211 Utah Supports Displaced Residents of Midvale Apartment Fire
When a building fire broke out at the North Union Apartments in Midvale on July 31, 2026, displacing more than 200 families, United Way of Salt Lake and 211 Utah’s Salt Lake team jumped into action to provide support. Through a partnership with Airbnb.org, we helped more than 80 families access free temporary housing so they have somewhere to stay while they figure out what comes next.
In the days following the fire, 211 Utah team members also helped impacted residents navigate services and resources to find clothing and household items, replace lost documents, access pet resources, and more.
