Utah's homelessness policy board explores centralized shelter system expansion to address growing homeless population needs.
Utah's homelessness policy board has acknowledged the inadequacy of its current homeless resource center model and is considering a return to a centralized shelter system. This shift aims to add beds and better serve the growing homeless population. Meanwhile, Weber County is urgently seeking a location for 100 emergency shelter beds ahead of winter, as it faces a deadline for its winter response plan. A new centralized campus could accommodate up to 1,200 beds and include comprehensive support services.
