A new report from the Legislative Auditor General confirms what Rio Grande neighborhood advocates have been saying for years: The drug-fueled chaos that surrounds the Road Home’s shelter doesn’t end at the shelter door. Some people inside are shooting up and smoking spice, and that is making it unsafe for everyone.
Auditors lay the blame squarely on The Road Home’s administration, and they call for immediate reforms and improved oversight at Rio Grande and also at The Road Home’s Midvale family shelter and Palmer Court, The Road Home-operated housing complex in Salt Lake City.
Responding to the audit, The Road Home officials say they are updating their policies and will work with auditors.
