Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall speaks at City Hall during a Q&A on homelessness, Tuesday, Aug. 1, 2023. Her administration is in the process of selecting a site for a small sanctioned camp for unsheltered Utahns.voted to spend $500,000 on regulated campingCity leaders intend to combine forces with the state Office of Homeless Services, to explore an outdoor shelter option this winter.The city’s approved campsite will be Phase 1, Mendenhall said.
“A pilot will demonstrate the efficacy of this way of doing [an] emergency shelter,” he said, “but in itself is not going to give enough capacity alone for everybody who’s out.”If the city and state pursued an outdoor shelter separately, Johnston said, he isn’t sure the funding each level of government has committed would last long. He hopes the first phase of the project will be able to stay up through at least June.
