The LDS Church is donating $10 million toward building and developing additional housing in the Salt Lake Valley for those in need, the Utah-based faith announced Thursday.
Gérald Caussé, presiding bishop for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said the money comes from contributions Mormons made to the faith’s Humanitarian Aid Fund.
“Homelessness affects all sectors of our communities,” Caussé said in a news release. “Around the world, we join hands and hearts with dozens of partners engaged in alleviating suffering in their respective communities, and in the process we point people towards greater self-reliance.
