TRANSFORMING CAPSA’S HOUSING

CAPSA’s Transitional Housing Program, started in 2005, is a two-year program that includes housing subsidies coupled with advocacy and educational programming. The program focuses on developing independence by reducing housing expenses and assisting clients as they work toward a life asset, such as a down payment on a home or continued education. CAPSA supports families with rent subsidies throughout the community and, with the support of Dell Loy Hansen, now owns and manages 21 units.

“A core philanthropic value of the Dell Loy Hansen Family Foundation is to support well-developed programs that affirm the dignity of individuals and ensure these programs remain sustainable. We have partnered with CAPSA for many years because CAPSA is among the best in the State of Utah, and their housing program is a national model for transitional housing programs.”

Independence Place: Vision And Execution

In 2014, during a planning meeting, Dell Loy Hansen immediately recognized the need for the Independence Place project and committed to raising the remaining funds. With his support, Independence Place, featuring nine single-family homes, a community park, and shared gardens, was completed in 2016, becoming the first of its kind in Utah.

“He did not want to sit around talking about the problem – he wanted to complete the project. This is how Dell Loy works… I work with Dell Loy every day and am still shocked by his decisive philanthropy.”

Hanson Fourplex: Addressing Immediate Needs

In 2019, Dell Loy recognized the immediate need for more housing and suggested purchasing and renovating a fourplex for CAPSA. The Dell Loy Hansen Family Foundation purchased and renovated the property, completing it ahead of schedule to provide emergency shelter and transitional housing during the COVID-19 crisis.

“While many are content to merely discuss problems, Dell Loy prioritizes action to solve them. His decisive interventions have not only transformed CAPSA but, more importantly, have changed and saved lives.”
