West Valley City · Salt Lake County
The most lived-in, most multilingual half of Salt Lake County.
West Valley City is the second-largest city in Utah by population. It is also the most linguistically and culturally diverse city in our service area, with established Latino, Pacific Islander, Vietnamese, and Bosnian communities. We support that.
Why families pick West Valley
WVC has the most affordable single-family housing stock among the larger cities in our service area, which translates into homes with more bedrooms, larger lots, and more parking. Several of our staff already live in WVC, which helps with shift coverage and continuity. The cultural and linguistic communities here are themselves a reason: residents whose first language is not English, or whose family rhythms are tied to a particular cultural community, often do better when the home is in or near where their community already lives.

A note on language
Our Spanish-language site is in development. If your family speaks Spanish, Tongan, Samoan, Vietnamese, or another language at home, please tell us during intake. We will arrange interpretation for the intake conversation, and we will look at staffing the home with a person who speaks the language whenever it is possible. If we cannot match for the language at the home level, we will be honest about that, and we will tell you which other Utah providers we know are doing this well.
