Utah’s Unemployment Insurance program was listed as a “Tier 0” state by @USDOL. We meet all federal performance standards and anti-fraud measures.
As some states undergo federal reviews, Utah stands out for our program's accountability, modernization and fraud prevention.

Improved coordination and outcomes are the goals. Jeff Quayle of Switchpoint added: "We believe this bill will help streamline contracting and payment processes, improve alignment with state policy goals and strengthen overall system performance."
English
The bill ensures clarity, accountability, and better function. Michelle Flynn, Executive Director and CEO of The Road Home, states: “We support HB 308, because it provides clarity and accountability... It doesn't create more bureaucracy. In fact, it helps streamline.”

Strong support for HB308 Homeless Services Amendments was voiced Wednesday night. Providers see this bill as a critical step to balance accountability with practicality, reducing administrative burden while strengthening system performance.

Homelessness isn’t one problem, and it won’t be solved with one tool.
Utah is taking a clear, statewide approach focused on what works and what changes outcomes.
Three pillars guide the work: accountability for high-utilizers, emergency shelter and supportive housing, and expanded mental and behavioral health capacity.

Listen to Chief Economist Ben Crabb’s analysis of the December 2025 employment report here: soundcloud.com/utahdws/utah-e….
English
What we’re seeing in Utah is a normalization of job growth after several years of rapid expansion. The overall economic conditions continue to reflect this normalization rather than an economic disruption. The low unemployment rate shows the state’s labor market remains strong.
English
The December jobs report shows Utah's labor force ended the year with an additional 21,800 jobs, a 1.2% increase. The unemployment rate remained steady at 3.6%. As usual, these numbers are better than the nation, which reported only 0.3% job growth and 4.4% unemployment.

The State Office of Homeless Services and Workforce Services are ready to support and implement the Governor’s vision for addressing homelessness through a balanced approach rooted in recovery, compassion and accountability.
Governor Cox@GovCox
Utah’s approach to homelessness is grounded in recovery, compassion, and accountability. We start by helping people in crisis today with emergency shelter, safety, and stability. And we’re building long-term systems that expand mental health treatment, reduce repeat system failure, and restore order in our neighborhoods. This is a statewide strategy focused on what works, now and for the future. More to come.
