That's awesome. Best news I've heard come out of Utah in a while.
It really does just take a few months with a permanent address in order to get back on your feet. I think the biggest issue when homeless and trying to get back into the work force is not having an address (you can't get a PO Box without a residential address) for job applications/receive mail and not having a place to sleep/shower/keep clothes clean, etc.
If I can ever afford it I would like to start up a home for kicked out LGBT* youth. Just a safe place to go while they figure out the next step.

"Yes, I am a Free Lover. I have an inalienable, constitutional and natural right to love whom I may, to love as long or as short a period as I can; to change that love every day if I please, and with that right neither you nor any law you can frame have any right to interfere. And I have the further right to demand a free and unrestricted exercise of that right, and it is your duty not only to accord it, but as a community, to see I am protected in it. I trust that I am fully understood, for I mean just that, and nothing else."
