    State homeless campus proposal in Salt Lake City

    Discussed

    State homeless coordination officials briefed the Council on the proposed state homeless campus at 2520 North 2200 West on a 15.85-acre parcel, with AJC Architects selected for the project. They described next steps including public involvement, contractor selection, funding and resource partners, and the scope of the initial funding request. Discussion covered long-term shelter needs, programmatic vendors not yet chosen, the state's commitment to the safety of people on the campus and nearby neighbors, community engagement, an estimated $65 per person per night cost, next steps for people leaving homelessness, who should operate the campus and concerns about housing people from outside the area. Council Member Puy encouraged outreach, public input and education. Council Member Wharton thanked the state's first homeless coordinator for his service and presented him a gift.
