There have been several recent news stories on the soon-to-be-opened 1000 West Men’s Homeless Resource Center and the conditional use permit that is required by South Salt Lake to operate the facility in our city. This is a complicated issue and I’d like to set the record straight regarding our city’s position.
First of all, South Salt Lake is committed to working in good faith with Shelter the Homeless to ensure the 1000 West Men’s Homeless Resource Center is a safe facility for the men who live there as well as for our residents. We are also committed to doing this in a timely manner so the Resource Center can open its doors this fall.
