rich Parks at (801) 468-3604.
