Last summer, The INN Between bought an assisted living center in a single-family-home neighborhood near 1300 South and 1100 East. The INN Between provides a necessary and compassionate service for the homeless people of Utah who would otherwise die on the sidewalks. Around a hundred homeless Utahns die every year.
Homeless people should be treated with the respect that Christianity demands. No one should feel that their final hours of life will be alone on a bench or sidewalk or under a car. In addition, hospitals “dump” some of their homeless patients at the Weigand Center homeless facility on Rio Grande Street in a diaper and hospital gown, and TIB provides them with needed respite care.
