Erin Mendenhall: “Cities cannot solve homelessness on their own, but we must continue to do more of everything that is in our scope. That’s what we’ve been doing in Salt Lake City since day one of my administration.'
this week: A state judge gave at least one unsheltered resident a choice: go to a treatment program in Jackson, Wyoming, or go to Salt Lake City. Sadly, I was not surprised.
Every major city – and many smaller ones – are on the frontlines of homelessness. The last complete nationwiderevealed that there are more than 580,000 people experiencing homelessness in the U.S. There is no doubt that this crisis has reached epic proportions. People become homeless due to serious problems that demand comprehensive and compassionate work by all levels of government.
Cities cannot solve homelessness on their own, but we must continue to do more of everything that is in our scope. That’s what we’ve been doing in Salt Lake City since day one of my administration. Tackling this growing need in Salt Lake City has meant investing millions more than ever before in affordable housing and the creation of more than 400 units of permanent supportive housing. It’s meant creating the first tiny home village for today’s chronically homeless population. It’s meant distributing unprecedented rental and mortgage assistance to help keep people in their homes.
