Project Description

CDFA provided NMTC financing for Hope Lodge, a no-fee lodging facility serving patients receiving cancer treatment services in Salt Lake City. The 66,476 sq. ft. facility includes 42 residential suites to serve over 800 patients annually. Overnight accommodations are available to anyone living more than 50 miles from SLC. Hope Lodge also offers a community and cancer resource center, healing garden, common kitchen, laundry, computer center, and offices for all local American Cancer Society and volunteer efforts.

Each year, 16,000 individuals are treated in Utah and 4,500 people travel to Salt Lake City for treatment. The journey facing someone diagnosed with cancer can be a long and costly one which significantly impacts patients and families physically, financially, and emotionally. Hope Lodge is addressing the unequal burden that cancer patients experience within low income and medically underserved populations.
