Official sources checked 2026-07-29

Start here

Use Utah affordable-housing resources

Before you start

  • Medical, work, education, daily-function, income and resource records; SSA and housing records; adult preferences, trusted supporters, communication needs, decision areas, and existing authority documents.

Who to contact

Use the official DSPD intake or waiting-list worker, transition worker, support coordinator, Utah Medicaid or DWS, provider, crisis, or protective-report route that owns this step.

Use the statewide DSPD application and intake route

Step by step

  1. Use SSA's official disability route and Utah housing resources as separate workstreams.
  2. Map the decisions where the adult wants help and each supporter's role and limits.
  3. Use person-centered planning and seek qualified Utah legal advice before creating or changing legal authority.

Expected next

A benefits or housing event and a documented support map, accommodation, authority-document decision, or legal-referral plan.

Save this proof

SSA and housing records, search dates, support map, authority documents, revocations, and advice received.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Use each program's official status route, the DSPD planning resources, and qualified legal help when needed.
