What We Know About SLC’s First Sanctioned Camp
Salt Lake City is about to get its first ever sanctioned homeless camp, at 300 S. and 600 W. And if you’re thinking that’s very near the site of the former Road Home shelter, so are we. Lead producer Emily Means got the details from the city and state and tells host Ali Vallarta what we know about this big neighborhood project.
Sign up for future volunteer opportunities around the sanctioned camp, like making welcome packets for new residents.
Have more questions? The city put together an FAQ page on the sanctioned camp program.
