Set Public Hearing Date -Tuesday,December 8,2020
Hold hearing to accept public comment -Tuesday,January 19,2021 at 7 p.m.
TENTATIVE Council Action -TBD
Minutes:
Nick Tarbet provided an introduction and follow-up information for the Council to consider,
including:review of public comments expressing concern the public notice only pertained to
above ground work and not below ground work,and specific requests/issues raised from Verizon
Wireless.
Straw Poll:Support for placing the ordinance “as is”on a future agenda item for Council
action.All Council Members were in favor.
Matt Cassel spoke on providing notice for above vs.below ground work,including:verified
outreach broadened for below ground work would utilize more employees (resource issue),a
database would be needed for recording/verifying notification to residences affected,the need
for defining boundaries of who should receive notifications,current City notification policy (no
City monitoring –not well defined,no specificity)vs.a new ordinance (holding companies
accountable),City’s capability to enforce fines (unable to without a permit issued for work in the
public right-of-way),possibility to deny permits if noticing was not provided (if stated in an
ordinance),current noticing process for City work in the public right-of-way (email list,website
posting,flyers left at residences –a year in advance for many projects),fines/fining
being heavily restricted by State Code and not seen as a strong tool (notice was required and
$25/day was barely impactful)but important to have in place,and the best leverage for the City
being the issuance of a permit (allowing more control of the outcomes with contractors).
Kimberly Chytrus provided information regarding:existing City policy for notifying residents
(not codified),service providers currently providing noticing on barriers/traffic cones on
intersections to notify the neighborhood and not on individual homes (needing to be addressed
within the proposed ordinance),issue raised by Verizon Wireless that it was not appropriate for
them notify adjacent property owners for potential construction when permits were not yet
secured (having to provide notice before permits were approved)but willing to provide noticing
after permitting/before construction (verification requiring additional City resources),and the
need to codify the Council’s preferred parameters for above and below ground noticing
requirements.
Councilmember Mano expressed concerns that current noticing was vague,there were various
stages of construction work done at different times,and landscaping was not always repaired
promptly after work was completed and/or correctly.He suggested the requiring of noticing be
the burden of the provider to track noticing/provide proof of noticing,and that noticing require
specific details of the work to be done.
Councilmember Johnston said he was sensitive to the volume of work it would entail for the
providers regarding notification/verification of pending construction work,and would be
interested in requiring (within an ordinance)an online posting of information regarding the
work to be done (name of company doing work,where,when,and contact information)be made
available to the public.
Councilmember Wharton said he envisioned the required noticing to go as far as a flyer/postcard
on the resident’s door,a mailer (and receipt of mass mailing and who they were sent to),or an
affidavit (stating specifics of verified noticing),and if complaints arose for no notice provided
–only then City resources/staff would be needed to look into it and suggested an online form for
providers to confirm they completed the required noticing.He added that relying on good-faith
for providers to provide noticing to residents was no longer working.
Blake Thomas acknowledged there was a desire for an ordinance that spelled out best
practices and it was Engineering/Community &Neighborhood’s role to work with Ms.Chytraus,
et al to deliver that product with the providers maintaining those records,and hoped to come
back to the Council with that in mind.
Councilmember Folwer inquired what a reasonable time frame would be to revisit the
underground noticing requirements portion,looking at policies in place,and perhaps add what
was discussed today (noticing timeline/specifications).Ms.Chytraus said she recognized the
importance of the issue and said she would prioritize it,inquired what the Council would want to
see for underground work that was different from what was proposed for above ground work,
and advised that the ordinance (as written)was for pre-permit notification to adjacent property
owners (working with the provider on what evidence would be accepted).Councilmember
Fowler offered that perhaps adding the term underground to the proposed ordinance would
allow for revisiting the issue sooner than later.Ms Chytraus verified that adding the preferred
requirements for underground work and elements of what was discussed today into the
proposed ordinance would not take a lot of additional time.
5.Ordinance:Library Budget Amendment No.1 for Fiscal Year 2020-21 ~5:30 p.m.
30 min.
The Council will be briefed about a proposal to amend the budget for the Library Fund for Fiscal
Year 2020-21.Budget amendments happen several times each year to reflect adjustments to the

digital access to underserved populations in the City,for earthquake repairs to the Main Library

Peter Bromberg provided information regarding requests within the General Fund and
Capital Fund,including:$170,895 for continuation of Master Facilities Planning process (out of
Fund Balance –carried forward to Fiscal Year (FY)2021 budget),$30,000 for earthquake
repairs (out of Fund Balance),$420,000 for Institute,Museum,and Library Services Grant from

and $125,000 for HVAC filtration for the safety of staff/patrons (installation of ionization
filtration systems for all eight library locations).
Councilmember Mano inquired how the Council and constituents could be more involved with
the Master Facilities planning process.Mr.Bromberg said he could provide a presentation to the
Council at a future work session,and/or set up individual/small group meetings with the Council
to discuss further details.He added that public engagement sessions were conducted last year
but was worth revisiting through updated virtual meetings via social media.

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY
TO:City Council Members
FROM: Nick Tarbet, Policy Analyst
DATE: February 9, 2021
RE:Text Amendment:
Public Notice for Permits to Work in the
Public Right of Way
PROJECT TIMELINE:
Written Briefing: Jan 12, 2021
Briefing #Feb 9, 2021
Set Date: December 8, 2020
Public Hearing 1: Jan 19, 2021
Potential Action: TBD
PUBLIC HEARING SUMMARY
During the public hearing members of the public spoke about the proposed changes and asked some
questions, Additionally, a letter from Verizon was submitted pertaining to the proposed change.
A few individuals requested the Council require public notice for below ground work as well. Some
also said current contractors are not doing a good job of restoring property to the way it was before the
work happened.
Verizon representatives spoke during the public hearing and also submitted a letter, outlining their
concerns. They stated the current process is efficient and they would prefer to provide notice to
property owners after the permit has been received. The new ordinance would require them to provide
notice before they obtain a permit.
Council staff met with staff from CAN and the Attorney’s Office to go over the comments and
formulate the following responses.
1. Request to apply the notification requirement to work “below ground” as well.
Administrative staff said this is obviously possible, but it will likely require an increase
in staff and costs for the city to monitor and / or respond to concerns about projects.
The proposed change before the Council would only require public notice to adjacent
property owners for above ground work – typically, this type of work is limited to a few
properties that are near the above ground poles/facilities.
Page | 2
Underground work can go for hundreds of yards (larger/longer projects would be
miles). It would take more staff to verify and ensure the public notices were properly
provided.
Administrative staff have prepared some very preliminary estimates for cost/staffing
impact to the City.
They will be available during the briefing to respond to questions the Council may have
about potential cost of notifying for below ground work.
2. Reponses to Verizon’s Letter
Verizon’s request: Allow permit holders to post notice after the permit is obtained.
Prefer to submit template with permit application and actual notice is provided 48-72
hours before work commences.
Administration response:
o CAN staff said the current process has not been working and that is the reason
for the proposed changes. The goal is to get the notifications out sooner, so the
public is aware of the work before the permit is issued.
o The new process would require the permit holder to submit evidence that the
notice was provided to adjacent property owners. They then submit that as part
of their permit application. The work would typically commence about 2-3
weeks later.
Verizon’s request: Clarify type of evidence that is required to demonstrate applicant
has satisfied notification requirement.
Administration response:
o CAN staff said notice such as a door hangar, with timestamped photos is one
way to satisfy this requirement.
o The goal is to avoid situations where a piece of paper is placed on a doorstep
that can easily be blown away.
Verizon’s request: Adopt definition of adjacent owner currently in notification
process.
Administration response:
o CAN staff stated this could be clarified.
Verizon’s request: Clarify purpose of the notice and what is to be included in the
description of the purpose of construction.
Administration response:
o CAN staff has stated they can help provide examples of the type of language
they that should be on the notice.
o They can do this to help ensure consistency for all permit holders.
Verizon’s request: Clarify definition of above ground work; does it include
excavation to run conduit or lay fiber.
Administration response:
o CAN staff has stated this type of work applies to facilities that are permanently
above ground or on poles or anything that would fall under the master license
agreement for small cells.
o Typically, this type of work would also include trenching for conduit.
Page | 3
Verizon’s request: Any other info reasonably required by City engineer is too broad
Administration response:
o CAN staff stated this is meant to be specific to notice requirements. They can
provide some language to clarify that.
POLICY QUESTIONS
1. Some Council Members have expressed interest to require more public notice for below
ground work.
Does the Council want to adopt these proposed changes and also adopt a legislative
action asking the Administration to come back with a proposal for increased public
outreach for underground work in the public right of way?
o This may include identifying options to require contractors to do the outreach
and an option for the city to be responsible for providing the public notice
2. The Council may want to ask about the description of information that would be suggested /
requested for the notice. For example, location, description, duration of type of work; contact
information for the contractor and City, etc.?
3. The Council may wish to ask what the change in the timeline for permit holders would be and
how the Administration can notify potential applicants of the changes.
The following information was provide for the January 19 public hearing. It is
provided again for background purposes.
WORK SESSION SUMMARY
This item was on the January 12 agenda as a written briefing. Council Members did not raise any
concerns or ask staff questions about the proposed changes.
The public hearing is scheduled for January 19.
The following information was provide for the January 12 work session briefing. It is
provided again for background purposes.
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Council will be briefed on proposed amendments to City code requiring permit holders to provide
notice to property owners whose properties are adjacent to the above groundwork that will be
performed in the public way.
The proposed changes were requested in response to numerous constituent inquiries about the lack of
notice to adjacent property owners. Much of the right-of-way work that is performed is governed by
State statute and limits the amount of interaction the City has with the work. However, in balancing
the work that is performed and the impact to residents, some additional noticing steps are being
added to the ordinance.
The key changes would require the franchise holder/applicant to provide the following:
Evidence that they provided notice to all property owners whose properties are adjacent to the
portion of the public way where the work is being performed.
Page | 4
Notice that includes the name of the permit holder performing the construction, the purpose of
the construction, and a contact phone number and email for the permit holder.
Evidence shall be satisfactory to the City Engineer that all adjacent property owners have
received notice.
Related text cleanups to match current practice.
Since work in the public right of way is overseen by the City’s Engineering Division, they have
reviewed the ordinance in collaboration with the Attorney’s Office. Engineering has expressed their
support for these proposed changes.
Administrative staff have noted the contractor will have to give notice of the construction prior to
submitting an application for a permit to Engineering. Once Engineering approves the permit, the
contractor may move forward with construction.
PUBLIC PROCESS
Engineering provided Council Staff a list of the companies who do much of the work in the public right
of way. Council staff emailed this group to let them know about the proposed changes, and the dates of
the briefing and public hearing.
POLICY QUESTIONS
1. For the properties that would be included in the notification, the Council may wish to consider
expanding the requirement beyond the proposal of adjacent property owners.
2. If the Council has questions about the timing of the when the notice must be given to when the
permit is granted, the Council may wish to ask the administration to explain the process for
when the notice must be given before receiving the permit for construction.
3. If it would be helpful, the Council may wish to ask the Attorney’s office or Administration

Re: Salt Lake City – Municipal Code – Amendments to Sections 14.32.030 and
14.32.035 to Require Notice for Permits to Work in the Public Way
Dear City Council Members:
We serve as counsel to Verizon Wireless. We appreciate the opportunity to provide
comments on and participate in Salt Lake City’s proposed amendments to Sections 14.32.030 and
14.32.035 to require notice of permits to work in the public way (“SLC Wireless Code”). Verizon
Wireless wishes to work with City Council and City Staff to adopt revisions to the SLC Wireless
Code that address the City’s concerns of ensuring residents whose properties are adjacent to above
groundwork that will be performed in the public way while balancing an efficient notification
process prior to construction that falls within the parameters of what is permitted under federal and
state law. Verizon Wireless currently provides notice to adjacent property owners after it receives
its permit, which is typically 48-72 hours prior to performing its wireless and wireline work. The
current process is efficient, notifies the correct property owners, provides notice at the appropriate
time during the process, and complies with federal and state law. Verizon Wireless recommends
City Council codify the notification process that currently is in practice. This letter outlines the
notification process currently in place, provides comments regarding the proposed Sections to
align with the process currently in place, and addresses the policy questions outlined in the City
Staff’s agenda.

1. Current Verizon Wireless Notification Process of Wireline and Wireless Work in
Public Way
Currently, for each Verizon Wireless small wireless facility deployed in public ways in
Salt Lake City, Verizon Wireless notifies adjacent property owners (where work will be conducted
in the public way) of its wireless and wireline work 48-72 hours in advance of performing the
work. The notification process Verizon Wireless follows is:
• Notice - Door Hanger Template. Verizon Wireless prepares a door hanger
notification template for the above ground work it performs in the public way with
respect to the small wireless facility. The door hanger template includes name,
company identifying information, description of the work and where it will be
performed, an email address, informational website, and phone number. A copy of
Verizon Wireless’s door hanger notification template is enclosed as Exhibit 1.
Verizon Wireless’s wireline counterpart also prepares a door hanger for notification
template for the fiber work it performs in the public way and submits it with their
application. This door hanger includes name, company identifying information,
description of the work and where it will be performed, and an email address. A
copy of wireline door hanger notification template is enclosed as Exhibit 2.
• Notice Door Hanger Template submitted with Permit Application. The door hanger
template is submitted as part of Verizon Wireless’s permit application, and the fiber
contractor also submits its door hanger template as part of its permit application for
the fiber work. The City provides the applicant notice if the door hanger template
is not provided, and the applicant is provided the opportunity to submit the door
hanger template.
• Scope of Door Hanger Notification - Adjacent Property Owners. The door hangers
are placed on the properties of adjacent property owners. Adjacent property owners
are defined as all residential properties directly adjacent the path of the above-
ground construction work being performed in the public way or directly impacted
by the route of the work to the location of the proposed small wireless facility (e.g.
the homes affected by boring and directly around the site construction).
• Timing of Door Hanger Notification. After the permit application is approved by
the City Engineer, Verizon Wireless places the door hanger notifications on the
residential adjacent property owners approximately 72 hours prior to when the work
is commenced in the public way. The timing of the notification aligns with the
City’s goal to provide notice to adjacent property owners that work will be
performed that may directly impact those property owners.
As the City Staff notes in its January 12, 2021 memo, the current notification process is
not a written requirement at this time in the SLC Wireless Code or the City’s Design Guidelines
Salt Lake City
City Council
January 15, 2021
Page 3
Active/52780466.1
or application requirements. Importantly, Verizon Wireless has followed this notification process
for the past two years commencing in 2019. The notification process the City currently uses is
efficient and provides adequate notice because: 1) the notice is provided after the permit is issued
and 48-72 hours prior to the construction work in the public way and notifies adjacent property
owners that work is going to be performed; 2) the notice notifies “adjacent property owners” whose
property is adjacent to the public way where work will be performed; and 3) the timing of the
notification complies with the goal of the City to notify property owners that work will be
performed and is within the scope of what the City may do with respect to approval of small
wireless permits under state and federal law.
2. Verizon Wireless’s Comments to Proposed Amendments to Section 14.32.030 and
14.32.035
Verizon Wireless requests City Council kindly accept the following comments concerning
the proposed Sections on behalf of Verizon Wireless. Also, attached you will find a redline of the
proposed SLC Wireless Code with Verizon Wireless’s proposed changes and suggestions as set
forth in detail below.
a. Section 14.32.030(A)(13)
i. Proposed Language in Ordinance: For all above ground installations,
evidence that the applicant has provided notice to all property owners whose
properties are adjacent to the portion of the public way where the work is
being performed. The notice shall contain the name of the permit holder,
the purpose of the construction, and a contact phone number and email for
the permit holder. Such evidence shall be satisfactory to the City Engineer
that all adjacent property owners have received notice.
ii. VZW Comment - Timing of When Notice Is Required. The proposed
amendment is in the section titled “Permit Application Requirements.”
Under the proposed amendment, the applicant will have to provide evidence
that “the applicant has provided notice” to adjacent property owners before
it submits the permit application. Verizon Wireless respectfully requests
that an applicant be required to provide the notification template that it will
use to provide notice at the time it submits its application permit and, then,
an application will provide the notification to the adjacent property owners
48-72 hours in advance of the work to be performed in the public way. This
proposed timing is consistent with the current notice practice where an
application submits the template with the permit application and, then, posts
notice shortly before the work commences. It is not a logical step in the
process to require an applicant to post a notice for construction work when
the applicant does not yet have a permit. To do so may confuse the adjacent
Salt Lake City
City Council
January 15, 2021
Page 4
Active/52780466.1
property owners as it may indicate the applicant has started the construction
process when it has not yet started.
Also, this proposed timing of notice aligns with the City’s goal of providing
notice about the work that will be performed in the public way. Providing
the notice in advance of the permit being issued does not allow the applicant
to specify when the work will be done and may raise questions and
confusion if the notice is provided weeks in advance of when the work will
be performed.
Further, providing notice in advance of the application permit may
improperly suggest that the City may consider any public input as part of its
decision making process to approve the permit. Small wireless facilities in
the right-of-way; and the co-location, installation, operation, modification,
maintenance or replacement of small wireless facilities are a permitted use
by right in any zone and subject only to administrative review. Utah Code
Annotated § 54-21-204(1). The Utah Legislature determined, in enacting
S.B. 189 that deployment of small wireless facilities is most effective in
rights-of-way to ensure that all citizens in the state will have access to
advanced technology and information and is a matter of statewide concern
and interest. By declaring that placement of small wireless facilities or
networks in the right-of-way are “a permitted used under the authority’s
zoning regulation and subject only to administrative review”, the statute
furthers the legislative declaration that small wireless facilities should be
deployed most effectively in public way. Under S.B. 189, a local authority
has the power to give consent to any wireless provider to erect poles or
construct any small cell facilities or small cell networks in public rights-of-
way. However, the local authority’s consent cannot be unreasonably
withheld and Utah Code Annotated § 54-21-103 specifies the limitations on
a local authority’s permitting authority.
Given the City is limited on when it may withhold its consent for a wireless
provider’s permitted by use of the public way, it is important to be mindful
of this as to when the City requires notice to adjacent property owners. If
the City requires notice prior to the issuance of a permit, adjacent property
owners may view this as providing discretion and consideration of their
comments and the opportunity for valid applications to be denied in a
process where a statutory right involved. To allow for any public input into
this review process improperly conveys that the City Engineer may consider
any public input as part of its decision making process. The City Engineer
cannot improperly deny an application where the applicant has satisfied
these requirements or the city will be in violation of state and federal law.

City Council
January 15, 2021

Active/52780466.1
iii. VZW Comment - Evidence of Notification Requirement. Verizon Wireless
respectfully requests that City Council clarify the type of evidence that will
be required to demonstrate an applicant has satisfied the notification
requirement. Verizon Wireless recommends the City accept a one-page
construction drawing that denotes which adjacent property owners the
applicant notified of the work to be performed in the public way, the
signature of the applicant representative that provided the notices, and the
date the notices were provided. A copy of a sample of the proposed one-
page form to evidence the notification is enclosed as Exhibit 3. This one
page construction drawing is an excerpt from the construction drawings that
are submitted to the City and approved as part of the permit application. The
wireline / fiber provider would also provide a similar drawing after their
notices have been provided, subject to whether notices are required for fiber
work in the public way. The applicants would upload this document to the
City’s system after the notices have been posted.
iv. VZW Comment - Definition of Adjacent Property Owner. The proposed
amendment does not define the term “adjacent property owner.” Verizon
Wireless respectfully requests City Council adopt the definition that
currently is used in the notification process. Adjacent property owners are
defined as all properties directly adjacent the path of the above-ground
construction work being performed in the public way or directly impacted
by the route of the work to the location of the proposed small wireless
facility (e.g. the homes affected by boring and directly around the site
construction).
This is the correct scope of which property owners should be notified as it
aligns with the City’s goal of notifying the property owners who may be
directly impacted by the above ground work and are directly adjacent to
where the above ground work will be performed. The Utah state statute
already provides wireless providers with the right to deploy small wireless
facilities within the public way. If the application complies with state law
and the City’s code, the City shall approve the application. No factual basis
is given to expand the scope of adjacent property owners to properties
within a certain radius or blocks of the proposed facility, and adds an
impermissible regulatory burden when the current process is working well
and fairly for all concerned.
v. VZW Comment - Purpose of Construction. Verizon Wireless respectfully
requests that City Council clarify the purpose of the notice and what is to
be included in the description of the “purpose of construction”. Currently,
Verizon Wireless’s door hangers include a description of the work and
where it will be performed. This notice correctly and already aligns with the
Salt Lake City
City Council
January 15, 2021
Page 6
Active/52780466.1
City’s goal to provide notice to property owners that construction is
commencing and the application complies with local, state, and federal
requirements.
vi. VZW Comment - Above-Ground Work in Public Way. Verizon Wireless
respectfully requests City Council clarify the definition of “above ground
work” and whether it includes work such as excavation to run conduit or
lay fiber. Verizon Wireless proposes that notification be provided if the
primary purpose of the work to be performed in the public way is above-
ground work such as constructing a wireless facility. If the primary purpose
is to run conduit underground, then, the applicant is not required to provide
notice of work in the public way. Currently, an adjacent property owner
likely receives two notifications – one for above-ground wireless work and
one for fiber work – and these notices may occur at different times. This
may cause confusion for the property owners regarding what work is being
performed and by which entity.
b. Section 14.32.030(A)(14)
i. Proposed Language in Ordinance: Any other information that may be
reasonably be required by the City Engineer.
ii. VZW Comment. This provision is significantly overbroad and allows for
substantial amount of discretion on the part of the City Engineer as there
are no limitations on “other information” that could be required. The current
application process already requires all of the information needed under
Section 14.32.035(A), and this provision was reviewed when the City
Council enacted the provision, so no new regulation is needed. Further, the
term “reasonably” is subject to varying interpretations. Verizon Wireless
respectfully requests City Council remove this provision or provide more
specificity as to what type of “other information” the City Engineer may
request. One potential alternative may be “Any other technological,
engineering, or construction information that may be reasonably required
by the City Engineer subject to the requirements under federal, state, and
local law.”
c. Section 14.32.035(A)(8)
i. Proposed Language in Ordinance: Evidence that the applicant has provided
required notice to adjacent property owners.

Active/52780466.1
ii. VZW Comment. Verizon Wireless respectfully requests City Council adopt
its proposal set forth in Section 2.a.iii above as to what is sufficient evidence
for the applicant to submit to show it provided the required notice.
3. City Staff Report – Policy Questions
In the City Staff Report regarding the proposed amendments to Sections 14.32.030 and
14.32.035, the City Staff includes six policy questions for City Council to consider. Verizon
Wireless provides its comments and guidance on those policy questions that are appropriate for
the City Council’s consideration based upon its experience with the current notice it provides in
Salt Lake City as well as its experience with notice requirements in other jurisdictions through the
west region.
1. For the properties that would be included in the notification, the Council may wish
to consider expanding the requirement beyond the proposal of adjacent property owners.
For the reasons set forth in Section 2.a.iv above, Verizon Wireless respectfully requests
City Council focus the notification to the adjacent property owners. As noted in the City Staff’s
report, the purpose of the notification is to ensure that adjacent property owners whose properties
are adjacent to the above groundwork receive notice that will be performed in the public way and
where the work is being performed. Focusing the notification to only adjacent property owners
accomplishes the City’s objective and would be compliant with state and federal law in responding
to those comments and denying permits.
2. If the Council has questions about the timing of the when the notice must be given
to when the permit is granted, the Council may wish to ask the administration to explain the process
for when the notice must be given before receiving the permit for construction.
For the reasons set forth above in Section 2.a.ii, Verizon Wireless respectfully requests
City Council require a notice template to be submitted with the permit application and the actual
notice be provided after the permit is issued and 48-72 hours before the work commences in the
public way. This also aligns with the City’s goal to provide timely notice to property owners when
work in the public way may occur that is adjacent to their property.
6. The Council may wish to ask about options to address issues when the noticing
requirements are not followed.
Verizon Wireless proposes that if there is an issue when the notice requirements are not
followed, the City provide the applicant with notice and either require the applicant to resubmit
the notice template or provide the applicant with the contact information of any individuals or
entities who did not receive the requisite notice and the applicant will be required to contact that
individual or entity within 24 hours.

Again, Verizon Wireless appreciates the opportunity to comment on Salt Lake City’s
proposed amendments regarding notice requirements for work in the public way. Verizon Wireless
wishes to work with Salt Lake City to enact regulations that which conform to state and federal
law, are reasonable for implementation, and which are fair to all stakeholders. Verizon Wireless
believes that such results can be accomplished. Verizon Wireless representatives will be in
attendance at the City Council meeting on Tuesday, January 19 and available to answer any
questions you may have. We would appreciate the opportunity to talk to you with you and discuss
these matters. Thank you.

As the Administration transmittal indicates, the Library System Board of Directors at its December
2020 meeting adopted a motion to approve a budget amendment of $620,895 for the Library General Fund, and
$260,000 for the Library Capital Projects Fund.
The largest revenue source and allocation is a $420,000 grant from the Institute of Museum and
Library Services to develop a model for increasing digital access to underserved populations in Salt Lake City.
The grant originally was expected to be awarded in spring 2020. The grant will be used for the System’s Digital
Navigators Program and help people in Rose Park, Poplar Grove, and Glendale get connected to the Internet.
The program got under way in December 2020. “Navigators,” who work one-on-one with residents, helped 51
people during December, according to Library Director Peter Bromberg.1 The program goal is to help people get
connected with affordable home internet, find affordable computing devices, and learn basic digital skills.
The proposed amendment also would allocate $170,895 from fund balance to help complete the
System’s Master Facilities Plan. The plan is under way, but was not completed by the end of the last fiscal year.
The City Council first considered the plan in November 2019. According to Library Director Bromberg, the
Master Facilities Plan will be used in conjunction with the 2019 Facilities Condition Assessment to guide the
System’s long-term plans for buildings, services, and collections, and assuring that decisions are based on
community and staff input about community aspirations, changing neighborhoods, demographics, and
economic conditions.2
Another $30,000 would be allocated to help pay for damage to the Main Library from the March 2020
earthquake. According to the transmittal, “While Library staff was able to do many of the repairs, outside
contractors were hired to replace broken glass in windows and partitions throughout the Main Library.”
Two allocations pertaining to the Capital Projects Fund are $135,000 for the Sprague Branch Library
renovation, and $125,000 to install specialized filters in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning units
throughout the Library System.
At the Library Board of Directors meeting January 25, Deputy Director Deborah Ehrman said the
Sprague project is close to receiving a certificate of occupancy. The proposed allocation would help pay for a
completely redone east entrance to branch and collections. The east entrance now will have outdoor areas for
people to sit. Ms. Ehrman said furniture and computers are scheduled to be installed by mid-March.
Allocating the $125,000 would speed up installation of ionization filtration systems in HVAC units at all
libraries. According to the transmittal, “In addition to mitigating the spread of Covid-19, these systems kill mold,
bacteria, and other viruses and reduce allergens, odors, smoke and particles.”

MEMO | November 10, 2020
To: Salt Lake City Public Library Board of Directors, Salt Lake City Administration and City Council
From: Peter Bromberg, Executive Director
Re: Budget Amendment 1 for FY2020-21
Library Administration is proposing a $620,895 increase to the FY21 general fund budget and a $260,000
increase to the FY21 capital project budget for the following items:
General Fund Increases
1. Master Facilities Plan-$170,895: The Library’s FY20 general fund budget was amended to
carryover $30,000 from FY19 and add $195,400 in new funding for a comprehensive master
facilities plan. The plan is underway but was not completed by June 30, 2020. The remaining
funds are needed in FY21 to complete the plan.
2. Institute of Museum and Library Services Grant-$420,000: The Library received a grant from the
Institute of Museum and Library Services to develop a model for increasing digital access to
underserved populations in our community. The Library is working with the National Digital
Inclusion Alliance, the Urban Libraries Council and local partners to develop this model and
increase access to technology and digital literacy education in identified areas of Salt Lake City.
3. Earthquake repairs-$30,000: The Library sustained minimal damage during the March
earthquake. While Library staff was able to do many of the repairs, outside contractors were
hired to replace broken glass in windows and partitions throughout the Main Library.

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY
TO:City Council Members
FROM: Ben Luedtke
Budget & Public Policy Analyst
DATE:February 9, 2021
RE: Awarding U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Coronavirus Aid,
Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act grant funds for
Community Development Block Grants (CDBG-CV), Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG-CV),
and Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA-CV)
NEW INFORMATION
At the February 2 briefing, the Council discussed with the Administration updates from community partners and
the Health Department about potential uses of the unallocated funds: $468,900 CDBG-CV and $460,828 ESG-
CV. Additional information is expected after HAND staff meets with Salt Lake County to review applications for
the County’s vaccine equity and access program targeted in low income and underserved communities including
the residential westside of Salt Lake City. Some of the applications to the County might qualify to use some of the
City’s unallocated funds but clarification on this possibility is pending. The County set aside $200,000 for the
effort but received over $900,000 in applications.
The Council also requested the Administration return with estimates on the number of persons and households
served if existing applications to the City were to receive more funding than requested. HAND staff will confirm
which applications are expected to be scalable and to what degree within HUD’s spending deadline.
The Administration is reviewing how to split funding between three ESG-CV applications that would provide
vaccine distribution assistance such as transportation to and from injection sites, provide reminders for when to
get a second shot and outreach to specific populations.
— The Council was briefed on the information below at the January 19 work session —
At the January 19 meeting, the Council received a briefing about the process leading up to the proposed grant
awards, deadlines to use the funds, program funding categories, the 23 applications and remaining funds
without applications for how to use them.
The Council can decide to approve some or all the applications including at funding amounts different than what
is requested or recommended. The Council could also decide how to use the remaining funds at a separate time;
approving funding for the applications is not dependent upon deciding how to use remaining funds. The Council
may wish to discuss with the Administration gathering more information on options for the remaining funds
and whether the Council is comfortable moving forward awarding funds to some or all eligible applications.
The Council asked several questions for follow up. The questions and responses are shown below.
Project Timeline:
1st Briefing: January 19, 2021
2nd Briefing: February 2, 2021
3rd Briefing: February 9, 2021
Potential Action: February 16, 2021
Page | 2
1. Could the Health Department provide a response / details about whether the remaining HUD-CV funds
are a viable option to expedite distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, especially in low income and
underserved communities in the City? It would be helpful to have details on how the Health Department
would utilize these funds such as setting up a temporary distribution center in low income
neighborhoods, hiring more staff, transportation for individuals, etc.
o HAND Staff is in communication with SLCo Health Department. Health Dept is responsible
for equitable access and distribution of vaccinations. Per conversation with Health
Department Director responsible for vaccines, the need is additional support for outreach,
education, and transportation. The Health Department has an open RFA (request for
applications) to solicit requests that will help ensure equitable access and distribution of
vaccines. Available funding is limited to $200,000. Current applications exceed $760,000.
SLC could help fill the gap with the remaining CDBG-CV funds. We hope to have more info in
advance of the 2/2 Council meeting and identify potential partners and the need that could be
filled.
o Fourth Street Clinic could use additional funding to support staff and supplies as they
administer vaccines.
o Soap to Hope could use additional funding to help with outreach, follow up reminders for
second shot, and transportation services
o Volunteers of America could use additional funding to help with outreach, coordination of
vaccine shots, and transportation.
2. Council Member Johnston also suggested asking the Salt Lake Valley Coalition to End Homelessness
about how they could use the remaining funds.
o Per Katherine at Salt Lake Valley Coalition to End Homelessness, there is not a strong need for
motel operations as a non-congregate shelter option. The scalable need is additional Rapid
Rehousing supports to get homeless individuals and families housed.
3. Does Nourish to Flourish have eligible expenses for some of the HUD-CV funds? Some Council
Members expressed interest in using the funds for food assistance.
o Nourish to Flourish received funding in the past from City and County. They have utilized all
previous funding that has been allocated. They can scale any dollar amount to quickly deploy
food to low-income populations.
o CDBG-CV – Community Stabilization could be utilized for this purpose.
4. Could you please provide the relevant regulations for using CDBG-CV and ESG-CV for purchasing
housing to provide emergency pandemic housing? The idea shared by Council Members is to purchase a
property such as a motel to provide emergency housing with social distancing (as opposed to traditional
congregate settings).
o State, City and County explored the use of ESG-CV funding for purchasing a motel to use as a
non-congregate shelter, then transition it to an affordable housing opportunity (SRO, PSH,
etc.) once the pandemic subsides. City would have to pay back any ESG-CV funding utilized to
accomplish that goal. See attached for more details. Please reach back if you have additional
questions.
Staff Note: See Attachment 3 for notices and regulations related to this topic. It may be possible to dispose
of a motel purchased with these funds by transferring the title to a third party instead of selling and
paying back HUD with the proceeds. The City Attorney’s Office would need to review this option if the
Council is interested in exploring further.
5. Could the Council use remaining ESG-CV funds for any CDBG-CV applications as a way to free up
CDBG-CV funds for other uses?
o Short answer yes. However, this would require parceling out specific budget requests of
applications. Here are two examples.
First Step House’s CDBG-CV COVID-19 Response Program:
o ESG-CV can pay for some of the outreach supplies they are giving to individuals
Page | 3
o ESG-CV can also pay for Hazard Pay and any training they may have to give to
their staff
4th Street Clinic:
o ESG-CV can pay for staff training and hazard pay
o ESG-CV can pay for any of the supplies they can are giving to individuals
— The Council was briefed on the information below at the January 19 work session —
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
As part of the CARES Act, Salt Lake City was awarded $7,138,203 in HUD grants for projects and programs
directly related to responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. The funds must be spent by September 2022. All
CDBG-CV funds must be under contract with community partners by June 1, 2021 and by May 17, 2021 for ESG-
CV and HOPWA-CV funds. The CARES Act HUD grants are subject to separate regulations than the regular
annual awards so the target area limitation and Consolidated Plan objectives do not control how these funds can
be used. If the Council approved awards based on mayoral funding recommendations, then there would be
remaining funds without applications for how to use them. Specifically, there would be $468,900 CDBG-CV and
$460,828 ESG-CV remaining. The advisory board recommended remaining funds go to vaccination efforts for
vulnerable communities (see Policy Question #1).
In Budget Amendment #5 the Council approved the administrative portion of the three grants which award
funds to the Attorney’s Office, Finance Department and Housing and Neighborhood Development (HAND)
Division for managing the grants. In Budget Amendment #6 the Council supported via straw poll the $750,000
request from SwitchPoint for operating expenses at the temporary emergency winter shelter at the Salt Lake
Airport Inn. These actions still need to be formalized in the CARES Act HUD grants adoption resolution and
attached funding log.
The Administration used an expedited public process allowed by HUD which included shortened public
engagement steps and waiving the public hearing requirement so funds could benefit the community faster. The
expedited process still mirrored the regular annual HUD grant awards process by offering an open application
period for all interested parties, followed by resident advisory board review in public meetings, competitive
scoring and funding recommendations from the advisory board and a second set of funding recommendations
from the Mayor. The City Council makes the final funding decisions after considering the two sets of funding
recommendations, public feedback and deliberation. The Administration allowed applicants to submit requests
for additional funds after the open application period ended because requests were significant less than available
funding. As a result, some applicants increased their funding requests and others did not such as if the
program/project was not easily scalable.
Attachment 1 shows projects ranked by the combined score within each grant category. Attachment 2 is the
funding log for all three federal grants. The funding log combines advisory board and Administration scores as
shown in the far-right column which also lists maximum potential scores. The Additional Info section has a
timeline showing key dates over the past year on this topic and a table comparing the regular annual HUD grant
awards to the City to the one-time CARES Act HUD grants (labeled “CV” to distinguish from regular grants).
Comparing Requested Funding to Available Funding
Unusually, the requested funding from applicants is less than available funds. Requests are 90% of available
funding: $6,438,375 is requested compared to $7,138,203 in available funding. HUD has provided Salt Lake
City’s final CARES Act grant award amounts. The table below summarizes requested and available funding by
grant and the dollar difference.

Goal of the briefing: Discuss the Council’s priorities for the one-time CARES Act HUD grants, award
funding across eligible programs and projects, and decide how to use remaining funds.
Scoring Applications and Funding Recommendations
CDBG and ESG projects receive scores and funding recommendations from the Community Development and
Capital Improvement Program (CDCIP) Board. HOPWA projects receive funding recommendations from the
Housing Trust Fund (HTF) Advisory Board. The advisory board funding recommendations are provided to the
Mayor and City Council. The Council receives another set of funding recommendations from the Mayor. The
final decision is made by the Council for grant award amounts. Attachment 1 shows projects ranked by the
combined score within each grant category.
Disqualified Applications
Three applications for CDBG-CV were fully disqualified and one was partially disqualified for proposing
expenses ineligible under the pandemic relief grant regulations. One application for ESG-CV was fully
disqualified. The applications are listed below.
CDBG-CV:
Housing Stability #4 NeighborWorks SLC Homebuyer down payment assistance and home repair assistance
Note: the applicant submitted a new request for mortgage assistance to keep low income households
from losing housing. This new application was not reviewed by the advisory board.
Community Stabilization #12 Shelter the Homeless: Homeless Resource Center COVID Response
Note: the application was partially disqualified for ineligible expenses such as an ADA door opener
Small Business #14 9th South LLC Maven District
Note: the applicant would have been paying themselves and HUD requires greater separation when
awarding grants to for-profit firms
Other Category #15 Salt Lake City: Healthy Home Program replacing and upgrading air systems
Note: the application was ineligible because not directly related to pandemic responses
ESG-CV:
Emergency Shelter #7 The Inn Between: Medical Respite / Emergency Shelter
Note: the application did not meet HUD’s definition of emergency temporary shelter
Differences between Advisory Board and Mayoral Funding Recommendations
A majority of board and mayoral recommendations are identical; however, three exceptions exist. Below is a

POLICY QUESTIONS
1.What to do with $929,728 of Remaining Funds – The Council may wish to discuss with the
Administration what options are preferred with the remaining funds that did not receive applications to use.
Remaining funds based on the Mayor’s recommendations are $468,900 CDBG-CV and $460,828 ESG-CV.
The advisory board recommended remaining funds go to vaccination efforts for vulnerable communities.
Another option is the competitive application process could be reopened for another round. Staff note:
public health services are usually funded by and provided by the local health department, in this case Salt
Lake County, which has received its own share of COVID relief funds. The Council may wish to encourage
the Administration to discuss with the County if these funds would be helpful at this point, or if there are
other ways to augment public health efforts. Alternately the Council may wish to discuss with the
Administration if there are other eligible traditionally city services that could use these funds.
2.Different Recommendations from Board and Mayor – The Council may wish to ask the
Administration why the Mayor’s recommendations for three applications (detailed in the table above) are
different than the resident advisory Board’s funding recommendations.
3.Disqualified Applications – The Council may wish to ask the Administration for details on why four
applications were disqualified, one was partially disqualified and if other City resources could help meet
these community needs.
4.Coordination with Funding Our Future (FOF) Housing Programs – The Council may wish to
discuss with the Administration how HUD grant awards are being coordinated with FOF housing programs.
Most of the community organizations that received FOF housing allocations also have mayoral funding
recommendations for HUD grant awards. Some of the community organizations are receiving FOF and
HUD grant dollars for the same or similar programs. This approach could help the City and community
organizations leverage multiple funding sources.

Re: SLC CARES HUD-CV to lease, acquire or renovate a Temporary Emergency Shelter
Summary:
CDBG-CV funds:
Acquisitions or rehabs can justifiably be used to fulfill the CARES Act purposes
depending upon the circumstances.
ESG-CV funds:
Can be used to either lease, acquire or renovate a building to be used as a temporary
emergency shelter, not to exceed a total of $2.5M in ESG-CV funds.
Lead based paint requirements apply, but not habitability standards, and grantees
assume environmental review requirements.
Can be used within Salt Lake County.
Funds can be used from March 10, 2020 (the City’s COVID Declaration) to January 31,
2022.
May deviate from applicable procurement procedures.
Disposition: Retain or sell and then compensate HUD or transfer title to 3rd party.
The State posed a question to HUD re: acquisition for a shelter (10/13/2020):
HUD responded that SNAPS is working on other ways/options, but that currently the
ONLY disposition options are retain or sell and then compensate HUD.
*****************************************************************************
CDBG-CV Notice, 8/7/2020
III.B.5.(f) Eligible Activities
Grantees may use CDBG-CV funds only for those activities carried out to prevent, prepare for, and
respond to coronavirus. By law, use of funds for any other purpose is unallowable. To satisfy these
purposes, grantees may assist activities that respond to direct effects, such as the need to rehabilitate a
building to add isolation rooms for recovering coronavirus patients. A grantee may also undertake
activities to address indirect effects of the virus, such as the economic and housing market disruptions
caused by social distancing measures and stay at home orders implemented to prevent the spread of
coronavirus.
Some activities clearly tie back to the purposes of the CARES Act, such as public services, economic
development and microenterprise assistance, public facilities, and the rehabilitation of private buildings
to provide housing. However, HUD is not prohibiting grantees from carrying out any particular CDBG
eligible activity described in the HCD Act and the part 570 regulations, because other CDBG eligible
activities, such as acquisition, can justifiably be used to fulfill the CARES Act purposes depending upon
the circumstances.
*****************************************************************************
ESG-CV HUD Notice, 8/31/2020
3. Additional Eligible Activities. In addition to the eligible activities listed in 24 CFR 576 – Subpart
B, funds may be used for the following activities:
a. Temporary emergency shelters. As permitted by the CARES Act, ESG-CV funds may be used
to pay for temporary emergency shelters for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in
order to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus.
(i) Eligible costs include:
(a) Leasing existing real property or temporary structures to be used as temporary emergency
shelters;
(b) Acquisition of real property (e.g. hotels, ancillary structures, parking lots). The total amount of
ESG-CV funds used for acquisition must not exceed $2.5 million per real property;
(c) Renovation (including major rehabilitation and conversion) of real property (e.g., hotels) into
temporary emergency shelters. Eligible costs include labor, tools, and other costs for renovation;
(d) Shelter operations costs including the costs of maintenance (including minor or routine repairs),
rent, security, fuel, equipment, insurance, utilities, food, furnishings, supplies necessary for the
operation of the temporary emergency shelter;
(e) Services, including essential services under 24 CFR 576.102(a)(1), housing search and
placement services under 24 CFR 576.105(b)(1), and housing search and counseling services as
provided under 24 CFR 578.53(e)(8); except as otherwise stated in this Notice or 24 CFR part
576.408; and,
(f) Other shelter costs HUD pre-approves in writing.
(ii) Requirements:
(a) As permitted by the CARES Act, the use of funds for these shelters will not be subject to the
habitability standards under section 417(c) of the McKinney-Vento Act, shelter standards at 24 CFR
576.403(b), or the environmental review requirements that otherwise apply to the use of ESG funds
if the shelters have been determined by State or local health officials to be necessary to prevent,
prepare for, and respond to coronavirus. Recipients and subrecipients must still comply with
nondiscrimination and applicable accessibility requirements, including requirements under Section
504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Fair Housing Act, and their
implementing regulations. See also 24 CFR 576.407(a);
(b) These temporary emergency shelters shall not be subject to the minimum periods of use required
by section 416(c)(1) of the McKinney-Vento Act and 24 CFR 576.102(c) and shall be considered as
excluded by law from any certifications recipients submit pursuant to 24 CFR 91.225(c)(1) through
(c)(4) or 91.325(c)(4)(i) through (c)(4)(iv); however, if funds were used for acquisition or renovation
(including conversion or major rehabilitation), the property’s use and disposition will be
subject to the real property requirements in 2 CFR 200.311;
(c) In general, funds may be used to support temporary emergency shelters to prevent, prepare for,
and respond to coronavirus until January 31, 2022. This January 31, 2022 limit will ensure that
ESG-CV funds are available to serve more individuals and families with assistance to prevent,
prepare for and respond to coronavirus. However, upon written request by the recipient, HUD may
grant an exception to the January 31, 2022 limit, if the recipient demonstrates:
(i) Why additional funding for a longer period of time is necessary and what planned activities the
recipient will forgo to continue funding the temporary emergency shelter;
(ii) The number of additional months the recipient will fund the temporary emergency shelter; and
(iii) The plan for connecting program participants to permanent housing when the temporary
emergency shelter is no longer funded;
(d) In addition to the records required at 24 CFR 576.500, the recipient must retain documentation
that the property or structure or portion of a structure used as temporary emergency shelter met the
definition of temporary emergency shelter during the time it was so used. For example, a recipient
could document that the property is typically a hotel and is only being used as an emergency shelter
for the period of time that public health officials determine special measures are needed to prevent
the spread of coronavirus;
(e) Whether or not services are provided as part of temporary emergency shelter, the recipient or
subrecipient must assure that for each program participant receiving shelter, the individual or
family’s service needs are evaluated as required by 24 CFR 576.401(a) and appropriate services are
made available as needed in accordance with 24 CFR 576.401(d)), and a program participant in
temporary emergency shelter shall be eligible to receive essential services from the recipient or
subrecipients other than the program participant’s shelter provider;
(f) A temporary emergency shelter may provide space for program participants to receive services
consistent with 24 CFR 576.401(d) even if the services are not ESG-funded or not funded as part of
the shelter project;
(g) Program participants cannot be required to sign leases or occupancy agreements, receive
treatment, or perform any other prerequisite activities as a condition for staying in any shelter or
receiving services; and
(h) In all other respects, the funding and operation of temporary emergency shelters must comply
with the ESG-CV requirements for emergency shelters under this Notice and 24 CFR part 57
6. Shelter and Housing Standards. The lead-based paint remediation requirements of 24 CFR
576.403(a) apply to all shelters for which ESG-CV funds are used and all housing occupied by
program participants. The habitability requirements at 24 CFR 576.403(b) do not apply to
temporary emergency shelters that have been determined by State or local health officials to be
necessary to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus. However, recipients and subrecipients
must still comply with nondiscrimination and applicable accessibility requirements, including
requirements under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Americans with
Disabilities Act, and their implementing regulations. See also 24 CFR 576.407(a). All other shelters
and housing for which ESG-CV funds must meet the applicable standards in 24 CFR 576.403(b)
and 576.403(c).
7. Environmental Review Requirements. Except as otherwise provided in this notice for temporary
emergency shelters that have been determined by State or local health officials to be necessary to
prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus, “responsible entities” (as defined in 24 CFR 58.2)
must assume all of the responsibilities with respect to environmental review, decision making, and
action required under 24 CFR Part 58. Also, as required by 24 CFR 58.4(a), when a State
distributes funds to a responsible entity, the State must provide for appropriate procedures by which
these responsible entities will evidence their assumption of environmental responsibilities. In
accordance with these requirements and section 100261(3) of the MAP-21 Act, 24 CFR 576.407(d)
does not apply.
Environmental regulations at 24 CFR 58.22 prohibit ESG recipients and any other participant in
the development process from committing HUD or non-HUD funds to a project until the
environmental compliance review process has been successfully completed or until receipt of the
Authority to Use Grant Funds, if applicable. In addition, until the environmental compliance
review process has been successfully completed or until receipt of the Authority to Use Grant
Funds, neither a recipient nor any participant in the development process may commit non-HUD
funds on or undertake an activity or project if the activity or project would have an adverse
environmental impact or limit the choice of reasonable alternatives.
Emergency Environmental Review Procedures: HUD’s environmental review regulations in 24
CFR Part 58 include two provisions that may be relevant to environmental review procedures for
activities to prevent, prepare for, or respond to coronavirus. The first is 24 CFR § 58.34(a)(10),
which provides an exemption for certain activities undertaken in response to a national or locally
declared public health emergency. The second is a streamlined public notice and comment period
in the regulation at 24 CFR 58.33, which may apply in some cases for emergency activities
undertaken to prevent, prepare for, or respond to coronavirus. The application of these two
provisions following a presidentially-declared or locally-declared public health emergency are
discussed in the Notice, Guidance on conducting environmental review pursuant to 24 Part 58 for
activities undertaken in response to the public health emergency as a result of COVID-19 (available
at: https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/OCHCO/documents/2020-07cpdn.pdf).
8. Procurement. As provided by the CARES Act, the recipient may deviate from the applicable
procurement standards (e.g., 24 CFR 576.407(c) and (f) and 2 CFR 200.317-200.326) when
procuring goods and services to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus. If the recipient
deviates from its procurement standards then the recipient must establish alternative written
procurement standards, and maintain documentation on the alternative procurement standards used
to safeguard against fraud, waste, and abuse in the procurement of goods and services to prevent,
prepare for, and respond to coronavirus. This alternative requirement is necessary to ensure the
funds are used efficiently and effectively to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus.
Notwithstanding this flexibility, the debarment and suspension regulations at 2 CFR part 180 and 2
CFR part 2424 apply as written.
2 CFR § 200.311 - Real property.
CFR § 200.311 Real property.
(a) Title. Subject to the obligations and conditions set forth in this section, title to real property acquired
or improved under a Federal award will vest upon acquisition in the non-Federal entity.
(b) Use. Except as otherwise provided by Federal statutes or by the Federal awarding agency, real
property will be used for the originally authorized purpose as long as needed for that purpose, during
which time the non-Federal entity must not dispose of or encumber its title or other interests.
(c) Disposition. When real property is no longer needed for the originally authorized purpose, the non-
Federal entity must obtain disposition instructions from the Federal awarding agency or pass-through
entity. The instructions must provide for one of the following alternatives:
(1) Retain title after compensating the Federal awarding agency. The amount paid to the Federal
awarding agency will be computed by applying the Federal awarding agency's percentage of
participation in the cost of the original purchase (and costs of any improvements) to the fair market
value of the property. However, in those situations where the non-Federal entity is disposing of real
property acquired or improved with a Federal award and acquiring replacement real property under the
same Federal award, the net proceeds from the disposition may be used as an offset to the cost of the
replacement property.
(2) Sell the property and compensate the Federal awarding agency. The amount due to the Federal
awarding agency will be calculated by applying the Federal awarding agency's percentage of
participation in the cost of the original purchase (and cost of any improvements) to the proceeds of the
sale after deduction of any actual and reasonable selling and fixing-up expenses. If the Federal award
has not been closed out, the net proceeds from sale may be offset against the original cost of the
property. When the non-Federal entity is directed to sell property, sales procedures must be followed
that provide for competition to the extent practicable and result in the highest possible return.
(3) Transfer title to the Federal awarding agency or to a third party designated/approved by the Federal
awarding agency. The non-Federal entity is entitled to be paid an amount calculated by applying the
non-Federal entity's percentage of participation in the purchase of the real property (and cost of any
improvements) to the current fair market value of the property.

10/13/2020:
The answer from the AAQ... Not as encouraging as I had hoped.
"The SNAPS office is working on ways to give recipients other options, other than repayment, for
disposition of temporary emergency shelters acquired or renovated with ESG-CV funds. However,
recipients should know the current limitations when deciding to pursue this activity type."

To: <smmoore@utah.gov>
Question Status: Answered
Thank you for submitting a question via the HUD Exchange. The response to your question is listed
below.
Requestor Name: Sarah Moore
Requestor Email: smmoore@utah.gov
Question Related To: Emergency Solutions Grants
Question ID: 165827
Question Subject:
CARES Act unique activities - Building Acquisition
Question Text:
We need better guidance around the CV funded unique activity of temporary shelter building
acquisition.
d. ESG-CV means the Emergency Solutions Grants Program as funded by the CARES Act and governed by
requirements HUD establishes in accordance with that Act. ESG-CV funds do not include annual ESG
funds (e.g., FY 2020 ESG grant funds), although annual ESG funds may be used in accordance with the
requirements established for purposes of ESG-CV funds as further described in Section IV of this Notice.
e. Temporary Emergency Shelter means any structure or portion of a structure, which is used for a
limited period of time because of a crisis, such as a natural disaster or public health emergency, to
provide shelter for individuals and families displaced from their normal place of residence or sheltered
or unsheltered locations.
Notice: CPD-20-08 - E. Program Components and Eligible Activities. - 3. Additional Eligible Activities. In
addition to the eligible activities listed in 24 CFR 576:
a. Temporary emergency shelters. As permitted by the CARES Act, ESG-CV funds may be used to pay for
temporary emergency shelters for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in order to
prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus. (i) Eligible costs include: (a) Leasing existing real
property or temporary structures to be used as temporary emergency shelters; (b) Acquisition of real
property (e.g. hotels, ancillary structures, parking lots). The total amount of ESG-CV funds used for
acquisition must not exceed $2.5 million per real property; (c) Renovation (including major rehabilitation
and conversion) of real property (e.g., hotels) into temporary emergency shelters. Eligible costs include
labor, tools, and other costs for renovation;
What are the expectations of the temporary shelters that may be purchased with CV funding after the
"limited period of time because of a crisis" has expired?
Response:
The Real Property requirements at 2 CFR 200.311 still apply, even though minimum period of use
requirements are waived for temporary emergency shelter acquired or renovated with ESG-CV funding.
Part 200 requires that, when real property is no longer needed for the originally authorized purpose, the
non-Federal entity must obtain disposition instructions from the Federal awarding agency or pass-
through entity. Currently, there are two possible disposition options for recipients:
1. Retain title after compensating HUD. The amount paid to HUD will be computed by applying
HUD's percentage of participation in the cost of the original purchase (and costs of any improvements)
to the fair market value of the property. However, in those situations where the non-Federal entity is
disposing of real property acquired or improved with a Federal award and acquiring replacement real
property under the same Federal award, the net proceeds from the disposition may be used as an offset
to the cost of the replacement property.
2. Sell the property and compensate HUD. The amount due to HUD will be calculated by applying
HUD's percentage of participation in the cost of the original purchase (and cost of any improvements) to
the proceeds of the sale after deduction of any actual and reasonable selling and fixing-up expenses. If
the Federal award has not been closed out, the net proceeds from sale may be offset against the original
cost of the property. When the non-Federal entity is directed to sell property, sales procedures must be
followed that provide for competition to the extent practicable and result in the highest possible return.
In either case, HUD will provide recipients with disposition instructions to further explain the process.
The SNAPS office is working on ways to give recipients other options, other than repayment, for
disposition of temporary emergency shelters acquired or renovated with ESG-CV funds. However,
recipients should know the current limitations when deciding to pursue this activity type.
Please note: the response provided in this email is specific to the question you submitted and may not
apply to similar questions. Therefore, please use discretion in providing the response to others as the
answer may not apply to their particular situation.

round $999,551
• Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG-CV), first round $1,040,462 and second round
$2,946,449
• Housing Opportunities for People With HIV/AIDS (HOPWA-CV), first round
$87,443
Housing and Neighborhood Development (HAND) staff will administer the CARES HUD-CV
funds. HAND staff will continue to communicate with the Administration and City Council
about the CARES HUD-CV allocation process. The process is anticipated to mirror the regular,
annual HUD allocation process. This includes a competitive application process, review and
recommendation by the Community Development and Capital Improvement Program (CD-CIP)
and Housing Trust Fund Advisory Board (HTFAB) that serve as resident advisory boards, the
Mayor’s recommendations, and the Council’s recommendations.
The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed the attached resolution (Exhibit 11) and approves it as
to form. These Substantial Amendments are in-compliance with HUD Requirements, Substantial
Amendment Section HUD 24 CFR 91.505 (b).
~~~~~UPDATED/NEW INFORMATION (December 2020)~~~~~
A public comment period for the Substantial Amendments to 2020-24 Consolidated Plan and
2020-21 Annual Action Plan regarding the associated HUD-CV funding from the CARES Act
began September 11, 2020 and ended September 24, 2020. No comments from the public were
received by city staff.
Council adopted the Substantial Amendments to the 2020-24 Consolidated Plan and the 2020-21
Annual Action Plan on October 20, 2020.
The City notified the public and opened a competitive process to accept requests for CARES Act
HUD-CV funding from November 2, 2020 to November 22, 2020 in ZoomGrants. An
application training session was held November 6, 2020 for interested applicants and HAND
staff made themselves available to answer specific questions.
The CD-CIP and HTFA boards reviewed applications in November and December 2020 and
provided funding recommendations to the Mayor.
Typically for the City’s annual action plan for federal funding HUD requires a public hearing,
however the CARES Act provided a waiver of this requirement to expedite disbursal of funds as
outlined on page 6 of the HUD guidance, dated June 22, 2020, Flexibilities/Waivers Granted by
the CARES Act + Mega Waiver and Guidance.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve the Funding Recommendations provided by the CD-CIP and HTFA boards, and the
Mayor. These recommendations are outlined in Exhibit 12. CARES Act HUD-CV Funding
Recommendations Log.
During the competitive application process, the requests received were lower than the total
funding made available from HUD. For CDBG-CV the requests left a remaining balance of
$468,900 and for ESG-CV a remaining balance of $460,828. Many of the community partners
were contacted by HAND staff after the application window closed to determine if they have
capacity to utilize more funding; the amounts in Exhibit 12 reflect several adjustments from the
initial application requests.
Council now has the option to disburse the remaining amounts of CDBG-CV and ESG-CV to
eligible activities that prepare, prevent, and respond to COVID-19. The Council may consider
the following disbursement options:
•The CD-CIP board adopted a motion to recommend the remaining ESG-CV and CDBG-
CV funding go to homeless service agencies that could help with COVID-19 vaccination,
such as agencies that can help identify low-income, homeless, marginalized populations,
and communities of color, to obtain and receive COVID-19 vaccines.
•Increase any line item in the CARES Act HUD-CV Funding Recommendation Log.
•Provide funding to past federal funding applicants for FY 2020-2021 who did not receive
HUD funding. However, these applications were submitted in the fall of 2019, and no
specific COVID-19 activities were addressed in those funding requests.
•Reopen the CDBG-CV and ESG-CV funding for another competitive application process
immediately.
•Council may choose to reserve funds in a holding account to be disbursed later. If this
option is selected, there are very time sensitive parameters:
o HUD 24 CFR 576.203 states that a 180-day time period to obligate funds starts
after HUD signs the grant agreement. HUD signed Salt Lake City’s grant
agreements for ESG-CV and HOPWA-CV on November 19, 2020, and CDBG-
CV on December 3, 2020. This would require that all funding be under contract
with community partners by May 17, 2021 and by June 1, 2021, respectively.
UPDATED EXHIBITS:
Exhibit 12. CARES HUD-CV Funding Recommendations Log 2020-2021
~~~~~ORIGINAL TRANSMITTAL~~~~~
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND
CARES HUD-CV FUNDING: On March 27, 2020, the United States Congress passed The
Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) (H.R. 748, Public Law 116-
136), which makes available $5 billion in supplemental Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG-CV) funding, $1 billion for Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG-CV) and $53.7 million
for Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA-CV) grants to prevent, prepare for,
and respond to coronavirus (CV).
The CARES Act stipulated that HUD-CV funding must not fund duplicative activities and
requires tracking to ensure no other funding source could be utilized for the expense. Salt Lake
City is an entitlement city and serves as the Grantee receiving the funding. Use of HUD-CV
funds may address activities to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus. Funds must
serve low- to moderate-income individuals or households, underserved communities or
populations, and align with HUD National Objectives.
PROPOSED SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENTS:
Due to the City’s allocated CARES HUD-CV funding Substantial Amendments are required for
the recently adopted 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, 2020-2024 Citizen Participation Plan, and
the 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan.
These Substantial Amendments were prepared following the guidance from HUD, as issued to
date.
HUD REQUIREMENTS
HUD’s Substantial Amendment Section 24 CFR 91.505 (b), outlines the criteria for
Substantial Amendment and states “the jurisdiction shall identify in its Citizen
Participation Plan the criteria it will use for determining what constitutes a Substantial
Amendment. It is these Substantial Amendments that are subject to a citizen participation
process, in accordance with the jurisdiction's citizen participation plan.”
SALT LAKE CITY 2020-2024 CONSOLIDATED PLAN REQUIREMENTS
Salt Lake City’s Consolidated Plan for 2020-2024 Citizen Participation Plan defines a
Substantial Amendment as:
1. A proposed use of funds that does not address a goal or underlying strategy
identified in the governing Consolidated Plan or Annual Action Plan; or
2. Increasing funding levels for a given project by 100% or more of the previously
adopted amount; or
3. Decreasing funding levels for a given project by 100% AND pivoting impacted
funds to another approved use during an action plan period; or
4. A change to a regulatory requirement or additional allocated funding from the US
Department of Housing & Urban Development that defines that a Substantial
Amendment must be completed.
Substantial Amendment to 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan:
#1 Accept Additional Allocations of Funding
Section SP-35, The Strategic Plan, Anticipated Resources. HUD 24 CFR 91.215
(a)(4), 91.220 (c)(1,2). Located on page 146 of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan.
The CARES HUD-CV allocations represent an additional allocation of funding
from HUD to Salt Lake City’s 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, thus requiring a
Substantial Amendment.
With Council’s adoption of the resolution the City’s current 2020-2024
Consolidated Plan will be amended to reflect the additional funding and eligible
uses of the grant funds.
(See Exhibit 4, Substantial Amendment to SP-35 Anticipated Resources and AP-
15 Expected Resources)
Substantial Amendments to 2020-2024 Citizen Participation Plan (Appendix C of the 2020-
2024 Consolidated Plan):
#1 Shortened Public Comment Period
Citizen Participation, HUD 24 CFR 91.105. Located on page 281 of the 2020-
2024 Citizen Participation Plan (Appendix C of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan)
Substantial Amendments are required to follow the City’s Citizen Participation
Plan, as outlined in the Consolidated Plan for 2020-2024, which under normal
circumstances, requires a public comment period for the Substantial Amendment
of thirty (30) days. However, to quickly implement the funds and activities of the
CARES HUD-CV, HUD has waived that requirement with amendment to the
City’s Citizen Participation Plan, reducing the public comment period to five (5)
days. Further, HUD is allowing the Citizen Participation Plan and the Substantial
Amendment to the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and 2020 Annual Action Plan to
run concurrently.
Although the CARES Act has shortened the potential public comment period to
five (5) days, Salt Lake City Ordinance requires a fourteen (14) day public
comment period. Thus, HAND staff will implement a fourteen (14) day public
comment period for this Substantial Amendment.
The City’s current 2020-2024 Citizen Participation Plan will be amended to
reflect this change and accept a fourteen-day public comment period.
This Shortened Public Comment Period amendment only applies to the CARES-
HUD-CV allocation, and not to any other funding allocated by HUD.
Substantial Amendment to 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan:
#1 Accept Additional Allocations of Funding
Section AP-15, Expected Resources. HUD 24 CFR 91.215 (a)(4), 91.220 (c)(1,2).
Located on page 33 of the 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan.
A Substantial Amendment is required to accept the CARES HUD-CV. These
funds represent an additional allocation of funding from HUD to Salt Lake City’s
2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan.
The City’s current 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan will be amended to reflect the
additional funding and eligible uses of grant funds.
(See Exhibit 4, Substantial Amendment to SP-35 Anticipated Resources and AP-
15 Expected Resources)
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: A public comment period began September 11, 2020 and is
set to end September 24, 2020 specifically for the above-mentioned Substantial Amendment
components. The public comment period was posted in English and Spanish through the State’s
Public Notice website, sent to community partners to post, and provided to the Mayor’s Office
and the Council Office for dissemination on social media platforms and other applicable forms of
electronic communication and noticing.
COORDINATION WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS: Salt Lake City has worked closely
with Salt Lake County, the State of Utah and other community partners to ensure funds will be
strategically targeted to reach our most vulnerable residents who are impacted by coronavirus
and that programs will not be duplicative.
Community Partners include:
• Other regional CARES HUD-CV grantees
• Salt Lake City CARES HUD-CV Internal Working Group
• Salt Lake City’s Resident Advisory Group: the Community Development and Capital
Improvement Program Board
• HUD Regional Office
• HUD Technical Assistance Representatives
• National homeless and affordable housing consultants and advocacy groups
HUD requires HUD-CV grantees to prevent the duplication of services. This translates to grant
funds may not be used to pay costs if another source of financial assistance is available to pay
that cost. HAND staff will work with community partners and track other funding and
community benefits in order to prevent duplication of services.

Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
ES-05 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. INTRODUCTION
Salt Lake City’s 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan is the product of a collaborative process to identify housing and
community development needs and to establish goals, priorities, and strategies to address those needs. This
five-year plan provides a framework for maximizing and leve raging the city’s block grant allocations to build
healthy and sustainable communities that better focus funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) formula block grant programs. The entitlement grant programs guided by the
Consolidated Plan are as follows:
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
The CDBG program’s primary objective is to promote the development of viable urban communities by
providing decent housing, suitable living environments, and expanded economic activiti es to persons
of low- and moderate-income.
Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
The ESG program’s primary objective is to assist individuals and families regain housing stability after
experiencing a housing or homelessness crisis.
HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME)
The HOME program’s primary objective is to create affordable housing opportunities for low -income
households.
Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)
The HOPWA program’s primary objective is to provide housing assistance and re lated supportive
services to persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families.
Similar to cities across the country, Salt Lake City is faced with housing prices that are rising more rapidly than
wages, resulting in a lack of affordable housing. This Consol idated Plan outlines a comprehensive set of policies
that respond to the City’s current challenges by utilizing new and collaborative strategies.
Affordable and safe housing serves as the foundation for individuals to move out of poverty and to avoid
hom elessness. However, it is increasingly recognized that housing must be connected to opportunities for
education, transit, recreation, economic development, healthcare, and services. Instead of addressing these
needs separately, Salt Lake City takes a comprehensive and geographic approach to community development
by integrating these various aspects into its Consolidated Plan.
The 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan encourages investment in neighborhoods with concentrated poverty and
supports at-risk populations by promoting goals that increase access to housing, transportation, economic
development, and critical services. By building upon the growth and successes realized in the previous
Consolidated Plan, Salt Lake City is continuing to work toward closing the gap in a number of socioeconomic
indicators, such as improving housing affordability, job training, access to transportation for low -income
households, homeless prevention services, and medical/dental/behavioral health services for at -risk
populations.
In addition to expanding opportunity for low -income households living in concentrated areas of poverty, Salt
Lake City will continue to support essential housing and supportive services for the City’s most vulnerable
populations, with focus on the chronically h omeless, homeless families, disabled persons, victims of domestic
violence, persons living with HIV/AIDS, and low -income elderly persons.
Process & Overview
6
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
The 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan is organized into four primary sections, as follows:
I. The Proce ss
The Process section of the Plan outlines the development of the Plan, including citizen participation
efforts and stakeholder involvement.
II. Needs Assessment (NA)
The Needs Assessment section provides an analysis of housing, homeless and community
development needs, with focus on the needs of low -income households, racial and ethnic minorities,
homeless persons, and non-homeless special needs populations.
III. Housing Market Analysis (MA)
The Housing Market Analysis section provides information and data on Salt Lake City’s housing market,
including an evaluation of local resources. The housing market analysis supplements information
supplied by the needs assessment and establishes a framework for five -year goals and priorities to be
developed.
IV. Five -Year Strategic Plan (SP)
Once community needs, market conditions, and resources are identified, program goals, specific
strategies, and benchmarks for measuring progress are set forth in the Strategic Plan section of the
Consolidated Plan. Efforts are prioritized to direct the allocation of federal funding to maximize impact
within the community.
Throughout this Plan period, Salt Lake City will look to address strategies and funding resources that help
address community responses to emergency need. This may include preparing for, responding to, and recovery
from community wide emergencies. These emergencies would likely be identified through a national, state or
local declaration of a state of emergency. Where appropriate, Salt Lake City will maximize all resources to
address such instances.
The 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan planning process will conclude with the development of the City’s First -Year
Action Plan. The First-Year Action Plan will outline the activities and funding prio rities for the first year of the
Consolidated Plan, covering July 1, 2020 – June 30, 2021.

3. EVALUATION OF PAST PERFORMANCE
In preparation for development of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, Salt Lake City’s Housing and
Neighborhood Development Division reviewed Consolidated Annual Performance Reports (CAPERs) submitted
to HUD under the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan. Th e CAPERs provide an evaluation of past performance and
accomplishments in relation to established goals and priorities. The City’s program year 2016 -2017 & 2017-
2018 CAPER can be viewed at https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/consolidated -plan/con-plans-aaps-
capers/.
During the course of the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan, the City has been able to meet the vast majority of
established goals and priorities. In addition, the City was able to comply with statutes and regulations set by
HUD.

4. SUMMARY OF CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PROCESS AND CONSULTATION PROCESS:
Citizen participation is an integral part of the Consolidated Plan planning process, as it ensures goals and
priorities are defined in the context of community needs and preferences. In addition, the citizen participation
process provides a format to educate the community about the City’s federal grant programs. To this end, Salt
Lake City solicited involvement from a diverse group of stakeholders and community members during the
development of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. A comprehensive public engagement process included a
citywide survey (2,000+ respondents), public hearings, public meetings, one -on-one meetings, stakeholder

Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
The City led a proactive, community-based process to solicit public and stakeholder input for the development
of the Consolidated Plan goals, strategies, and priorities. The City created a Stakeholder Advisory Committee
that met three times during the planning process. In addition, the City wor ked directly with service providers
and other government agencies to gather data used in the technical analysis for the Consolidated Plan.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless
persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans,
and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness:
Salt Lake City representatives actively participated in the Salt Lake Valley Coalition to End Homelessness
(SLVC EH), the entity responsible for oversight of the Continuum of Care (CoC). SLVCEH’s primary goal is to end
homelessness in Salt Lake Valley through a system -wide commitment of resources, services, data collection,
analysis and coordination among all stakeho lders. The Coalition gathers community consensus to create and
fulfill established outcomes. Using these goals, the Coalition partners with key stakeholders to fill the needs of
the Salt Lake County Valley community. City representatives served on the SLVC EH Steering Committee and
actively participated in meetings and efforts.
Describe consultation with the Continuum of Care that serves the jurisdiction’s area in determining
how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, a nd develop
funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS:
Working closely with the other two CoCs in the state- Mountainlands and Balance of State, as well as other city,
state, and county representatives, City representatives provided di rection and support for how funding
SLVCEH’s priorities are considered in Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) allocations. Utilizing data sources like
the annual ‘Point-in-Time Count’ and Utah Homeless Management Information System (UHMIS) outputs, City
representatives worked with other SLVCEH members to assess progress on shared metrics such as an
individual’s average length of homelessness, likelihood to return to homelessness, and the percentage of exits
from emergency shelter, transitional housing, and rapi d rehousing projects to permanent housing. The City has
agreed to use common measures with other SLVCEH members to grade service providers.
City representatives also actively participated in meetings regarding the funding, policies and procedures for
the administration of the UHMIS. UHMIS helps homeless providers coordinate care, manage operations, and
better serve clients by tracking client service needs over time. All ESG-funded entities participate in UHMIS.
City representatives helped to develop con sistent data standards and create a HMIS training manual. The
manual provides guidance on HMIS data elements for CoCs, HMIS Lead Agencies, HMIS System Administrators,
and users. City representatives helped to disseminate information regarding the accompany ing HMIS Data
Dictionary to define data elements and requirements for HMIS compliance for HMIS Vendors and System
Administrators.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN: (91.215(I))
The City coordinated and cooperated with other public entities, including the State of Utah, Salt Lake County,
and neighboring cities on the implementation of the Consolidated Plan. T hese coordination efforts included
City representatives serving on the Commission on Housing Affordability, the Utah Lt. Governor’s Affordable
Housing Taskforce, the SLVCEH Steering Committee, and other State agencies. In addition, the City worked
closely with Salt Lake County’s Housing and Community Development Division to foster regional collaboration
for implementation.
PR- 15 CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
SUMMARIZE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PROCESS AND HOW IT IMPACTED GOAL SETTING.
The City seeks to develop and enhance livable, healthy, and sustainable neighborhoods through robust
planning and actions that reflect the needs and values of the local community. The City has stayed true to its
values of inclusiveness and innovation by embracing opportunities to pr ovide equitable services, offer funding,
and create housing opportunities that improve lives for individuals and families in underserved and under -
resourced communities.
The City recognizes that citizen participation is critical for the development of a C onsolidated Plan that reflects
the needs of affected persons and residents. In accordance with 24 CFR 91.105, the City solicited robust citizen
participation over the course of an entire year. Between May 2019 and May 2020, over 4,000 residents,
stakeholders, agency partners, and City officials participated through proactive, community -based outreach,
facilitated stakeholder engagement, and online surveys. The City involved affected persons and residents
through stakeholder consultation, a community survey, community events, public meetings, public hearings,
public comment periods, and one-on-one consultations. The following provides a synopsis of these efforts.
CONSOLIDATED PLAN SURVEY
The City created a survey to solicit feedback from residents regarding their priorities for the provision of
housing, economic development, and public services in the most underserved and under -resourced areas of
the community. The survey and all accompanying collateral material was translated into Spanish, with additional
language translation services available upon request.
The survey was posted on the City website and social media platforms, third -party digital applications like
Nextdoor and was distributed to thousands of residents through the City’s email listserv. In addition, digital
flyers with Quick Response (QR) codes were created and distributed to stakeholder advisory and
interdepartmental working group members. Members of these groups were asked to distribute the flyer to their
respective constituencies.

The survey fielding occurred from August 15 through September 30, 2019, with a total of 2,068 respondents
completing it. Respondents ranked homeless and transportation servi ces as their top priorities for City services.
Street improvements, job creation, and rental assistance were the top priorities for community, economic
development, and housing investments respectively.

Respondents identified Poplar Grove, Fairpark, and Ballpark as the areas of the City with the most unmet needs
for underserved individuals and families. The overwhelming majority of residents did not feel that the current
housing stock was sufficient to meet th e needs of a growing City, particularly for low -income populations,
seniors, and individuals with disabilities.

Since the Consolidated Plan survey was open to anyone who wanted to take it, results may have included self -
selection bias. To supplement these results with a more representative understanding of resident sentiment, the
City also compared them with the recently completed annual resident sur vey results. Both surveys showed that
residents wanted more housing and transportation investments for underserved areas of the community.

REGIONAL COLLABORATION
The City collaborated closely with Salt Lake County as the two entities worked in tandem on their respective
Consolidated Plans. City staff consistently attended County meetings, and vice versa. In addition, the two
entities worked together on the question wording and format for th eir respective surveys to ensure an “apples-
to-apples” comparison of survey results. This approach allowed the City to consider both qualitative
stakeholder feedback and quantitative survey results within a broader, regional context. In total, 222 Salt Lak e
City residents took the Salt Lake County survey.
STAKEHOLDER ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The City assembled a Stakeholder Advisory Committee comprised of nonprofit providers and agency partners.
The Committee met three times in 2019 on July 30, September 24, an d December 11. These meetings were
strategically scheduled at critical milestones to maximize the impact stakeholder feedback would have in the
identification of Consolidated Plan goals, objectives, and priorities. On average, approximately 40 stakeholders
attended the meetings.

To maintain consistency with the resident survey, the City asked the same survey questions to the stakeholder
advisory committee members via real -time, interactive polling software. Stakeholders ranked housing,
homelessness, and mental health services as their top three unmet, unfunded/underfunded needs. They
indicated street improvements, job training, and the construction of more affordable housing units shou ld be
top priorities for City inv estment. Stakeholders identified Glendale, Fairpark, Ballpark, and Poplar Grove as the
areas within the city with the most unmet needs for under -served individuals and families.

had identified at the initial stakeholder meeting in July. Stakeholders indicated that their first and second
priorities were housing and transportation respectively. They outlined a number of suggested funding
strategies that the City, in partnership with nonprof it service providers, could consider employing. These
strategies include, but are not limited to:
Provide ‘aging in place’ programs

Provide client centered community -based case management
Eliminate housing barriers
Integrate transportation and land use considerations to facilitate affordable housing along transit
corridors
Improve regional collaboration with public and private-sector partners to improve efficiencies in the
allocation of resources and to reduce redu ndancies
Leverage innovative technologies to improve access to information regarding affordable housing

Interdepartmental Technical Advisory Group (ITAG) members to ensure collaborat ion between City
departments and nonprofit service providers. The meeting centered around the following five objectives:
Homeless Services
Housing Services
Transportation
Economic Development
Behavioral Health: Mental Health & Substance Abuse
Stakeholders and City staff indicated that client centered community -based case management, treatment
services for mental health and substance abuse, as well as the provision of housing, transit passes, and job
training to income-eligible residents were their top pri orities to meet these five objectives.

INTERDEPARTMENTAL TE CHNICAL ADVISORY GRO UP
To facilitate coordination across the various City departments and ensure input from the City’s subject -matter
experts was incorporated into the Consolidated Plan, the City created an Interdepartmental Technical Advisory
Group (ITAG). Similar to the approach taken with the Stakeholder Advisory Committee, the City met with this
39
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
internal group three times during the course of the Consolidated Plan development process. Meetings occurred
on July 29, September 23, and December 11, 2019.
Initial Meeting- July 29, 2019
Similar to the approach taken with the Stakeholder Advisory Committee, the City surveyed ITAG m embers via
real-time, interactive polling using the same questions as the resident survey to ensure consistency and
compare feedback “apples-to-apples.” ITAG members ranked housing and transportation as top priorities and
expressed concern that there was i nsufficient housing to meet the needs of a growing population, particularly
for low-income individuals and families, seniors, and persons with disabilities. While feedback differed
somewhat from the resident survey results, ITAG members generally expressed similar concerns as residents.
ITAG members were also asked a series of questions regarding their most unfunded/underfunded, unmet
needs. Through an interactive “sticky -note” exercise, they wrote their answers on notes and posted them on a
wall in the room. A discussion regarding the results of the feedback then ensued and the notes were
categorized based on key themes.

Final Meeting, December 11, 2019
As mentioned previously, the City held a third and final ITAG meeting in December in conjunction with the
Stakeholder Advisory Committee to further refine goals based on feedback from previous meetings. The
objective of a combined meeting was to ensure collaboration between City departments and nonprofit service
providers. The meeting centered around the following five goals:
Homeless Services
Housing Services
Transportation
Economic Development
Behavioral Health: Mental Health & Substance Abuse
Stakeholders and City staff indicated that client centered community-based case management, treatment
services for mental health and substance abuse, as well as the provision of housing, transit passes, and job
training to income-eligible residents were their top priorities to meet these five goals.
COMMUNITY EV ENTS
The City led a robust, grassroots citizen participation effort between May 2019 and November 2019. Staff
attended community events such as the Rose Park Festival, the Sorenson CommUNITY Fair, Partners in the Park,
Groove in the Grove, the Monster Bloc k Party, and many others. In keeping with recommendations outlined in
the SLC Citizen Engagement Guide, the City engaged directly with the public through exi sting forums where
opportunities existed to reach hundreds of people at a time.
City staff managed information booths at dozens of events and solicited input from residents and stakeholders
through interactive materials such as “sticker dots” that could be placed on poster boards to indicate priorities
for City services and to identify neighborhoods with the most unmet, unfunded/underfunded needs. The efforts
were hugely successful, with over 1,322 people participating.

conversation responded to questions regarding the outcomes of the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan and the
evolution of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
On October 24, 2019, the City conducted a General Needs Hearing to gather public comments on housing and
community development needs as they relate to low - and moderate-income residents. One resident attended
the hearing and two residents submitted comments via email. Comments were accepted from October 21 -
November 1, 2019 and identified needs associated with streets, police, community gardens, and tennis courts.
To ensure that as many residents as possible are able to participate in public hearings, subsequent public
hearings were held to seek feedback on the Consolidated Plan and the Annual Action Plan (AAP). These City
Council Public Hearings were held on March 24, April 7, and April 21, 2020. Approxima tely 20 residents
attended the public hearings and submitted electronic and/or provide direct feedback to the Council Members
via WebEx Teleconference. All comments were accepted and considered in the final adoption of the plan.
Notices of all public hearings were communicated within 14 calendar days of the hearing and posted on Utah’s
Public Notice website.
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIODS
In addition to the 30-day public comment period required by the United States Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD), the City requires a 45-day public comment period on all master plan documents,
including the Consolidated Plan. Both the HUD-required public comment period and the City -required public
comment periods occurred simultaneously from February 7, 2020 throu gh March 22, 2020. The City initiated the
public comment period by contacting all impacted Registered Community Organizations. The proposed
Consolidated Plan was published on the C ity’s website and the Utah Public Notice website, and printed copies
were made available in the City Main Library and City Hall.

NEEDS ASSESSMENT
The Needs Assessment of the Consolidated Plan, in conjunction with information gathered through
consultations and the citizen participation process, provides a clear picture of Salt Lake City’s needs related to
affordable housing, special needs housing, community development, and homelessness. From the Needs
Assessment, the City identifies those needs with the highest priority to form the basis for th e Strategic Plan and
the programs and projects to be administered.
50
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
NA-05 OVERVIEW
Salt Lake City’s 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan is intended to identify the most critical, unfunded gaps in
community needs within the City, while coordinating with the larger regional needs of the entire Salt Lake
Valley. The purpose of this Needs Assessment (NA) is to identify and evaluate needs, along with funding
resources, and align those needs with the input received through the pub lic participation process. Goals and
strategies are then developed to target priority geographic locations and needed services in those areas, as well
as citywide.
Numerous news articles over the past year have spotlighted what is termed an “affordable h ousing crisis” in
Utah. Due to public concern over housing issues, the Governor commissioned the Utah Department of
Workforce Services to compile a statewide Affordable Housing Report in 2018 to identify causes and address
issues. That report concludes:
Significant population growth from natural increase and economic development continue to drive Utah’s
demand for housing. Production factors such as the high value of land, higher material costs, and a
shortage of construction labor significantly contribute to delays in developing an adequate supply of
affordable housing. Unless Utah invests in a more pre -emptive approach to housing policy and plans
more effectively for its future needs, its housing shortage will only increase, and the gap in housing
afforda bility will continue to widen.
An effort has been made throughout to connect people with resources to expand opportunities for decent
housing, economic development, and vibrant communities. The Needs Assessment clearly establishes that
housing and community development needs have increased while funding to address those needs has
diminished.
As demonstrated in Figure NA-05.1, Salt Lake City’s annual CDBG award has decreased by $1.5 million over the
past 16 years. This represents a 30% decrease in funding to address the critical housing and community
development needs within the City.

A summary of the key data identified in this study, leadin g to the strategies developed, is summarized below. In
short, homeless services ranked high in the data researched, as well as in the surveys conducted as part of the
public participation process. Affordable housing needs also scored high with both the pub lic and in the
evaluation of the data. Within these two overarching concerns, critical needs were also identified for assistance
with transportation accessibility and costs (thereby reducing cost burdens on low -income families and special
populations), economic development opportunities (such as job training) to increase self -sufficiency, and
substantial improvements in the services offered to those with behavioral health concerns.
Residents need affordable housing in locations that are near public transp ortation, quality education,
healthcare, and other service providers. Those with the ability to work need services to increase overall self -
sufficiency.
Significant findings are as follows:
Homeless
The State of Utah Annual Report on Homelessness 2019 reported that there were 9,367 total homeless
persons between October 1, 2017 and September 30, 2018. On average, these individuals spent 70
nights homeless in that same time period.
According to the 2019 Salt Lake County Point-in-Time Count, which is an annual count of all homeless
peoples in the county on a single night, there were 1,844 people experiencing homelessness in the
County on the night of the count in January 2019.1 Of those experiencing homelessness, 73.2% were
White, non-Hispanic, 11% were Bl ack or African American, 5.3% were American Indian or Alaska
Natives, 3.5% were Pacific Islander, and 2% were Asian. There were also 21.3% who were Hispanic.
There are 193 homeless individuals who are unsheltered.
According to the State of Utah’s 2019 Strategic Plan on Homelessness, which quotes from the 2018
Point-in-Time Count (PIT), one in three individuals experiencing homelessness in Utah is severely
mentally ill, and one in four have a substance use disorder.
Specific service gaps for the homeless were identified through stakeholder meetings as follows:
o Affordable housing, permanent supportive housing, and emergency beds
o Mental health services and substance use disorder treatment
o Case management
o Prevention, diversion and outreach services
o Data systems that capture more of the full story

Median incomes in Salt Lake City have increased by 52.6% between 2000 and 2018, representing one
of the fastest income growth rates in the nation. However, median home valu es have increased by
89.8% over the same time period and contract rents have increased by 81.8%, thereby increasing the
gap between wages and housing costs.
39.5% of Salt Lake City renter households and 19.7% of homeowner households are cost -burdened,
spending over 30% of their monthly income on housing costs. Over 18.9% of renter households spend
over 50% of their monthly income on housing.2 Families who are cost-burdened have limited resources
for food, childcare, healthcare, transportation, education, and other basic needs. Despite the

community wide efforts to increase housing availability and reduce housing costs, 29.9% households
are cost-burdened.
The Housing Authority of Salt Lake City currently administers Housing Choice vouchers for 3,000
households and has 7,053 total households on all of its waiting lists. Countywide there are 15,981
households on the Housing Connect waiting list. A family on the waiting list can expect to wait 6 years
before receiving a Housing Choice voucher.3 A large percentage of those on the waiting list are elderly
or have a disability.
Rental vacancy rates are at historic lows, further limiting the available stock of housing and pushing
prices upwards.
Concerns were identified regarding the “gentrification” of neighbor hoods and the need to put anti-
displacement strategies in place, preserving existing affordable housing stock.
Demographics
The demographic makeup of Salt Lake City has changed substantially since 2000. While the White,
non-Hispanic population has remained relatively flat since 2000, minority groups have increased by
over 14,000. White, non-Hispanic has declined from 71% of the population in 2000 to 65% in 2018.
Over the past 5 years, an average of 450 refugees have settled in Salt Lake City annually. 16.4 % of Salt
City residents are foreign-born creating a need for services for individuals who do not speak English.
12% of the City’s population is over 65 years old. Residents this age are often living on limited income
and can often have more difficulty finding maintaining their homes. This can often lead to the elderly
population moving into care facilities or assisted living communities. If care facilities are cheaper
outside of the City then elderly residents may end up leaving to other cities in searc h of lower living
costs.
There are 20,504 people in Salt Lake City with a disability. 37% of those reporting one or more
disabilities are over 65 years old and 21% are over 75 years old. The most common disability for those
over the age of 75 is ambulatory difficulty, which is defined as having serious difficulty walking or
climbing stairs, followed by hearing and independent difficulty.
About 21% of the City’s population is under the age of 18. The largest age group is under 5 years old
with over 31% of the City’s children reportedly falling in that range. Salt Lake City has a child
dependency ratio4 of 30.0.
14.7% of Salt Lake City’s children (under 18 years) 5 live below the poverty level as defined by the
poverty thresholds determined by the U.S. Government using the Consumer Price Index. The 2019 Utah
Intergenerational Welfare Reform Commission Annual Report reaffirms that children growing up in
poverty experience challenges to healthy development both in the short and long term, demonstrating
impairm ents in cognitive, behavioral, and social development. The younger the child is when his or her
family is impoverished the greater the likelihood for poor outcomes.6

55.8% of Salt Lake City School District students qualify to receive free school lunch.7 Families qualify for
free lunch if they earn 130% or below the federal poverty level, about $33,500 or less per year for a
family of four. Many of these households are considered food insecure. The 2019 Utah
Intergenerational Welfare Reform Commission Annual Report indicates that there are 135,940 children
experiencing food insecurity in Utah and in past reports has stated that these children are ill more
frequently, struggle academically, are less likely to graduate from high school and enroll in college; a nd
less likely to earn enough income to feed their families when they are adults.
In 2017 there were 152,479 children in Utah under age 6 who needed care, but there were only 41,144
slots available in childcare programs.8 The main reasons families are not able to get adequate childcare
is cost (31%) and “lack of open slots” (27%).9
Behavioral Health Needs
In 2018, Salt Lake City’s Downtown area reported in the highest age -adjusted drug deaths in the state
at 72.2 deaths per 100,000 population, which is mu ch higher than the state average ratio of 22.4. The
Rose Park and Glendale areas also report higher ratios of 33.3 and 30.4 respectively. Of the 15
neighborhoods in Utah experiencing the highest age-adjusted drug deaths, Salt Lake City has three of
them.10
A recent study concluded that 1 in 5 Utah adults experience poor mental health and that over half of
the adults with mental illness did not receive mental health treatment or counseling.
Another study concluded that Utah ranked 48th in a state-by-state ranking indicating that Utah is
amongst the worst states in the nation when handling mental illnesses based on 15 measures used to
create the rankings. The ranking indicates higher prevalence of mental illness and lower rates of access
to care.11 This is an improvement from 2018, when Utah ranked 51st .
Economic and Social Service Needs
15.8% of Salt Lake City’s adults (18 years and over) live below the poverty level.12 A recent report
indicated that 39,487 adults experiencing intergenerational poverty are em ployed but unable to meet
the needs of their families.13 Families experiencing intergenerational poverty need to be connected to
resources that assist them with employment and job training.14
Job training needs were identified as part of the stakeholder meetings and are a critical component of
increasing self-sufficiency for individuals.

The United States Department of Agriculture defines food insecure families as those households that,
at times during the year, are uncertain of having, or unable to acquire , enough food to meet the needs
of all their members because they have insufficient money or other resources for food. Based on
information provided by Utahns Against Hunger, August 2018, 12.5% of households struggle to buy
enough food for themselves and their households. According to Feeding America, Map the Meal Gap
2018, 12.2% of households in Salt Lake County are food insecure, with 15.4% of children food insecure
in the County.
The 2018 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year Estimate performed by the United States Census
Bureau reported that there were 9,249 households in Salt Lake City that reported no internet access.
This represents almost 12% of the City’s households. Internet access has been shown to increase
student performance for students and to improve the placement rates for unemployed persons
seeking employment.
The Salt Lake City Redevelopment Agency has established 12 project areas, 9 of which are currently
collecting tax increment. These project areas have been established for a variety of reasons, including
the elimination of blight, development of affordable housing, economic development opportunities,
and public works improvements. Geographically, these project areas cover a large portion of the
lowest-income areas of the City. A signi ficant amount of tax increment is generated by these project
areas, reaching nearly $34 million in 2018, affording the opportunity to leverage HUD funding with tax
increment in the future.
Public Improvements
Salt Lake City will utilize an $87 million Gen eral Obligation (GO) Bond to limit the cost to City residents
while still addressing street reconstruction. Using a GO Bond will allow the City to utilize its AAA bond
rating (highest available) to provide road reconstruction in a more affordable and respo nsible way.
These funds will only be used for street reconstruction and not street maintenance, which will be
funded by sales tax dollars.
Salt Lake City increased its sales tax by.5% in 2018. This sales tax increase, also known as Funding Our
Future, will support several critical need areas within the City, including Street maintenance. In addition,
Salt Lake City Transportation received a .25% County Sales Tax funding stream which will enable
Transportation Division to address some of the critical infrastructure and connectivity needs within the
city.
It’s estimated that the annual household transportation cost within the City is $12,524 or about 20% of
household income.15 The City may consider increasing the quality of commuting by enhancing bus
stops and light rail stations and trains to encourage use of public transportation. This would result in
household savings in transportation costs and cleaner air within the City.

NA-10 HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT – 91.205(a, b, c)
SUMMARY OF HOUSING NEEDS
Affordable housing needs in Salt Lake City are significant and have been increasing over the past several years.
A primary reason is that construction costs have been increasing at a far greater rate than wages and thereby
placing a greater cost-burden on households. An extremely low vacancy rate of 3.8% in rentals is further
exacerbating this problem. The problem is especially severe for those households making less than 50% of the
Area Median Income (AMI).
A summary of housing needs and conditions is as fo llows:
Between 2000 and 2018, the cost of housing significantly increased for both renters and homeowners .
Incomes for both renters and homeowners have increased, but at substantially lower rates as shown in
Figure NA-10.1.
o The median contract rent increased by 81.8%, but renter incomes only increased by 48.7%; in
2018 the median household income for renter -occupied units was $36,997.
o Home values increased by 89.8%, but homeowner incomes only increased by 59.4%. In 2018,
the median household income for own er-occupied units was $83,750.16
FIGURE NA-10.1
HOUSING COST INCREASES VS. INCOME INCREASES SINCE 2000
The Affordability Index, which is a calculation of the median home value divided by the median
household income, has increased from 4.2 in 2000 to 5.1 in 2018. This is yet another indication that
income increases have not kept pace with the increasing home values.
The homeownership rate decreased from 56.9% in 2000 to 48.4% in 2018. In 2000, rental units
comprised 48.8% of occupied housing units. In 2018, that percentage increased to 51.6%.17 Therefore,
the increasing number of rental units could partially account for the decreasing rate of

homeownership. With increasing housing costs, residents may be hesitant to buy homes and are
opting to rent despite increasing rental costs.
Many households in Salt Lake City struggle to make their monthly payments and to find affordable
rental housing. Of the 39,000 renter households within Salt Lake City, 39.5% are cost-burdened
meaning there are about 15,500 ren ter households who experience difficulty paying their monthly rent.
There are also approximately 7,100 homeowners who are cost -burdened and have difficulty meeting
their mortgage obligations.
Due to the shortage of units affordable to extremely low -incom e households (<30% AMI), residents
who fall into this category are usually forced to rent housing they cannot afford. Very low -income
(<50% AMI) households with high housing costs lack resources for basic essentials – most critically
food and healthcare. Some residents who fall into this category are forced to live in substandard,
unhealthy, unsafe, or overcrowded housing. In some cases, the lack of affordable housing can lead to
homelessness for some residents.
Since 2000, Salt Lake City has continued to see population growth with roughly 13,958 new residents
and approximately 9,253 new households. That coupled with high housing costs has reduced the
supply of units and increased costs.
DEMOGRAPHICS
Table NA-10.1 shows the total population, number of ho useholds, and median income as reported by the
2000 and 2010 Censuses. It also shows those same demographics from the most recent American Community
Survey 5-Year Estimates 2014-2018. The percentage of change between 2000 and 2018 has been calculated
and included in the table.

Since 2000, Salt Lake City has seen slight increases in population. Median income has grown significantly. More
growth has occurred between 2010 and 2018 (9,261 persons total or an average of 1,158 persons per year).
However, when considering recent population estimates, it is not unreasonable to assume that the population
within the City has surpassed 200,000 since the 2018 ACS.18 Interestingly, the White, non -Hispanic category has
seen a net decrease of 373 people since 2000, while minority groups have increased by 14,331 persons.
Figure NA-10.2 shows how this growth has changed the population composition within Salt Lake City since
2000. In 2000, minorities made up just over 29% of the population. That nu mber increased to 34.6% in 2018.

As shown in Figure NA-10.3, approximately 38.9% of the City’s population fa lls in the 20-39 age range. This
concentration of young-adults/adults differs from the common demographic makeup of the rest of Salt Lake
County where this age range is not as highly represented. The 20-29 age range is particularly concentrated in
Salt Lake City where the 20-24 and 25-29 age ranges make up over 20% of the residents. As shown in Figure
NA-10.4, the County reports that young adults fitting those same age ranges account for 15.4% of the
population. This difference is likely due to the universi ty student population concentrated in Salt Lake City.

Table NA-10.5 shows that 22,325 households that are under 80% of HAMFI are cost -burdened to the extent
that they are paying 30% or more of their income for housing costs. Of these 22,325 households, 16,730 are
renter households while 5,595 are homeowner; therefore, nearly 75% of households with greater than a 30%
cost-burden are renting.
Figure NA-10.5 shows a comparison of how the number of households which are cost -burdened has changed
since the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan. It shows an increase in renter househo lds under 50% of HAMFI and a
decrease in renter households in the 50 to 80% threshold. While the recent construction market appears to be
serving the needs of 50 to 80% fairly well, it has not met the needs of those under 50% of HAMFI. The unmet
needs of those under 50% are increasing.

because they are paying 50% or more of their income on housing costs. Renters account for 8,130 of these
households while 2,570 are homeowners. Severely cost -burdened households are at the greatest risk for
homelessness.

Figure NA-10.7 shows a map of the cost-burdened renters within the City by census tract. It shows that most
of the cost-burdened renters are located just west of I-15 with more than 50% of renters in the tracts in that
area reporting that rental costs constitute more than 30% of their household income. There are also two tracts
to the west of Liberty Park and in the 300 West area from 900 South to 2100 South which report more than
50% of renters as cost-burdened.

The percentage of cost-burdened owners is much lower – less than 20%. However, like renters, most of the
cost-burdened homeowners are located just west of I-15. These tracts show that 20-30% of owner’s costs are
more than 30% of household income.

DESCRIBE THE NUMBER AND TYPE OF SINGLE PERSON HOUSEHOLDS IN NEED OF HOUSING
ASSISTANCE:
The needs of single-person households located within Salt Lake City can be difficult to calculate due to the
large student population attending the University of Utah. In many cases, these students may have little income,
and be living in poverty, while they are enrolled in classes. This can inflate the number of single households
living in poverty and facing housing challeng es. However, this is a temporary situation for most students as they
generally have the ability to grow their incomes after graduation.
Of the 78,229 total households (family and nonfamily) in the City, 27,838 were reported as being nonfamily and
living alone. According to these numbers, 35.6% of households in Salt Lake City live alone. This is higher than
the national average of 34.2%.19
A portion of the 27,838 single-persons households represent young professionals, students, and other
individuals that are not in need of housing assistance. The at -risk single person households in need of housing
assistance include working residents earning low wages, residents who are unemployed, and residents who are
disabled and cannot work.

VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, DATING VIO LENCE, SEXUAL ASSAUL T AND STALKING
AND/OR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES:
The Utah Domestic Violence Coalition reported that 36 Utahans lost their lives to domestic -violence in 2018
and has also reported 32 deaths as of the end of June 2019. Of these reported fatalities, 19 of these victims in
2018 and 16 of the reported 2019 fatalities have been Salt Lake County residents. 20
In addition, a total of 1,449 men, women, and children were sheltered in the two Utah domestic violence
shelters located in Salt Lake City. Individuals who entered the domestic violence shelter system stayed for an
average of 45 days in 2019. There are many barriers for survivors of domestic viole nce to overcome including
securing permanent and stable housing, coping with trauma, accessing support for health and mental
healthcare, and addressing the needs of children. Domestic violence resources currently available in Salt Lake
County include shelter services, a children’s justice center, survivor’s assistance programs, and sexual assault
programs.
The Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA) is Salt Lake City’s primary resource for survivors of domestic
violence seeking out emergency shelter services. Emergency and extended shelter facilities are available twenty -
four hours a day in a 181-bed facility for women and children fleeing unsafe situations. In addition, the YWCA
provides transitional housing for women and dependent children for up to 2 years through a partnership with
the Salt Lake City Housing Authority. Eligibility prioritizes women who have experienced intimate partner
violence within the last year, qualify under the federal definition of homeless, and are eligible for the services
through the Housing Authority. During the 2018-2019 program year, the YWCA provided services for 770
women and children for a total of 37,114 days of service.
The Rape Recovery Center provides 24-hour crisis intervention, advocacy, emotional support, and referrals to
sexual assault victims, their families, and their friends in 150 languages. The center empowers those victimized
by sexual violence through advocacy, crisis intervention, and therapy to educate the community about the
cause, impact, and prevention of sexual violence. During the 2018-2019 program year, the Rape Recovery
Center served about 268 unduplicated clients in the Salt Lake area living below the poverty level. There was a
total of 374 total unduplicated clients served in that same year.
The Journey of Hope is a Salt Lake County based organization which provides services to at -risk women in Salt
Lake City. It provides support to Utah women whose status puts them at -risk for criminal charges and provides
support through mentoring and case man agement. It also provides job training to allow at -risk women to enter
the workforce as educated and productive employees. These services are available to women who are survivors
of abuse, experiencing homelessness, survivors of trafficking, struggling wit h substance abuse or mental illness,
and women who are on parole or probation. The Journey of Hope assisted just over 400 women in the 2018 -
2019 program year.
Persons with Disabilities
Estimates from the 2014-2018 American Community Survey indicate that 21,828 residents, or 10.9% of the
City’s population, is living with a disability. The City’s elderly population is most affected by disability with 37.6%
of residents over the age of 65 experiencing at least one disability. The data also shows that 51.2% th e citizens
of the City who are 75 years old and older are experiencing at least one disability. The most common disability
among the elderly is ambulatory difficulty which is defined by the Census Bureau as “having serious difficulty
walking or climbing stairs.”21

WHAT ARE THE MOST CO MMON HOUSING PROBLEMS?
HUD has defined housing problems and severe housing problems as follows:
Housing Problems
o Household lacks complete kitchen facilities
o Household lacks complete plumbing facilities
o Household is overcrowded, with more than one person per room
o Household is cost-burdened by paying 30% or more of monthly income on housing costs
Severe Housing Problems
o Household lacks complete kitchen facilities and/or complete plumbing facilities, in addition to
one of the following:
Household is severely overcrowded, with more than 1.5 persons per room
Household is severely cost-burdened by paying 50% or more of monthly income on
housing costs
All rental properties in Salt Lake City require a business license. Landlords are required to maintain minimum
standard condition of housing, as per Salt Lake City’s Existing Residential Code. The purpose of the Residential
Housing Code is to provide for the health, safety, comfort, con venience, and aesthetics of the City.
The most common housing problem in Salt Lak e City is cost-burden of monthly housing costs. Cost burden is a
problem among all income groups but is most prevalent among low -income renters.
According to the 2014-2018 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, 45% of renters are cost-burdened,
spending at least 30% of their monthly income on housing costs. Among homeowners, 25.5% of owners with a
mortgage and 10% of owners without a mortgage were cost -burdened.

ARE ANY POPULATIONS/HOUSEHOLD TYPES MORE AFFECTED THAN OTHERS BY THESE
PROBLEMS?
Housing problems, including cost-burden, are more likely to affect households earning 0 to 50% of the area
median income (AMI). Households within this income range struggle to find safe, decent, and affordable
housing and often spend a high proportion of their income on housing. These households have limited
resources for other basic essentials, including food, healthcare, childcare, and transpo rtation. Housing problems
also significantly impact households in the 50 to 80% AMI income groups, elderly households, and single -
parent households. The high rate of housing cost -burden and other housing problems points to the need to
expand affordable housing opportunities throughout Salt Lake City.
Healthcare costs have been rising and are projected to do so in the near term.23 This can add significantly to the
burden of rising housing costs and reduce a household’s ability to save for retirement, obtain additional
education, access good childcare, and even impact such basic needs as good nutrition.

BUT THREATENED WITH HOMELESSNESS. ALSO DISCUSS THE NEEDS OF FORMERL Y
HOMELESS FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE RECEIVING RAPID RE-HOUSING
ASSISTANCE AND ARE NEARING THE TERMINATION OF THAT ASSISTANCE.
In Salt Lake County, the largest group experiencing homelessness is adult-only households. The number of
households with both adults and children experiencing homelessness in 2018 decreased by about 36% between
2014 and 2019. The number of unaccompanied youths experiencing homelessness decreased by about 85%
over the same time period.24
Those transitioning out of assistance need continued counseling and often financial support to not revert back
into homelessness. When they can, area service providers try to offer this support.
However, the stakeholder meetings cond ucted as part of this Consolidated Plan revealed that caseloads are too
high and that services are spread too thin due to a lack of funds and a shortage of a highly -skilled workforce.
This results in lack of sufficient support for counseling, job training and guidance, and assistance with
behavioral health issues. It is a critical time period for those transitioning out of assistance and homelessness,
when support services are most essential in order to embark upon, and maintain, self -sufficiency. This Plan
recognizes a critical need in this area and proposes strategies to strengthen support for vulnerable populations
at critical junctures in their lifetimes.

According to HUD, at risk of homelessness25 is defined as an individual or family who:
i. Has an annual income below 30% of median family income for the area; AND

ii. Does not have sufficient resources or support networks immediately available to prevent them from
moving to an emergency shelter or another place defined in Category 1 of the “homeless” definition; 26
AND
iii. Meets ONE of the following conditions:
A. Has moved because of economic reasons two or more times during the 60 days immediately
preceding the application for assistance; OR
B. Is living in the home of another because of economic hardship; OR
C. Has been notified that their right to occupy their curr ent housing or living situation will be
terminated within 21 days after the date of application for assistance; OR
D. Lives in a hotel or motel and the cost is not paid for by charitable organizations or by Federal,
State, or local government programs for lo w-income individuals; OR
E. Lives in an SRO or efficiency apartment unit in which there reside more than two persons or
lives in a larger housing unit in which there reside more than one and a half persons per room;
OR
F. Is exiting a publicly funded instituti on or system of care; OR
G. Otherwise lives in housing that has characteristics associated with instability and an increased
risk of homelessness, as identified in the recipient’s approved consolidated plan
SPECIFY PARTICULAR H OUSING CHARACTERISTICS THAT HAVE BEEN LINKED WITH
INSTABILITY AND AN INCREASED RISK OF HOMELESSNESS
The greatest predictor of homelessness risk is severe cost-burden on households. Households paying more
than 50% of their income towards housing costs or having incomes at or below 50% o f AMI are at the greatest
risk to experience homelessness.
DISCUSSION
The most prevalent housing problem is cost -burden – especially for those who make less than 50% of AMI.
While Salt Lake City has seen a significant shift to smaller apartment units (i.e ., less bedrooms), there is still
significant need for all housing types for the severely cost -burdened. Residents who fall into this category are
usually forced to secure housing they cannot afford. Very low -income families burdened with high housing
costs lack resources for basic essentials – most critically food and healthcare. Some residents who fall into this
category are forced to share housing, causing overcrowded housing conditions. The lack of affordable housing
can lead to homelessness for our most vulnerable residents.
The City, through efforts of the Housing and Neighborhood Development Division, the City’s Redevelopment
Agency, and community partners, aim to address housing problems by preserving existing affordable housing,
increasing the supply of affordable housing, and improving substandard housing with a focus in neighborhoods
with concentrated poverty. These efforts will effectively reduce the incidence of overcrowding and cost -burden.

PROBLEMS – 91.205 (b)(2)
INTRODUCTION
This section provides an assessment of housing problems (not including severe housing problems which are
discussed in the following section) by race and ethnicity as compared to level of need as a whole. HUD defines
housing problems as the following:
Household lacks complete kitchen facilities
Household lacks complete plumbing facilities
Household is overcrowded, with more than one person per room
Household is cost-burdened by paying 30% or more of monthly income on housin g costs
According to HUD, disproportionately greater need exists when the percentage of persons in a category of
need who are members of a particular racial or ethnic group is at least 10 percentage points higher than the
percentage of persons in the category as a whole.
Tables NA-15.1- NA-15.8 show the number of households with housing problems by income, race, and
ethnicity. Each table provides data for a different income level.

DISCUSSION
The 2012-2016 CHAS data shown in Tables NA 15.1 to NA 15.8 were conducted with a sample size of 45,390
households to analyze housing problems. Out of the total sample 24,730 households or 54.5% had one or more
of the four housing problems. An additional 1,700 households or 3.7% showed no/negative income but none of
the other housing problems were exhibited. Below is a summary of the analysis of housing problems by income
level for each of the income level groups. Note that the sample size for certain ethnic groups is extremely small,
thereby producing unreliable results.
0-30% AMI: The 0-30% AMI group included 13,805 households with extremely low -income. This group
made up 30.4% of the total households sampled. Of all households in this income group that had one
or more of the housing problems, Pacific Islanders s howed the highest disproportionate need with
100% reporting at least one housing problem.

Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
30-50% AMI: The 30-50% AMI group included 11,475 households with low -income. This group made
up 25.3% of the total households sampled. Of all households in this inc ome group that had one or
more of the housing problems, Black/African American households showed the highest
disproportionate need with 95% reporting at least one housing problem and the Hispanic households
also showed a high disproportionate need with 81% reporting at least one housing problem.
50-80% AMI: The 50-80% AMI group included 12,995 households with moderate income. This group
made up 28.6% of the total households sampled. Of all households in this income group that had one
or more of the housing problems, American Indian/Alaska Native households showed the highest
disproportionate need with 62% reporting at least one housing problem.
80-100% AMI: The 80-100% AMI group included 7,115 households with middle income. This group
made up 15.7% of the total households sampled. Of all households in this income group that had one
or more of the housing problems, Pacific Islander households showed the highest disproportionate
need with 50% reporting at least one housing problem.

DISCUSSION
The 2012-2016 CHAS data shown in Table s NA 20.1 to NA 20.4 were conducted with a sample size of 45,395
households to analyze severe housing needs. Out of the total sample 13,195 households or 29.1% had one or
more of the four severe housing problems. An additional 1,700 households or 3.7% showed no/negative
income but none of the other housing problems were exhibited. Below is a summary of the analysis of housing
problems by income level for each of the income level groups. Note that the sample size for certain ethnic
groups is extremely small, thereby producing unreliable results.
0-30% AMI: The 0-30% AMI group included 13,805 households with extremely low -income. This group
made up 30.4% of the total households sampled. Of all households in this income group that had one
or more of the housing problems, Pacific Islanders showed the highest disproportionate need with 99%
reporting at least one severe housing problem.
30-50% AMI: The 30-50% AMI group included 11,480 households with low -income. This group made
up 25.3% of the total households sampled. Of all households in this income group that had one or
more of the housing problems, Hispanic households showed the highest disproportionate need with
55% reporting at least one severe housing problem.
50-80% AMI: The 50-80% AMI group included 12,990 households with moderate income. This group
made up 28.6% of the total households sampled. Of all households in this income group that had one
or more of the housing problems, Pacific Islander households showed the highest disproportionate
need with 31% reporting at least one severe housing problem.
80-100% AMI: The 80-100% AMI group included 7,120 households with middle income. This group
made up 15.7% of the total households sampled. Of all households in this income group that had one
or more of the housing problems, Pacific Islander households showed the highest disproportionate
need with 50% reporting at least one housing problem.
NA-25 DISPROPORTIONATELY GREATER NEED: HOUSING
COST BURDENS – 91.205(b)(2)
INTRODUCTION
This section provides an assessment of housing cost burdens by race and ethnicity as compared to level of
need as a whole.
According to HUD, disproportionately greater need exists when the percentage of persons in a category of
need who are members of a particular racial or ethnic grou p is at least 10 percentage points higher than the
percentage of persons in category as a whole.
Table 25.1 shows the number of cost-burdened households by race and ethnicity. Data is broken down by no
cost-burden (less than 30%), cost-burden (30-50%), severe cost-burden (50% or more) and no/negative income.

DISCUSSION
Similar to the 2015-2019 Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan, cost-burden continues to be the most prevalent
housing problem in Salt Lake City. Of the 75,445 household s included in the sample, 32.26% of all households
are shown as being cost-burdened. Black/African American, Pacific Islander, and Hispanic households all have a
higher prevalence of cost-burden with over 50% of all households that report spending 30% or m ore on
housing costs. Renter-occupied households also show a significant cost -burden with 39.5% of all renter
occupied units reportedly are cost-burdened.
NA-30 DISPROPORTIONATELY GREATER NEED: DISCUSSION –
91.205 (b)(2)
ARE THERE ANY INCOME CATEGORIES IN WHICH A RACIAL OR ET HNIC GROUP HAS
DISPROPORTIONATELY GREATER NEED THAN THE NEEDS OF THAT INCOME CATEGORY AS A
WHOLE?
Based on 2012-2016 CHAS data, the following racial and ethnic groups experience disproportionately greater
housing needs:
Black/African American
American Indian/Alaskan Native
Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander
Hispanic/Latino
Salt Lake City has evaluated disproportionate needs across racial and ethnic populations and household
compositions. In general, low -income households, which are disp roportionately comprised of racial and ethnic
minorities, are more likely to experience housing needs. Figure NA-30.1 demonstrates the variation in per
capita income across racial and ethnic groups in Salt Lake City.

Census data indicates that 13.9% of the City’s White, non-Hispanic population is living below the poverty level,
while 28.1% of Hispanics and 32.7% of Black/African American populations are living below the poverty level.
Racial and ethnic children are more likely to live in poverty than their White , non-Hispanic counterparts, as
many of the City’s racial and ethnic minorities are children. The median age of the City’s White, non-Hispanic
population is 35.2 while the median age of the Hispanic population is 26.3.27
IF THEY HAVE NEEDS NOT IDENTIFIED ABOVE, WHAT ARE THOSE NEEDS?
Considerable efforts are needed to improve housing opportunity to address the needs of minorities, wi th focus
on minorities living in concentrated areas of poverty. Minorities face housing impediments on several fronts,
including few rental opportunities for large families, a high risk of predatory lending practices, and a high risk
for housing discrimination. Gaps in access to housing opportunity and economic opportunity are likely to widen
as the City’s demographics continue to shift. Therefore, Salt Lake City is taking a comprehensive approach to
improve housing opportunity and is in the process of developing and implementing a multifaceted strategy to
address needs.
The City is collaborating with Salt Lake County, local municipalities and community partners to define and
address regional issues and priorities. Through outreach, partnership building, wo rkforce training, early
childhood education, and other efforts, the City will expand capacity within neighborhoods to take a
comprehensive and proactive role in redevelopment efforts. Efforts will focus on two areas: 1) expanding
opportunity in concentrated areas of poverty and RDA project investment areas; and 2) diversifying the housing
stock throughout the City to expand affordable housing opportunities.

NEIGHBORHOODS IN YOUR COMMUNIT Y?
Figure 30.2 demonstrates that the vast majority of the City’s minority population lives west of Interstate 15
with many of the block groups located in west -side neighborhoods having a minority share above 50%. The
City’s overall population growth between 1990 and 2010 can be attributed to minority populations, with

minorities increasing in share from 17.4% in 1990 to 29.4% in 2000 and then to 33.3% in 2010. The rate of
increase in population share has slowed recently, as the minority population only incr eased by 0.8% between
2010 and 2017 to 34.1%. Hispanics/Latinos represent the largest minority group in the City, increasing in share
from 9.7% in 1990 to 22.3% in 2010 and decreasing slightly to 21.3% in 2017.
In comparing the east and west sides of the City, there are significant differences in socioeconomic status with a
gap in opportunity for those generally living on the west side. Both minority renter and minority owner -
occupied households are more concentrated west of I-15. Minority populations are more likely than White,
non-Hispanic to be low-income renter households, as Citywide minority homeownership rates are 11
percentage points lower than rates for White, non -Hispanic residents. However, the minority share of owner-
occupied units is significantly higher west of I-15. A majority of the housing stock affordable to low and
moderate-income residents is located on the west side.

NA-35 PUBLIC HOUSING – 91.205(b)
INTRODUCTION
The Housing Authority of Salt Lake City (HASLC) is responsible for managing the public housing inventory,
developing new affordable housing units and administering the Housing Choice voucher programs for the City.
The Authority strives to provide affordable housing opportunities throughout the community by developing
new or rehabilitating existing housing that is safe, decent, and affordable – a place where a person’s income
level or background cannot be identified by the neighborhood in which they live.
In addition to the development and rehabilitation of units, the HASLC also manages several properties
emphasizing safe, decent, and affordable housing that provides an enjoyable living environment that is free
from discrimination, efficient to operate, and remains an asset to the community. The HASLC maintains a strong
financial portfolio to ensure flexibility, sustainability, and continued access to affordable tax credits,
foundations, and grant resources.
As an administrator of the City’s Housing Choice voucher programs, the Housing Choice Voucher Program
provides rental assistance to low -income families (50% of area median income and below). This program
provides rental subsidies to 3,000 low-income families, disabled, elderly, and chronically homeless clients. Other
programs under the Housing Choice umbrella include: Housing Choice Moderate Rehabilitation; Housing
Choice New Construction; Project Based Vouchers; Multifamily Pr oject Based Vouchers; Veterans Affairs
Supportive Housing Vouchers; Housing Opportunities for Persons with HIV/AIDS; and Shelter plus Care
Vouchers. Under these other Housing Choice programs, the HASLC provided rental subsidies to additional
qualified program participants.

SECTION 504 NEEDS ASSESSMENT: DESCRIBE T HE NEEDS OF PUBLIC HOUSING TENANTS AND
APPLICANTS ON THE WAITING LIST FOR ACCESSIBLE UNITS:
Administratively the Housing Authority makes every effort to comply with Section 504 requirements on a
continual basis. Their self -evaluation resulted in the following summary of measures, administrative actions,
motivations, procedures, or adoption of policies in order to comply.
Placing notices of compliance in the legal section of local newspapers.
Maintaining a general mailing list of organizations concerned with and offering assistance to people
with disabilities.
Providing assistance to people with disabilities in filling ou t forms and applications, obtaining
translators when needed, and having staff available to read or sign if required.
Providing the Equal Housing Opportunity (EHO) statement on housing materials and Equal
Employment Opportunities (EEO) statement on employment applications and job announcements.
Conducting 504 compliance orientations for new employees and ongoing training for all staff.
Maintaining a list of all Reasonable Accommodation requests.
Assigning the Compliance Manager as the official person to coor dinate and deal with 504 issues.
Adopting of grievance procedures by their Board of Commissioners.
WHAT ARE THE NUMBER AND TYPE OF FAMILIES ON THE WAITING LIST FOR PUBLIC
HOUSING AND HOUSING CHOICE (SECTION 8) T ENANT -BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE?
The Housing Authority of Salt Lake City reports that there are currently 1,865 households on the Housing
Choice waiting list and 5,188 on the Public Housing waiting list. There is a total of 7,053 households on both
lists. Of the households on both lists, 27% are elderly, and 53% have a disability. There are 14% Hispanic, 78%
are White, non-Hispanic, 13% are African American, 3% are American Indian or Alaska Native, 3% are Asian, 3%
are Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, 4% are Multi -Racial, and 1% are unknown. The waiting list is
currently not open. An applicant for voucher funding can expect to be on the wait list for approximately 1 to 6
years.
Housing Connect (Salt Lake County Housing Authority) also provided information on the waiting lists for public
housing and Housing Choice TBRA. Within Salt Lake County, there are 15,981 households on the waiting list for
public housing. Of those households, 2% have a disability, 11% are elderly, 22% have children, and 51% are
single. The average annual income is $15,399 and 77% are extremely low -income. The average wait is about 2
years, but it varies depending on bedroom size.
In Salt Lake County, there are 447 households on the waiting list for Housing Choice. Of these households, 93
have a disability, 21 are elderly, 233 are single, and 110 have children. The average annual income is $12,954
and 90% are extremely low -income. The average wait time is 6 years.
It should be noted that within the County’s data, households on the waiting list are required to self -report a
disability and this may have resulted in a lower percentage of disabled households in the data.

Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
BASED ON THE INFORMATION ABOVE AND ANY O THER INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO THE
JURISDICTION, WHAT ARE THE MOST IMMEDIAT E NEEDS OF RESIDENTS OF PUBLIC HOUSING
AND HOUSING CHOICE V OUCHER HOLDERS?
Residents need affordable housing in locations that are near public transportation, quality education,
healthcare, and other service providers. Those with the ability to work need services to increase overall self -
sufficiency.
HOW DO THESE NEEDS COMPARE TO THE HOUSING NEEDS OF THE POPUL ATION AT LARGE?
Salt Lake City is experiencing a high demand for multi -family rental units as evidenced by the overall low
vacancy rates in the City. This demand has resulted in an increa se in the number of new market rate units being
constructed throughout the City. The need for quality affordable housing scattered throughout the City has
become greater as the overall demand for rental housing has grown. Because land and development are m ore
expensive on the east side of Salt Lake City, there are fewer naturally occurring affordable housing units on the
east side. This leads to additional subsidy and creating affordable housing financing needing to be deployed for
developments occurring on the east side of the city. Even with significant public investment to subsidize and
stimulate the production of affordable housing, the supply is not meeting demand.
DISCUSSION:
Salt Lake City will continue to work with the Housing Connect and the Housin g Authority of Salt Lake City to
leverage and strategically target resources to address increasing housing needs. The number of households on
waiting lists is significant, especially for the elderly and those with disabilities. Further, the short supply of rental
units and low vacancy rates has exacerbated the need for additional affordable rental housing.
NA-40 HOMELESS NEEDS ASSESSMENT – 91.205(c)
INTRODUCTION
Salt Lake City representatives participate in the local Continuum of Cares (COC) executive boar d and its
prioritization committee to ensure the Continuum of Cares priorities are considered during Emergency
Solutions Grant (ESG) allocations. Also, the three local ESG funders meet regularly to coordinate ESG and COC
activities to make sure services are not being over or under funded and services being funded meet the
community’s needs and goals.
The Salt Lake Continuum of Care contracts with the State of Utah to administer HMIS. All service agencies in the
region and the rest of the State are under a uniform data standard for HUD reporting and local ESG funders. All
ESG funded organizations participate in HMIS. Currently, HMIS is supported by Client Track.
Salt Lake Continuum of Care conducts an annual Point -in-Time count at the end of January to coun t sheltered
(emergency shelter and transitional housing) and unsheltered homeless individuals. Unsheltered homeless
individuals are counted by canvassing volunteers. The volunteers use the VI -SPDAT to interview and try to
connect unsheltered homeless indiv iduals into services.
A number of critical reports define not only the issues facing the homeless but likely solutions to these issues.
The most recent report is The State of Utah Strategic Plan on Homelessness September 2019. Priorities of this
Plan include:
Fewer days spent in emergency beds or shelters
Fewer persons returning to homelessness

Essential facts about homelessness in Utah include:
As of January 2018, Utah had an estimated 2,876 experiencing homelessness on any given day, as
reported by Continuums of Care to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Developmen t (HUD). Of
that total, 287 were family households, 239 were Veterans, 191 were unaccompanied young adults
(aged 18-24), and 306 were individuals experiencing chronic homelessness.
Per State of Utah Annual Report on homelessness, there were 14,289 persons that experienced
homelessness state wide in 2019. 9,387 were located in Salt Lake County.
Public school data reported to the U.S. Department of Education during the 2016 -2017 school year
shows that an estimated 15,094 public school students experienced hom elessness over the course of
the year. Of that total, 636 students were unsheltered, 994 were in shelters, 459 were in hotels/motels,
and 13,005 were doubled up.
According to the 2019 Point-in-Time Count, Salt Lake County has 1,844 homeless individuals, representing
nearly 66% of homelessness in the State. 193 of these individuals are unsheltered.
.09% of Utah’s population is homeless
29% of our homeless live in family groups of parents and children
Youth between the ages of 18 and 24 comprise 7% of our ho meless population
Domestic violence impacts 22.1% of our homeless population
11% of the homeless population in Utah is experiencing “chronic” homelessness

ESTIMATE THE NUMBER AND TYPE OF FAMILIES IN NEED OF HOUSING ASSISTANCE FOR
FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN AND THE FAMILIES OF VETERANS.
Salt Lake County has 150 families (526 individuals) and 157 veterans experiencing homelessness, with no known
veteran families. The primary tool to help these families is rapid re -housing to reduce the time families
experience homelessness to as short as possible. Families traditionally experience homelessness for short
periods of time following cataclysmic events. Continuing the rapid re -housing program, coupled with homeless
prevention efforts, will help families while they experience these catastrophic times.
DESCRIBE THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HOMELESSNESS BY RACIAL AND ETHNIC GROUP.
The majority of individuals experiencing homelessness are White, non -Hispanic (1,349). The second largest
group is Hispanic (426), followed by Black/African American (203) a nd American Indian/Alaska Native (97). This
is similar to the makeup of Salt Lake City where White, non -Hispanic accounts for 73.7% of the population,
Hispanic (21.3%), Black/African American (2.0%), and American Indian/Alaska Native (1.3%).
DESCRIBE THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF UNSHELTERED AND SHEL TERED HOMELESSNESS
Salt Lake City has 1,651individuals who are sheltered and 193 unsheltered homeless individuals. The Salt Lake
homeless services community does a good job sheltering homeless individuals. However, it must continue to
work to move people out of emergency shelters and transitional housing and into permanent stable housing.

INTRODUCTION
This section analyzes the needs of non -homeless special populations to include the elderly, persons with
disabilities (including physical, mental, developmental, as well as persons with chronic substance abuse
disorders), persons living with HIV/AIDS, survivors of dating/domestic violence, single -parent households, large
family households, and immigrants.

DESCRIBE THE CHARACT ERISTICS OF SPECIAL NEEDS POPULATION IN YOUR COMMUNITY:
A description of special needs populations in Salt Lake City is as follows:
Elderly
Salt Lake City has continued to be home to a younger populace as compared to the population of the rest of
the United States. The Census Bureau tracks a metric called the “Old -Age Dependency Ratio” which measures
the number of people aged 65 and older to every 100 working age people. In this case, working age is defined
as anyone between the ages of 20 and 64. Table NA-45.3 compares the City’s ratio to those in the county,
state, and national levels and shows that Salt Lake City has a higher share of working age residents compared
to those who are 65 years and older.

Another factor that will need to be considered is the expected growth in the elderly population. The elderly
population has increased by just over 20,000 people between the 2010 Census and the 2014-2018 ACS 5-year
estimates. As shown in Table NA-45.4, the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute currently projects the elderly
population to increase at a substantially greater rate moving forward. They project that the elderly population
will account for 14.5% of Salt Lake County’s population by 2030 with the trend continui ng until almost one in
every five residents will be considered elderly. This expected increase will have large impacts on housing
demand, transportation, healthcare services and other supportive services.

Persons with Disabilities
Estimates from the 2014-2018 American Community Survey indicate that 10.9% of the City’s population is living
with a disability. It is also estimated that 21,828 citizens have a disability. The City’s elderly population is most
affected by disability with 37.6% experiencing at least one disability. The data also shows that 51.2% the citizens
of the City who are 75 years old and older are experiencing at least one disability. The most common disability
among the elderly is ambulatory difficulty which is d efined by the Census Bureau as “having serious difficulty
walking or climbing stairs.”28 A complete breakdown of the percentage of citizens aged 65 years old and older
who are experiencing these disabilities is shown in Figure NA-45.2.

The younger population experiences a much smaller percentage of disability. For residents ranging in age from
18 to 64 years old, only 8.8% of the population has a disability. The most common disability is cognitive
difficulty, which effects 4.4% of this age group. Second is ambulatory difficulty effecting 3.4% and independent
living difficulty effecting 2.7%. Figure NA-45.3 shows the complete list of disabilities and percentages.

Female-Headed Households with Children
In Salt Lake City, there are 6,743 households headed by single females, with no husband present. Of that group,
3,822 of these households have children under the age of 18 years old present in the home.29 These households
frequently face many unique and sign ificant challenges that other populations do not currently face. According
to the 2014-2018 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, Salt Lake City’s family poverty rate is 10.6%,
while the single-mother household poverty rate is 40.7%.
Single female-headed households with children often lack the resources necessary to find adequate childcare
or job training services. This in turn impacts the woman’s ability to provide stable housing and care for her
children. If a mother is able to find work and childc are, the rising cost of childcare further diminishes single
mothers’ paychecks.

Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
There were 151,580 children in Utah under the age of 6 who needed care in 2019, but there were only 41,092
available slots reported in childcare programs. 30 This means there are at least two additional children in need of
childcare for every child who is currently in a childcare program. In 2016, the National Household Survey
reported that the main reason families had difficulty finding childcare was cost (31%) with the second most
common reason being “lack of open slots” (27%).
Immigrants and Refugees
Salt Lake City’s thriving economy, including strong wage growth, educational opportunities, and availability of
services attracts immigrants from around the world. Since opening in 1994, the International Rescue
Committee’s Salt Lake City branch has resettled over 11,000 individuals from roughly 26 countries, with an
average of about 450 individuals settled each year in the Salt Lake City over the past 5 years. Besides refugee
resettlement, Salt Lake City attracts immigrants for job opportunities, university studies, and family connections.
According to the 2014-2018 ACS 5-Year Estimates, 32,709 (16.7%) of Salt Lake City’s 195,701 residents are
foreign born.
Victims of Dating and Domestic Violence
The Utah Domestic Violence Coalition reported that 36 Utahans lost their lives to domestic violence in 2018 and
has also reported 19 deaths as of the end of June 2019. Of these reported fatalities, 19 of these victims in 2018
and 10 of the reported 2019 fatalities have been Salt Lake County residents. 31
In addition, a total of 1,449 men, women, and children were sheltered in the two Utah domestic violence
shelters located in Salt Lake City. Individuals who entered the domestic violence sh elter system stayed for an
average of 45 days in 2019. There are many barriers for survivors of domestic violence to overcome including
securing permanent and stable housing, coping with trauma, accessing support for health and mental
healthcare, and addressing the needs of children.
Large-Family Households
A large family is defined as having five or more members. According to the Salt Lake City Fair Housing Equity
Assessment, the number of large-family households receiving public assistance in Salt Lake C ity in 2019 totaled
9,991. The vast majority of large-family households receiving public assistance reside on the City’s west side in
zip codes 84104 and 84116, with over 55% of the large-family households receiving public assistance residing
in these zip codes.32
Persons with HIV/AIDS
A report published by the Utah Department of Health indicates that 3,169 persons were living with HIV/AIDS in
the State of Utah in December 2016. For nearly a decade, the number of people newly diagnosed with HIV in
Utah declined steadily until 2011. After Utah experienced a large decrease in the number of cases during 2010,
HIV infections have increased each year. During 2017, 83 people in the metropolitan statistical area were
diagnosed with HIV. The cumulative number of AIDS cases reached 2,094, and the diagnosis rate was 1.8% per
100,000 population.33
Medical and supportive resources for persons with HIV/AIDS are concentrated in Salt Lake City and Salt Lake
County. Therefore, the majority of Utah’s population with HIV/AIDS c omes to Salt Lake City for medical
treatment and services. This places a burden on local resource delivery systems aimed at providing stable
housing, supportive services, and case management for these individuals.

WHAT ARE THE HOUSING AND SUPPORTIVE SERV ICE NEEDS OF THESE POPULATIONS AND
HOW ARE THESE NEEDS DETERMINED?
The housing and supportive service needs of special populations was determined through focus groups with
public service stakeholders, an evaluation of data derived from organizations who wo rk with these populations,
and other local and national data sources. Needs are as follows:
Elderly
The housing and supportive service needs of Salt Lake City’s elderly population will increase as the baby
boomer generation continues to age. Elderly resid ents have a greater need for housing maintenance and
rehabilitation assistance than the population as a whole. The areas of the City where elderly populations are
concentrated, the East Bench and upper Avenues neighborhoods, contain an older and mostly sin gle-family
housing stock. There is a need to retrofit, update, and provide accessibility modifications for housing units
occupied by elderly residents to allow them the opportunity to age in place. In addition to housing assistance,
elderly populations are in need of in-home medical care, food services, and transportation services.
Persons with Disabilities
Affordable, stable, long-term housing is the most critical need for persons with mental, physical, and/or
development disabilities, as well as persons suffering from addiction. Persons with mental, physical,
developmental, and substance abuse disabilities are more likely to experience housing instability and
homelessness than the population as a whole. According to the State of Utah’s 2019 Strategic Plan on
Homelessness, which quotes from the 2018 Point -in-Time Count (PIT), one in three individuals experiencing
homelessness in Utah is severely mentally ill, and one in four have a substance abuse disorder. Additionally,
individuals who experience homelessn ess are less likely to access healthcare systems and to suffer from
preventable diseases.
A large portion of the City’s disabled population deals with ambulatory difficulties. Approximately 44.8% of
residents reporting a disability indicate that at least one of their disabilities is ambulatory. Just under one in
every 20 residents in Salt Lake City has serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs.34 Accommodations for those
experiencing these difficulties will necessitate more accessible units with easier access to buildings.
Female-Headed Households with Children
More long-term stable housing is needed to address the needs of low -income female-headed households with
children, as well as job training, employment placement services, and childcare opportuni ties
There were 151,580 children in Utah under the age of 6 who needed care in 2019, but there were only 41,092
available slots reported in childcare programs.35 This means there are at least two additional children in need of
childcare for every child who is currently in a childcare program. In 2016, the National Household Survey
reported that the main reason families across the nation had difficulty finding childcare was cost (31%) with the
second most common reason being “lack of open slots” (27%). This, combined with the State’s childcare
discrepancy, indicates that there is an increased need for more affordable and available childcare services to
allow female-headed households to provide for their children.
Immigrants and Refugees
Immigrants and refugees come with many needs, including affordable housing, cultural orientation services,
healthcare, legal assistance, and transportation. There are many barriers to affordable housing for this group,
including language, lack of credit history, and lack of in come/employment history. As such, immigrants and
refugees are at high risk for homelessness and housing discrimination.

92
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
Services needed for immigrants and refugees include a path to self -sufficiency. Such services may include
language training, employment assistance, and assistance with locating housing and transportation.
Resettlement programs, currently provided through the Refugee and Immigration Center - Asian Association of
Utah, Catholic Community Services and International Rescue Committee take a co mprehensive approach to the
long-term outcomes of resettlement.
Survivors of Dating/Domestic Violence
Because survivors of domestic violence often reside with their abuser, they are at high risk for homelessness.
Many survivors resist leaving abusive situ ations because they do not have the income, training, or resources to
acquire their own housing. Emergency and transitional housing is especially important to this group in order to
provide them with a place to escape the cycle of abuse while they work to attain self-sufficiency. In addition,
many survivors are in need of supportive services to address physical and mental trauma.
Large-Family Households
The City has seen a decrease in housing stock for large families. In 2013, 8.4% of all rentals had 4 or more
bedrooms; this number declined to 6.7% by 2018. The percentage of 2-3 bedroom rental units increased
indicating that smaller housing units are being built.
Persons with HIV/AIDS
Achieving housing stability is often difficult for persons with HIV/AIDS because of problems with substance
abuse and physical or mental health issues. These challenges can also make it difficult for these persons to
obtain and maintain employment that provides a stable source of income for housing.
Salt Lake City’s Housing and Neighborhood Development Division is committed to ensuring HOPWA project
sponsors work together in a coordinated, collaborative, and flexible manner to effectively serve HOPWA
program participants. This includes supporting efforts for HOPWA -assisted households to access and maintain
housing, medical treatment, and sources of income. Project sponsors network with each other to alleviate
identified barriers and promote an environment that ensures HOPWA clients are in treatment and have access
to safe, decent, and affordable housing. Clients with mental and substance abuse disorders can receive case
management services through Utah AIDS Foundation to obtain further access to services.
DISCUSS THE SIZE AND CHARACTERISTICS OF T HE POPULATION WITH HIV/AIDS AND THEIR
FAMILIES WITHIN THE ELIGIBLE METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREA:
Utah has seen a declining rate of individuals diagnosed with HIV who have ever been classified as stage 3
(AIDS). In 2012, there were 3.9 new cases of HIV/AIDS per 100,000 population accor ding to the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control HIV Surveillance. According to this same source, in 2017 the rate was 1.8 per 100,000
population. In 2012, 110 individuals were diagnosed with HIV, according to the Utah Department of Health.36 In
2017, 83 new HIV cases were reported.37
Although Utah has seen slightly declining rates in new cases of HIV, there is significant racial disparity in the
prevalence of new HIV cases. In 2015, 26.7% of new HIV cases were for Hispanic or Latino individuals who only
account for 13.7% of the population in Utah.

The number of individuals newly diagnosed with HIV already progressed to AIDS at the time of diagnosis was
significantly skewed to Hispanic and Asian individuals, as d emonstrated in Table NA 45.5. It should be noted
that there were only 6 total new HIV diagnoses of Asian individuals in 2017, so 50% indicates 3 individuals were
also diagnosed at Stage 3 (AIDS) at their initial diagnosis. Meanwhile, there were 38 individu als of Hispanic
ethnicity who were diagnosed with HIV in 2017 and 9 of those individuals were also diagnosed with Stage 3
(AIDS).

NA-50 NON-HOUSING COMMUNITY DE VELOPMENT NEEDS –
91.215(f)
DESCRIBE THE JURISDICTION’S NEED FOR PUBLIC FACILITIES:
Police and Fire
Because of significant contributions to police and fire infrastructure during the past decade, public safety is not
currently considered a top priority community development need. During that time period, Salt Lake City
constructed a $125 million Public Safety Building which is shared with the City’s Fire Department and which is
meeting the need for future growth -related police officers. Public safety also receives impact fees which will
help to offset any future capital facility needs associ ated with new growth in the City.
HOW WERE THESE NEEDS DETERMINED?
As part of the Consolidated Plan process, an Interdepartmental Technical Advisory Group (ITAG) met three
times to discuss needs from the perspective of various department within the City.
DESCRIBE THE JURISDICTION’S NEED FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS:
Parks and Public Lands
In order to maintain the current level of service, Salt Lake City Parks and Public Lands Division plans to invest
approximately $38.7 million between 2017 and 2027. These co sts should be offset by impact fees related to
new growth.
The Salt Lake City Parks and Public Lands Division participated in developing an Impact Fee Facilities Plan (IFFP)
that identifies the capital facilities the City will need to build within the nex t ten years (2012-2021) to continue
the current level of service and accommodate the service needs of projected growth.
Salt Lake City Parks and Public Lands Division currently owns 2,378 park acres with an estimated land value of
$210,134,805 and improvements value of $96,351,475. These assets are used to provide the current level of
service which equates to an investment of $1,594 per capita.
Transportation
In order to maintain the current level of service Salt Lake City Streets and Transportation Divi sions plan to invest
approximately $303,200,600 in capital facilities over the next ten years, $41,805,960 of which is growth related,
and therefore eligible to be paid for with impact fees. The remaining amount is the result of correcting an
existing deficiency in available space and investing in improved service levels, and therefore is not impact fee
eligible. The remaining amount must be funded with revenue sources other than impact fees. The City has
issued an $87 million bond to pay for street improvements.
HOW WERE THESE NEEDS DETERMINED?
As part of the Consolidated Plan process, an Interdepartmental Technical Advisory Group (ITAG) met three
times to discuss needs from the perspective of various department within the City.
The Salt Lake City Streets and Transportation Divisions participated in the development of an Impact Fee
Facilities Plan (IFFP) in 2016, reflecting growth from 2017 to 2027, and that identified the capital facilities the
City will need to build within the 10-year timeframe to continue the current level of service and accommodate
the service needs of projected growth.
95
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
The bulk of the transportation improvements will be paid for with an $87 million bond issued by Salt Lake City,
supplemented by impact fees. Therefore, street improvements are not considered to be a top priority of this
Plan.
DESCRIBE THE JURISDICTION’S NEED FOR PUBLIC SERVICES:
The major need for public services is for affordable housing and for homeless services. Related to these two
overarching needs are transportation needs for low -income households, economic opportunities such as job
training to increase self -sufficiency and supportive services for individuals with disabilities and behavioral health
challenges. A summary of needs for the homeless and non -homeless populations is as follows:
Homeless Public Service Needs
More mental health treatment services, including case management where current caseloads are
considerably too high
Supportive housing for the mentally ill
Job training
Permanent supportive service s, co -located with other supportive services
Tenant-based rental assistance
Homelessness prevention services
Access to transportation services (for job seeking, medical visits, etc.)
Life skills training

HOW WERE THESE NEEDS DETERMINED?
Salt Lake City’s homeless needs are determined through evaluation of the annual Point -in-Time Study as well as
the recently released State Strategic Plan on Homelessness. In addition, the public participation portion of this
process featured a series of three meetings with stakeholder agencies, including Shelter the Homeless,
Volunteers of America-Utah, Salt Lake Valley Habitat for Humanity, and Housing Connect formerly known as
the Salt Lake County Housing Authority. This process was a critical factor in determining homeless needs.
Finally, a survey was prepared which received over 4,000 responses. The s urvey results indicated that homeless
and affordable housing issues should be the top priority for the City.
The non-homeless public service needs of Salt Lake City’s low to moderate -income residents and special
populations were determined through a Stakeholder Advisory Committee that included representatives from a
broad view of public service providers (discussed in more detail in the Citizen Participation section of this Plan),
as well as a review of local and national data.

2020-2024
MA-05 OVERVIEW
Salt Lake City has transitioned over the years to become one of the most diverse, sustainable, and innovative
econom ies in the nation. With unsurpassed outdoor recreation opportunities, internationally acclaimed
technology and research facilities, well -respected and competitive higher education institutions, industry -
leading healthcare facilities, a modern light rail an d streetcar transit system, an expanding international airport,
a growing population, an educated workforce, a multilingual population and diverse cultural opportunities, the
City is attracting nationally -recognized businesses. This provides an opportunity to build strong neighborhoods
with vibrant businesses, along with diverse housing opportunities.
However, with this strong economy, housing prices have increased faster than household incomes, making it
more and more difficult for low -income families to find affordable housing. Between 2000 and 2018, rental
rates have increased by 81.8%; rental rates have continued to rise to historically high rates, with a 32% increase
between 2010 and 2018. Decreases in rental affordability, combined with extremely low vacancy rates, have
created a very tight rental market, leading to increased difficulty for low -income households to obtain
affordable housing.
Individuals displaced from housing will have a more difficult time, given market conditions, of finding suitab le
substitute housing. There is a need for preservation of existing housing stock and strategies to combat
displacement in housing for vulnerable populations. Such strategies will benefit low -income populations and
stabilize neighborhoods.
Some key points of the market analysis include:
Housing Market Conditions
Between 2000 and 2018 the cost of housing significantly increased for both renters and homeowners.
The median rental rates increased by 81.8% and home values increased by 89.8%. During the same
time period, the median household income only increased by 52.6%. Since incomes did not keep up
with increases in housing costs, it has become more difficult for residents to buy a home as evidenced
by a declining homeownership rate (from 56.9% in 2000 to 48.4% in 2018).38
An analysis of Salt Lake City’s homebuyer market demonstrates a reasonable range of low -income
households will continue to qualify for mortgage financing assistance:
US Census data, Salt Lake City, 2000-2018:
o The median home values increased 89.8%, from $152,400 to $289,200
o The median household income increased by 52.6%, from $36,944 in 2000 to $56,370

Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
In 2018, the apartment vacancy rate in Salt Lake City was the lowest rate in Salt Lake County at 2.7%
and the Downtown area had an even lower rate at 1.6%.39 A tight rental market and rising rents create
a barrier for households in need of affordable housing.
An analysis of housing gaps has determined that Salt Lake City has a shortage of 6,177 rental units
affordable to renters earning less than $20,000 per year. Th is is down from a shortage of 8,240 rental
units in 2013.
Specifically, shortages occur for affordable rental housing for extremely and very low -income
households making less than 50% AMI; affordable and accessible housing for persons with disabilities;
affordable rental housing for large families; and permanent supportive housing for vulnerable
populations such as individuals who are chronically homeless, mentally disabled, or physically disabled.
Barriers to Affordable Housing
Poor housing conditions c an also be a barrier to suitable, affordable housing. HUD defines poor
housing conditions as overcrowding, cost -burdened, a lack of complete plumbing, or kitchen facilities.
Based on this definition, about 44.8 % of renters and 20.8% of owners live in a un it with at least one
condition. 2012-2016 CHAS data also indicates that there are 570 housing units, vacant and occupied,
that lack a complete kitchen or plumbing facilities.
Barriers to affordable housing development include both market and regulatory f actors. These include
land costs, construction costs, financing resources, foreclosures, neighborhood market conditions,
economic conditions, land use regulations, development assessments, permit processing procedures, a
lack of zoning incentives and landl ord-tenant policies.
A contrast of mortgage denials and approvals exists between racial and ethnic populations in Salt Lake
County. The mortgage application denial rate for Hispanics (20%) in Salt Lake City is significantly higher
than that of non-Hispanics (13%).40
Transportation costs can be a barrier to affordable housing, especially if transportation costs are
significant due to distances traveled and time spent during the commute. Nearly half of workers living
in the City travel 15 to 29 minutes for work.
Housing Services
The Housing Authority of Salt Lake City currently manages 30 properties including Housing Choice
Vouchers, Project Based Vouchers, Mod Rehab Vouchers and programs for Veterans, homeless,
disabled, and elderly persons. These properties offer over 1,600 units of varying sizes.
A variety of facilities and services are offered to homeless individuals and families, including emergency
shelters, transitional housing, safe havens, permanent supportive housing, tenant based rental
assistance, outreach and engagement, housing placement, general medical, employment, substance
abuse, behavioral health, legal aid, veteran services, public assistance, family crisis, hygiene, and other
miscellaneous services. These services are provided by govern ment agencies, faith -based
organizations, service-oriented groups, housing authorities, health service organizations, and others.

In addition to supporting housing and homeless services with federal funding, Salt Lake City
Corporation spent $2,554,000 on Homelessness Related Services in fiscal year 2018-19. The funding
came from General Fund resources and highlights the City’s commitment to providing support for our
most vulnerable citizens.
Salt Lake City’s housing and supportive service network addresses the needs of the elderly, persons
with disabilities, persons with substance addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and
public housing residents through a variety of efforts that are designed to be coordinated a case

MA-10 NUMBER OF HOUSING UNITS – 91.120(a)&(b)(2)
INTRODUCTION
The Census Bureau estimates in the 2014-2018 American Community Survey that there are 84,784 housing
units in the City with 92.3% reportedly occupied; 48.4% of those units are owner-occupied. The number of
housing units has increased by 4,060 units from the 80,724 units reported in the 2010 U.S. Census. This is an
increase of 5%, which is much higher than the national increase of 3.6% in that same period. Salt Lake City is
the most populated city in the County and comprises 21.7% of the County’s housing stock.
Table MA-10.1 shows a breakdown of the housing inventory located within the City. 1-unit detached structures
are the largest property type, accounting for almost half the housing units in Salt Lake City. However, multi -
family housing complexes of 20 or more units saw the largest growth since 2013 in terms of percentage and
now represents approximately 22% of the properties by ho using type.

DESCRIBE THE NUMBER AND TARGETING (INCOME LEVEL/TYPE OF FAMILY SERVED) OF
UNITS ASSISTED WITH FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL PROGRAMS:
Salt Lake City’s Housing and Neighborhood Development Division and community partners utilize federal,
state, and local funding to expand housing opportunities for low - and moderate-income households, as well as
vulnerable and at-risk populations. Sources and financing include low -income housing tax credits, Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant
(ESG), HOPWA, Salt Lake City Housing Trust Fund, the Olene Walker Housing Loan Fund, Salt Lake Cit y’s
Redevelopment Agency, the City’s General Fund, Funding Our Future, and Housing Connect. The following
funding sources are utilized to target specific housing activities:
CDBG
A portion of Salt Lake City’s CDBG funding is utilized for housing activitie s, including housing rehabilitation,
historic preservation, home repair programs, tenant -based rental assistance, homeownership, and down
payment assistance. CDBG funding is targeted to households earning 0 to 80% of AMI.
ESG
Salt Lake City utilizes ESG f unds to provide homelessness prevention assistance to households who would
otherwise become homeless and to rapidly re-house persons who are experiencing homelessness. The funds
provide for a variety of assistance, including emergency shelter, homeless pre vention, short- or medium -term
rental assistance, housing placement, and housing stability case management. ESG funding is targeted to
extremely low -income individuals and households that are at or below 30% AMI.
HOME
Salt Lake City utilizes HOME funds to provide a wide range of activities including building, acquiring, and/or
rehabilitating affordable housing for rent or homeownership, as well as providing direct rental assistance to
low-income households. HOME funding is targeted to households earning 0 to 80% AMI with rental assistance
specifically targeted to a lower AMI.
HOPWA
Salt Lake City administers the HOPWA program for the Salt Lake Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), which
includes Salt Lake, Summit, and Tooele Counties. HOPWA funds are utiliz ed to provide the following housing
services to HOPWA eligible persons:
Housing Information Services
Tenant-based Rental Assistance (TBRA)
Project-based Rental Assistance (PBRA)
Short-term Rent, Mortgage, Utility Assistance (STRMU)
Permanent Housing Placement Assistance (PHP)
Housing Supportive Services
Housing Coordination/Resource Identification
HOPWA funding targets extremely low - to low-income individuals diagnosed with HIV/AIDS.
Local Funds
The Salt Lake City Housing Trust Fund provides financial as sistance to support the development and
preservation of affordable and special needs housing in Salt Lake City. Eligible Activities include acquisition, new
construction, and rehabilitation of both multi -family rental properties and single-family homeownership.
Funding is targeted to households earning up to 80% AMI.
102
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
Salt Lake City Redevelopment Agency
Under Utah Code Title 17C Community Reinvestment Agencies Act, the Salt Lake City Redevelopment Agency is
able to contribute up to 20% of tax increment from each project area to fund affordable housing projects
throughout the City. Available funds vary from year-to-year, depending on the amount of tax increment
generated in the Agency’s various project areas. In the past 50 years, the Redevelopment Agency has created
nearly 7,000 housing units of which nearly half are affordable.
Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC)
The Utah Housing Corporation (UHC) Multifamily Finance Department is committed to partnering with
developers and investors to utilize State and Federal Tax Credits and bond financing. These resources facilitate
the development of new and rehabilitated apartments to provide housing for low -income families, senior
citizens, and more. The program increases the availability of rental housing to househ olds earning 60% or less
of the area median income.
During the 2019 fiscal year, UHC allocated $8.7 million in annual 9% federal tax credits and $1.3 million in
annual 4% federal tax credits. The UHC helped over 4,200 families purchase a home with its dow n payment
assistance program and helped fund affordable housing development that created nearly 1,000 new rental units
across Utah.
Much of the development of affordable housing development or preservation that occurs in Salt Lake City
requires a funding partnership that includes a combination of LIHTC, State funding via the Olene Walker
Housing Loan Fund, and City resources.
State Funds
The Olene Walker Housing Loan Fund’s (OWHLF) Multi -Family Program provides financial assistance for the
acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of affordable rental households at or below 50% of AMI, and the
median income of all households served through the OWHLF is 43.8% of AMI.
During fiscal year 2019, the fund supported construction or rehabilitation of 1,281 un its of multi-family housing,
as well as 136 single-family units statewide.

DOES THE AVAILABILIT Y OF HOUSING UNITS MEET THE NEEDS OF THE POPULATION?
According to an apartment market report completed in the summer of 2018, the Salt Lake City area apartment
vacancy rate was at 2.7% with the Downtown area reporting a 1.7% vacanc y rate.41 With rental inventory nearly
completely occupied, it is difficult for households at all AMI levels to find adequate rental housing, with
increased difficulty for households at lower AMIs. Limitations on housing choice are particularly significant for
the low-income elderly, who have the highest levels of disability and tend to live in older housing stock.
Housing availability for persons with a disability will become increasingly scarce as the baby -boomer cohort
increases in age.

DESCRIBE THE NEED FOR SPECIFIC TYPES OF HOUSING:
Salt Lake City has evaluated the need for specific housing types in consideration of current housing needs and
future population changes. Currently, specific segments of Salt Lake City’s population are not well -served by the
housing market, with gaps in the following types of housing:
Affordable rental housing for extremely low -income households
Affordable and accessible housing for persons with disabilities
Affordable rental housing for large families
Permanent supportive housing for vulnerable populations to include individuals who are chronically
homeless, mentally disabled, physically disabled and others
MA-15 COST OF HOUSING – 91.210(a)
INTRODUCTION
Between 2000 and 2018, the cost of housing significantly increase d for both renters and homeowners. As
demonstrated in Table MA-15.1, the median contract rent increased from $516 in 2000 to $938 in 2018, an
81.8% increase. Median home values increased 89.8%, from $152,400 to $289,200. During the same time
period, the median household income only increased by 52.6%, from $36,944 in 2000 to $56,370 in 2018. Since
incomes have not kept up with increasing housing costs, it is more difficult for residents to buy or rent a home.
Subsequently, homeownership rates have decreased from 56.9% in 2000 to 48.4% in 2018.

IS THERE SUFFICIENT HOUSING FOR HOUSEHOL DS AT ALL INCOME LEV ELS?
The low supply of affordable housing can be seen when comparing Salt Lake City’s supply of housing at various
price points with the number of households who can afford such housing. The lack of affordable housing is
particularly prevalent for extremely low -income households. An analysis of housing gaps has determined that
Salt Lake City has a shortage of 6,177 rental units affordable to renters earning less than $20,000 per year. This
indicates that the shortage has decreased by 2,063 since 2013 when the reported shortage was 8,240. Some of
these renters are university students who will have future earnings increases, but many are low -income families,
persons with disabilities,10 and persons who are unemployed.

HOW IS AFFORDABILITY OF HOUSING LIKELY TO CHANGE CONSIDERING CHANGES TO HOME
VALUES AND/OR RENTS?
Housing costs have increased during the past few years in both the rental and ownership markets. As Table
MA-15.6 demonstrates, Salt Lake County rental rates are at an all -time high, with a 51% increase between 2010
and 2018. Decreases in rental affordability combined with low vacancy rates have created a very tight rental
market, particularly for low -income households.

HOW DO HOME RENTS/FAIR MARKET RENT COMPARE TO AREA MEDIAN RENT? HOW MIGHT
THIS IMPACT YOUR STRATEGY TO PRODUCE OR PRESERVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING?
HOME rents and Housing Choice Fair Market Rents are lower than actual rental rates in Salt Lake City.
Therefore, it is critical that the existing stock of subsidized housing is preserved and mechanisms are put in
place to help address the gap in HOME/Fair Market Rents and t he prevailing rent amounts. Individuals and
families displaced from subsidized housing will have a difficult time finding suitable replacement housing
affordable at their income level. In the current housing market, rental subsidies are usually required fo r
populations that fall below 50% AMI. The City should prioritize the rehabilitation of existing housing stock and
anti-displacement strategies to meet the needs of vulnerable populations and stabilize neighborhoods.
DISCUSSION
Tight market conditions with historically high rents and very low vacancy rates have exacerbated the challenges
of low-income households to obtain affordable housing. An analysis of housing gaps has determined that Salt
Lake City has a shortage of 6,177 rental units affordable to renters earning less than $20,000 per year. This is a
decline of 2,063 units from the shortage of 8,240 rental units in 2013. With rising rents and few units available,
this situation is likely to worsen. It is the City’s intent to be proactively involved i n preserving existing affordable
housing and facilitating the development of additional affordable housing. This is essential in order to prevent
an increase in homelessness from the current extremely tight housing market. The Strategic Plan identifies how
Salt Lake City intends to use federal funding to preserve and facilitate affordable housing in our community.
MA-20 CONDITION OF HOUSING – 91.210(a)
INTRODUCTION
HUD defines housing conditions as overcrowding, cost -burdened, a lack of complete plumbing, or kitchen
facilities. Based on this definition, about 44.8% of renters and 20.8% of the owners live in a unit with at least one
condition. CHAS data also indicates that there are 570 housing units, vacant and occupied, that lack a complete
kitchen or plum bing facilities.
DESCRIBE THE JURISDICTION’S DEFINITION F OR “SUBSTANDARD COND ITION” AND
“SUBSTANDARD CONDITION BUT SUITABLE FOR REHABILITATION:”
The City defines substandard housing units as those that are not in compliance with the City’s existing housi ng
code. “Substandard condition” is not a term this jurisdiction uses; instead, projects are designed to address
items in residential units that do not meet that code. The City also follows the federal register definitions for
substandard housing as defined in 24 CFR § 5.425 Federal preference: Substandard housing. For units to be
considered in “substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation,” they must be both economically and

DESCRIBE THE NEED FO R OWNER AND RENTER REHABILITATION BASED ON THE CONDITION
OF THE JURISDICTION’S HOUSING:
An indicator commonly used to evaluate the condition of housing stock is the age of the unit. Older homes are
more likely to have condition problems and are at higher risk of lead-based paint. Approximately 29% of
housing units in Salt Lake City were built prior to 1940.42 Many older homes may be in excellent condition due
to revitalization efforts in the area; however, condition issues are still mor e likely to occur in older homes. Many
of the block groups with a high percentage of older units tend to be located below 900 South and east of State
Street. This can be seen in the figure below:

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has identified that approximately three -quarters of the nation’s
housing stock built before 1978 contains some lead -based paint. This means residential units built prior to 1978

are considered to be most at risk for containin g lead-based paints (LBP) as the use of LBP was prohibited in
residential units after 1978. The 2012-2016 CHAS reports that approximately 83% of owner-occupied units and
73% of renter-occupied units were built prior to 1980. This means that up to 77.7% of Salt Lake City’s total
housing stock is at risk of exposure to LBP.
DISCUSSION
Salt Lake City has many older homes which are more likely to contain LBP. Homes built before 1940 have an
87% chance of containing LBP according to the EPA and 29% of the City’s housing supply was built during 1939
or earlier.43
FIGURE MA-20.2
PROBABILITY OF CONTAINING LEAD-BASED PAINT BY YEAR CONSTRUCTED
Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, http://www2.epa.gov/lead/protect-your-family
Lead is highly toxic and can c ause many serious health problems, especially in young children who have a
greater risk of exposure and also a higher level of susceptibility to lead poisoning. Families with children under
six may face the risk of the child ingesting paint chips on the wa lls and floors of these older buildings. These
highly toxic paint chips, and even lead dust, can cause lead poisoning. According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, there is no identified safe level of lead exposure in children.
Exposure to lead can lead to:
Damage to the brain and nervous system
Slowed growth and development
Learning and behavior problems
Hearing and speech problems
Which can cause:
Lower IQ
Decreased ability to pay attention
Underperforming in school44

Salt Lake City has various programs through the Housing and Neighborhood Development Division and local
nonprofits, such as ASSIST and Community Development Corporation of Utah, to remediate lead hazards in
residential units. Additionally, the Lead Safe Housing program created by Salt Lake County provides free
inspections, dust sampling analysis, blood testing for children under six, window replacement, paint removal on
doorjambs and floors, and specialized cleaning.45 The program is aimed at assisting low - or moderate-income
households in providing lead-safe homes.

DESCRIBE THE RESTORATION AND REVITALIZAT ION NEEDS OF PUBLIC HOUSING UNITS IN
THE JURISDICTION:
All housing authority units are maintained in excellent condition. The Housing Authority of Salt Lake City and
Housing Conn ect both conduct and complete an annual property needs assessment in order to maintain the
properties in a decent and safe manner.
The Housing Authority has maintained its Public Housing properties in the past with the use of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) Capital Fund Grants. These grants are tied to Public Housing. The Housing Authority
of Salt Lake City has applied for a HUD program, Resident Assistance Demonstration (RAD), which is a voluntary
program, seeking to preserve public housing by providi ng housing agencies with access to more stable funding
to make needed improvements to properties.
113
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
The RAD program allows PHAs to manage a property using one of two types of HUD funding contracts that are
tied to a specific building and replace the operating subsidy and capital funds previously used. Housing Choice
project-based voucher (PBV) or Housing Choice project -based rental assistance (PBRA). Both are 15-20 years
long and are more stable funding sources. This shift will make it easier for PHAs to bo rrow money and use low-
income housing tax credits (LIHTCs) as well as other forms of financing. These private sources of additional
money will enable the Housing Authority to make improvements essential for preserving the Public Housing
stock. This funding change does not change the amount of rent paid by residents or the clientele served.
HASLC has also developed a 30-year replacement and improvement plan and each property has a schedule for
improvements that is broken down to one- and five-year plans.
DESCRIBE THE PUBLIC HOUSING AGENCY’S STRATEGY FOR IMPROVING T HE LIVING
ENVIRONMENT OF LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME FAMILIES RESIDING IN PUBLIC HOUSING:
The following are examples of strategies that have been implemented to improve living conditions at City
housing complexes: a strengthened application screening process; strict lease enforcement; off -duty Salt Lake
City Police Officer conducting security patrols on their properties; improved exterior lighting; added accessibility
for those aging in place; implementation of a preventative maintenance program; and upgrades and
renovations to properties when possible, as needed.

Salt Lake City’s housing and supportive service network addresses the needs of the elderly, persons with

Even with the multitude of diverse services available in Salt Lake City, there are still gaps in services. For
example, substance addiction treatment centers that serve homeless and low -income individuals, including First
Step House, St. Mary’s Center for Recovery, and The Haven, have considerable waiting lis ts. Similarly, programs
that provide physical healthcare, rental assistance, homelessness prevention, employment services, and life skills
training do not have enough funding to meet demand.
DESCRIBE PROGRAMS FOR ENSURING THAT PERSONS RETURNING FROM MENTAL AND
PHYSICAL HEALTH INST ITUTIONS RECEIVE APPROPRIATE SUPPORTIVE HOUSING.
Programs that provide supportive housing opportunities for persons dealing with mental and physical health
recovery are available in Salt Lake City. However, supportive housing oppo rtunities for these populations are in
high demand with limited resources available.
The Valley Behavioral Health’s Safe Haven program provides homeless individuals with severe mental illness
housing and personalized assistance programs. It also provides comprehensive mental health support and
treatment for temporary and lifelong issues caused by traumatic life events. The program offers treatments for
psychiatric conditions, behavioral issues, autism, addiction, and other health conditions.
In addition, Salt Lake City partners with the local housing authorities, Utah Community Action Program, the Salt
Lake Continuum of Care, local homeless resource centers, Salt Lake County and the State of Utah to determine
the housing and supportive services need of non -homeless population who require these services.

MA-40 BARRIERS TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING – 91.210(e)
Various market barriers can limit the preservation, improvement, and development of housing, especially in
regard to affordable housing for low and moderate-income residents. Both market and regulatory factors affect
the ability to meet current and future housing needs. Barriers have been identified by previous task force
groups organized by Salt Lake City’s Housing and Neighborhood Development Division, as well as through
extensive interviews with local brokers, developers, housing representatives, planners, etc.
Identified barriers to the preservation, improvement and development of h ousing of affordable to low and
moderate-income households include the following:
Economic Conditions
While incomes have increased significantly in the Salt Lake Valley since 2010, they have not kept pace
with increases in construction costs and housing v alues. Consequently, the gap between incomes and
housing has increased.
Select neighborhoods in Salt Lake City spend significantly more on transportation costs than others.
This results in less income available for housing .
Land Regulations and Permitting Process
Salt Lake City’s Zoning Ordinance (similar to other cities) contains regulations that establish standards
for residential development including minimum lot size, density, unit size, height, setback, and parking
standards. Some of these regulation s can inhibit the ability for affordable housing development
feasibility (i.e., profitability), including the following:
o Density limitations
o Lack of multifamily zoning
o Stringent parking requirements (reducing cost feasibility)
The process to waive/reduce i mpact fees for affordable housing is reportedly difficult to navigate for
some developers.
Permitting and environmental review processes are often time consuming and reduce possible profits
for developers, thereby discouraging development and/or encouragin g development of higher-margin
product (i.e., market-rate units).
Land Costs
High land costs in certain areas do not allow for adequate profit in the development of lower -income
housing product, particularly in desirable neighborhoods that have experience d growth and new
construction over the past decade. Most affordable land is located on the west side of Salt Lake City,
furthering the concentration of affordable housing in select areas, and inhibiting the dispersal of
housing options throughout the City.
Land costs restrict the ability to place affordable housing in closer proximity to necessary services,
particularly near transit options and employment centers. Consequently, new housing often is
constructed in areas that result in high percentages of inc ome being spent towards transportation.
Ultimately, these developments further exacerbate traffic issues.
Construction Costs
Construction costs, particularly labor costs, have experienced notable fluctuations in the recent past.
This has caused upward pressure on rent and limited what type of product developers are able to
provide. Consequently, the profit margin in providing affordable housing is typically limited, or
altogether non-existent without the presence of incentives and tax credits.
Rehabilitation of existing product has increased in cost due to overall labor shortages. Furthermore, the
gained value of improvements is often not more than the costs of construction, resulting in limited or
119
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
no profit for undertaking such renovation. This limits the desire to undertake such endeavors unless
incentives can be provided.
Development and Rehabilitation Financing
Affordable housing projects with complex layered finance structures can experience increased land
holding costs because of additional due diligence and longer timelines. This is partially alleviated with
City incentive programs that reduce some financing pressures.
There is strong competition for local funding tools, such as the State of Utah’s Olene Walker Housing
Loan Fund.
Neighborhood Market Conditions
Negative public perception and community opposition (“NIMBYism”) can limit affordable housing
development when a zoning approval process is required .
Some neighborhoods that have access to transit options do not have the appeal for large -scale
housing developments, due primarily to low -quality surrounding improvements, higher crime rates,
and limited employment diversity .
For a discussion on current and proposed efforts to reduce or barriers to affordable housing, please see section
SP -55 Barriers to Affordable Housing in this Plan .

INTRODUCTION
Salt Lake City is on the pathway to becoming one of the most diverse, sustainable, and innovative economies in
the nation. The City links together unsurpassed outdoor recreation opportunities; internationally acclaimed
technology and research facilities; competitive higher education institutions; industry -leading healthcare
facilities; a light rail and streetcar transit system; an international a irport; and cultural opportunities. Strong
economic activity is enhanced by culturally rich neighborhoods that intermix diverse housing opportunities with
locally owned businesses.
Although Salt Lake City’s economy is strong, economic inequality is escala ting within the community. Between
2000 and 2017, homeowner incomes increased by 52.7% while renter incomes only increased by 40.9%. The
individual poverty rate increased between 2000 and 2017 rising from 13.7% to 17.8%. There are high social and
economic costs for increasing economic inequality and allowing families to remain in poverty.

DESCRIBE THE WORKFORCE AND INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS OF THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY:
Salt Lake City has been known as the “Crossroads of the West” for over 150 years. The term originated when the
Transcontinental Railroad was completed in 1869 at Promontory, Utah and is still true as the Salt Lake
International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the western United States. It facilitated over 330,000 flights
in 2018. These flights connect cargo, passengers, and international business opportunities to the area and these
factors have played a large role in many businesses choosing to use Salt Lake City as their corporate
headquarters. Two major interstates – I-15 and I-80 – intersect in Salt Lake City, thus providing significant
distribution accessibility and economic opportunity. The newly -designated Inland Port, located in the northwest
quadrant of Salt Lake City, will provide further opportunities for industry and job growth. Due to rapid growth ,
the City needs better east-west connections between residential development and employment centers.

Salt Lake City International Airport Expansion
The expansion of the Salt Lake City International Airport is expected to be completely finished by 2025, but it is
anticipated that the first phase will open in September of 2020. The expansion focuses on utilizing new and
sustainable practices that will increase space, comfort, and convenience for passengers. This includes a
complete technological and artistic redesign of the current airport which will allow Utah’s natural outdoor
beauty to be displayed to millions of airport visitors each year. A recent economic impact analysis conducted by
GSBS Consulting projected that the rebuild will inject $5.5 billion into the local economy and create more than
3,300 jobs.46 Between July 2018 and June 2019, the Salt Lake City International Airport served over 26.2 million
passengers and had 341,152 Total Aircraft Ops.47 The airport ranks as the 23rd busiest airport in North America
and the 85th busiest in the world with over 340 flights departing daily. It is located about 15 minutes from
downtown Salt Lake City and is serviced by a direct light rail line to the downtown area including the Salt Palace
Convention Center. The proximity of these create opportunities for training and workforce housing.
Inland Port Authority
The Inland Port, located in the northwest quadrant of Salt Lake City, covers approximately 16,000 acres, sits at
the intersection of two interstate freeways, major national railways and an international airport. This puts the
area in high demand for expanding warehouse, distribution and manufacturing facilities. The Inland Port
Authority was created to engage with interested organizations and individuals to establish a strategic plan to
maximize the economic benefits of the Inland Port.
Due to these and other large-scale projects and an overwhelming need for more skilled workforce, Salt Lake
City Community College created a brand new, cutting edge campus that focuses primarily on building our
skilled labor workforce. This effort and many more will work to help support large scale projects as our
community evolves.
HOW DO THE SKILLS AND EDUCATION OF THE CURRENT WORKFORCE CORRESPOND TO
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN THE JURISDICTION?
The percentage of residents with at least some higher education is higher than the national average with over
71% of residents reporting they’ve received some college education. The national average is 60%. As
demonstrated in Table MA-45.8, Salt Lake City also has a much higher percentage of residents with bachelor’s
degrees and graduate degrees than the rest of the nation.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates quarterly underemployment through alternative measures of labor
utilization. The measure used for underemployment is U -6 which not only measures unemployment, but also
includes those who are willing to work and have recently looked for work, as well as those working part -time
but who want to work full-time. This means this categorization includes current employees who feel
underutilized in their current employment. The national U -6 rate between the fourth quarter of 2018 and the
third quarter of 2019 was 7.3. In Utah, this rate was 5.5%.48

CONSOLIDATED PLAN.
The 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan emphasizes providing opportunities to help build healthy neighborhoods.
This can be supported by efforts and organization with job training initiatives. Salt Lake City already has several
community programs that provide job training. These organizations typically assist clients in learning how to
search for jobs, write resumes, and interview in addition to key life skills that are necessary to be successful in
the w orkplace. By highlighting these initiatives in the Consolidated Plan, the City can assist these programs in
increasing their capacity to provide services.
Many of these programs focus on assisting vulnerable populations and a few are listed below:
Advantage Services (non-profit that employs homeless people with disabilities)
Refugee and Immigration Center - Asian Association of Utah (refugees and immigrants)
The Columbus Foundation (individuals with disabilities)
English Skills Learning Center (teaching English as a 2nd language)
Odyssey House (alcohol and drug rehabilitation)
First Step House (substance use disorders and mental health)

PLANS OR INITIATIVES THAT IMPACT ECONOMIC GROWTH.
Salt Lake City does not currently have a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy; however, the City
does have a variety of local plans and initiatives that impact economic growth. In addition to the job training
initiatives listed above, here are a few of the City’s plans and projects designed to stimulate economic
development:
Economic Development Loan Fund
The Economic Development Loan Fund (EDLF) is designed to stimulate business development and expansion,
create employment opportunities, encourage private investment, promote economic development, and
enhance neighborhood vitality and commercial enterprise in Salt Lake City by making loans available to
businesses that meet City objectives. Loans are available for:
Startup and existing businesses
Revenue producing non -profit ventures
A business expanding or relocating to Salt Lake City
Energy-efficient (e2) equipment upgrades and building retrofits
Businesses impacted by construction
Construction/tenant improvement and/or real estate acquisition
Signage, retail presentation, and display work
Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and inventory
Working capital and marketing
The EDLF fills a gap in economic development by lending to high -tech and manufacturing businesses that
would not otherwise be eligible for a traditional bank loan yet have strong potential for growth. Loans are
considered a bridge loan and not meant to be long -term financing.
Salt Lake City Emergency Loan Program
During the recent COVID-19 crisis, Salt Lake City launched an Emergency Loan Program to assist business with
funding to support them through a short -term community crisis. This Program is designed as a bridge to
ensure that business can stay afloat including making rent/mortgage payments, keep staff employed, cover
utility and ongoing costs during a time of crisis and significantly decreased revenues. While it is not anticipated
that this program will continue in this exact form throughout the entire Consolidated Plan, it is important to
note that the City has the ability to react quickly and provide additional resources when necessary.
Master Plans
Salt Lake City’s Master Plans provide an outline of community and economic development goals for specific
areas of the City. Planning efforts since 2010 include the planning documen ts:

Redevelopment Agency Programs
The Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City (RDA) works to revitalize Salt La ke City’s neighborhoods and
business districts to improve livability, spark economic growth, and foster authentic communities, serving as a
catalyst for strategic development projects that enhance the City’s housing opportunities, commercial vitality,
and public spaces. The RDA accomplishes this through the following tools:
Property acquisition, clearance, re-planning, sale, and redevelopment
Planning, financing, and development of public improvements
Providing management support and tax increment reimburs ement for projects that will revitalize
underutilized areas
Gap financing in the form of loans, grants, and equity participation to encourage private investment
Relocation assistance and business retention assistance to businesses.
Improved redevelopment areas contribute to the overall health and vitality of the City by reversing the negative
effects of blight, while increasing the tax base from which taxing entities draw their funds. In Salt Lake City,
Redevelopment Project Areas’ tax bases have historic ally grown at twice the rate of surrounding areas that are
not designated as RDA project areas.
National Development Corporation
Since 1969, the NDC has carried out its mission to create jobs and promote community development
opportunities in economically-disadvantaged neighborhoods. NDC raises equity through its Corporate Equity
Fund and invests in affordable housing. NDC also creates jobs in underserved areas through its New Markets
Tax Credit Program and through its Small Business Lending Program, NDC Grow America Fund. The City uses
the expertise and knowledge of NDC to continue to develop, finance, and market community development and
affordable housing.
Façade Grant Program
The Housing and Neighborhood Development Division utilizes federal funding t o support local businesses by
offering up to $25,000 in grants to improve their façades. These improvements could include items such as
door upgrades, window improvements, paint or stucco updating, installing of garages, security lighting,
fascia/soffit work, etc. Increasing the street appeal of small businesses located within the City positively affects
the surrounding neighborhoods through increasing the visual appeal of neighboring commercial areas and
boosting the economy on a local level.
City Transportation Plans
In 2020, the City will update its Transportation Plan which was prepared in 1996. As the Plan unfolds, efforts will
continue to be made to coordinate and leverage resources in low -income neighborhoods. At the current time,
the City’s Transit Master Plan (2017) and the Pedestrian/Bike Master Plan (2015) are the most recent and
relevant.
127
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
The City is currently committing $5.3m to improved bus service, $1.1m for capital investments related to bus
service (bus stops, transit hubs, first/last mile improvements such as sidewalks and bike lanes), and $800,000 for
a pilot on-demand ride hailing service. This provides an opportunity to leverage CDBG funds in disadvantaged
neighborhoods to improve access to transportation and facilitate multimodal trans portation options. At the
time the Transit Master Plan was completed, 83% of bus stops did not have shelters or benches, effectively
discouraging potential riders. The study further found that access to transit in Salt Lake City is challenging
because of the large blocks and wide streets, as well as lack of ADA improvements and access to stations.
Finally, the Transit Master Plan found that the “cost of transit is particularly burdensome on large families,
youth, and transit-dependent populations – low -income, older adults, persons with disabilities, and zero car
households.”49
The City’s anticipates spending $1-2m per year in capital improvement projects such as traffic signal upgrades,
safety projects, and bike/pedestrian enhancements. Again, there is th e opportunity to provide better access to
transportation and leverage funds from several sources.
New Market Tax Credits (NMTC)
Capital is attracted to eligible communities (where the poverty rate is at least 20% or where the median family
income does not exceed 80% of the area’s median income) by providing private investors with a credit on their
federal taxes for investments in qualifying areas. NMTC investors receive a tax credit equal to 39% of the
Qualified Equity Investment (QEI) made in a Community Development Entity (CDE) over a 7-year period.
MA-50 NEEDS AND MARKET ANALYSIS DISCUSSION
ARE THERE AREAS WHERE HOUSEHOLDS WITH MULTIPLE HOUSING PROBL EMS ARE
CONCENTRATED?
Salt Lake City has neighborhoods that are more likely to have housing units with m ultiple housing problems.
These neighborhoods generally contain an older housing stock occupied by low -income households. Many of
these neighborhoods are located in the Central City, Ballpark, Rose Park, Fairpark, Poplar Grove, and Glendale.
ARE THERE ANY AREAS IN THE JURISDICTION WHERE RACIAL OR ETHNIC MINORITIES OR
LOW-INCOME FAMILIES ARE CONCENTRATED?
In the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan there were three racially/ethnically concentrated areas of poverty
(RCAP/ECAP) in Salt Lake County, two of which were in Salt Lake City. The number of racially/ethnically
concentrated areas of poverty in the County has dropped to only one, and this area is located just south of the
City’s boundaries. An RCAP/ECAP is defined as a census tract with a family poverty rate gre ater than or equal to
40%, or a family poverty rate greater than or equal to 300% of the metro tract average, and a majority non -
white population, measured at greater than 50%.
The absence of RCAP/ECAPs does not mean that there aren’t areas where there i s a substantial concentration of
minorities with reportedly low incomes. Most census block groups to the west of I -15 reported a population
composed of more than 50% minorities. These block groups also report some of the lowest incomes in the City
as well. Most of these areas are located in the Glendale and Poplar Grove neighborhoods.

128
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
WHAT ARE THE CHARACT ERISTICS OF THE MARKET IN THESE AREAS/NE IGHBORHOODS?
The City has been experiencing increasing housing costs and wages have failed to increase at the sam e rate
which can influence the ability for income mobility. Salt Lake City is focusing efforts to mitigate the negative
externalities of poverty by increasing economic opportunities, improving neighborhood infrastructure,
expanding services in distressed n eighborhoods, improving the housing stock, and increasing access to public
transit and multi-modal transportation options. The City is also making steps to incentivize affordable housing
development in opportunity areas in order to expand housing choices t hrough the City.
In general, median sales prices and rents are significantly lower in areas of concentrated poverty than in the rest
of the C ity. Households located in neighborhoods on the west side of I-15, such as Poplar Grove and Glendale
have higher homeownership rates than the C ity average. The Ballpark and Central City neighborhoods have a
much higher rental rate than the City average. Other housing market and demographic data points can be
found in Table MA-50.1.

These 10 Census tracts identified above as having some of the highest poverty levels in the City are generally
located within RDA project areas.
ARE THERE ANY COMMUNITY ASSETS IN THESE AREAS/NEIGHBORHOODS?
Education
Numerous schools are located in the target area, including the Dual Immersion Academy, the City
Academy and Salt Lake Arts Academy. The Pete Suazo Business Center is also located in the area.
Health Services
129
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
There are 23 clinical services/programs offered in Glendale/Poplar Grove, provided by a host of clinics
including Donated Dental, Friends for Sight, Concentra Urgent Care, the University of Utah Clinic, First
Med and the Glendale/Mountain View Community Learning Center, among others.
Eight programs providing health education were found in the neighborhood. These programs
are offered through Communidades Unidas, Sunday Anderson Senior Center, Mexican Consulate,
Glendale Senior Housing, and the B oys and Girls Club. A total of six mental health services were
identified in West Salt Lake. Four of the six programs are family and school -based mental health
counseling offered through Valley Behavioral Health.
Cultural Arts
The Sorenson Unity Center has a theatre and hosts performances within the community. The Utah
Cultural Celebration Center has three different opportunities for youth specifically to enjoy ethnic
performances as well as Shakespeare performances. Both venues also have art galleries tha t are open
to the public.
Community Centers and Gardens
The Hartland Partnership Center is located in the Glendale Neighborhood. This center offers resources
such as English language instruction, mental health support, citizenship classes, and employment
workshops.
There are several community gardens in the target area. These gardens provide an opportunity for
community interaction and allow for households to grow their own produce. Of special note are the
International Peace Gardens which presents gardens and festivals from around the world, as well as a
Farmer’s Market and Seed Swap event.
Parks, Recreation and Open Space
One of West Salt Lake’s greatest assets is the abundance of parks and open space. Of Glendale and
Poplar Grove residents, 83% live within a quarter mile of some form of green space. This is the highest
percentage in the City. There are 14 parks, including the notable International Peace Garden, located in
these neighborhoods and comprising over 100 acres. All green spaces are managed b y Salt Lake City
Parks and Public Lands.
The Jordan River Parkway offers outdoor boating opportunities.
The Jordan River Parkway and 9 Line trails provide recreational opportunities and connectivity to
natural environments. They also provide additional c ommunity connectivity and transportation options.
Fitness
The Glendale/Poplar Grove neighborhoods, located within the target area, offer 77 total health and
fitness programs. The largest facility is the Sorenson Multicultural Center which offers a wide va riety of
youth programs including aquatics. Two fitness centers are targeted for seniors – the Sunday Andersen
Senior Center and the Westside Center.
Public Transit
The TRAX light rail line runs through the Ballpark and Poplar Grove neighborhoods. The li ght rail also
runs within one block of the Central City neighborhood. These transit lines connect these
neighborhoods to the rest of the Salt Lake Valley and allow for greater employment opportunities.
Redevelopment Project Areas
130
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
Redevelopment project areas cover the entire target area. This means that incremental tax revenues
can be used to improve their respective project areas through a wide variety of projects including but
not limited to infrastructure improvements (water, sewer, transportation, etc.), beautification, economic
development incentives, façade renovation, grant funds, parks development, signage and wayfinding,
etc. Specific objectives identified by the RDA for uses of funds within its existing project areas include:
o Emphasize transit and connections to multi-modal transportation means
o Create high-quality pedestrian environments
o Promote infill development
o Support high quality, diverse and affordable housing
o Support public art in public places
o Encourage innovative sustainability practices a nd limit carbon emissions
o Promote transit-oriented development at key sites located at TRAX stations
o Foster growth of small and new businesses
o Participate in streetscape enhancements
Opportunity Zones
As shown in the map below, a large percentage of the t arget area is also located in an opportunity
zone. Opportunity zones were established under the Investing in Opportunity Act as a way to revitalize
economically-distressed communities using private investment. Tax benefits to investors include the
deferral and reduction of tax gains, thereby making these zones more attractive to investors and
increasing the potential of leveraging private funds with public investment.

91.310(a)(2)
DESCRIBE THE NEED FO R BRAODBAND WIRING AND CONNECTIONS FOR HOUSHOLDS,
INCLUDING LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS AND NEIGHBORHOODS.
A dependable broadband network provides many benefits. These networks attract businesses, provide social
connections, increase educational opportunities, and improve the quality of life for citizens. According to
Broadbandnow.com/Utah, 11.6% of Utah residents are underserved by broadband service providers. However,
most of these underserved communities are in rural areas of the state and only 0.6% Salt Lake County is
reportedly underserved.
While service is provided to most households in Salt Lake County, that do esn’t mean all households can afford
access to the internet. The 2018 ACS 5-year Estimate reported that there were 9,249 households in Salt Lake
City without an internet connection. This represents almost 12% of the City’s households. A household which
doesn’t have access to internet services through a broadband connection is at a significant disadvantage
economically when seeking new employment and educationally if children or adults in the household are
attending school. If these households are also low - or moderate-income households then a lack of internet
connection could prove to be one of the largest barriers to economic growth for the household.

BROADBAND INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER SERVE THE JURISDICTION.
Competition is a basic economic principal that states that when there are multiple providers of a service then
the prices of that service will be lower as the providers attempt to gain more market share through a more
favorable price offered to the consumer. By providing more options, if a consumer feels they are being charged
too much for a service then the consumer can look to an alternative provider. This movement in the market
encourages providers to produce services at a competiti ve rate and protects consumers from unfair prices.
MA-65 HAZARD MITIGATION – 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(2)
DESCRIBE THE JURISDICTION’S INCREASED NATURAL HAZARD RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH
CLIMATE CHANGE.
According to the Salt Lake County Multi-Jurisdictional Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan the main natural hazards
identified and investigated for Salt Lake County include:
Earthquake
Flood
Wildland Fire
Slope Failure
Severe Weather
Dam Failure
Avalanche
Pandemic
Drought
Infestation
Radon
Problem Soils
Of these natural hazards, Salt Lake County identified Salt Lake City as being high risk for only earthquakes,
floods, and wildfires while being at moderate risk for severe weather.
DESCRIBE THE VULNERABILITY TO THESE RISKS OF HOUSING OCCUPIED BY LOW- AND
MODERATE-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS BASED ON AN ANALYSIS OF DATA, FINDINGS, AND
METHODS.
Many low- and moderate-income households would suffer a greater financial impact from these risks than
other households as repairs from earthquake, severe weather, flooding, or wildfires could cause serious financial
stress. This negative effect could be compounded if these households could not afford additional insurance
coverage.
The Salt Lake County Multi -Jurisdictional Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies areas west of I-15 as a
potential flood risk due to the Jordan River. In the plan, the area directly surrounding the Jordan River State
Parkway is listed as a low - to moderate-risk with flood risk increasing at nearer proximity to the river. There is
also low-risk of flooding on the west side of the Rose Park neighborhood. These two flood areas are significant
because they are areas with low - and moderate-income households.

STRATEGIC PLAN
The Strategic Plan identifies Salt Lake City’s priority needs and describes strategies that the City will undertake
to serve priority needs over a five-year period. The plan focuses on building Neighborhoods of Opportunity to
promote capacity in low -income neighborhoods and to support the City’s most vulnerable populations.
134
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
SP-05 OVERVIEW
The 2020-2024 Strategic Plan is based on an assessment of community needs as identified in this Consolidated
Plan, in City planning documents, and on the ability of federal funds to meet the identified needs. Within this
context, the 2020-2024 Strategic Plan focuses on building Neighborhoods of Opportunity to promote capacity
in low -income neighborhoods and to support the City’s most vulnerable populations. The five -year plan
provides a strategy for maximizing and leveraging the City’s block grant allocations with other funding sources,
including the City’s Redevelopment Agency, to build healthy and sustainable communities that connect and
expand opportunities for housing, education, transportation, behavioral health services and economic
development. Strategic plan goals call for Consolidated Plan funds to focus on the following:
Housing
To provide expanded housing options for all economic and demographic segments of Salt Lake City’s
population while diversifying the housing stock within neighborhoods.
Support housing programs that address the needs of aging housing stock through targeting
rehabilitation efforts and diversifying the housing stock within neighborhoods
Expand housing support for aging residents that ensure acce ss to continued stable housing
Support affordable housing development that increases the number and types of units available for
income eligible residents
Support programs that provide access to home ownership via down payment assistance, and/or
housing subsidy, and/or financing
Support rent assistance programs to emphasize stable housing as a primary strategy to prevent and
end homelessness
Support programs that provide connection to permanent housing upon exiting behavioral health
programs. Support may include, but is not limited to supporting obtaining housing via deposit and
rent assistance and barrier elimination to the extent allowable to regulation
Provide housing and essential services for persons with HIV/AIDS
Transportation
To promote accessibility and affordability of multimodal transportation options.
Improve bus stop amenities as a way to encourage the accessibility of public transit and enhance the
experience of public transit in target areas
Support access to transportation prioritizing very low-income and vulnerable populations
Expand and support the installation of bike racks, stations, and amenities as a way to encourage use of
alternative modes of transportation in target areas
Build Community Resiliency
Build resiliency by providing tools to increase economic and/or housing stability.
Provide job training/vocational training programs targeting low -income and vulnerable populations
including, but not limited to; chronically homeless; those exiting treatment centers/programs and/or
institutions; and persons with disabilities

The City intends to leverage all potential funding resources to achieve its goals, recognizing the need to
maximize participation from a variety of resources. The City has also established specific measurement criteria
by which to measure its progress in meeting its goals.
SP-10: GEOGRAPHIC PRIORITIES 91.215(a)(1)
GEOGRAPHIC AREAS
For the 2020-2024 program years, Salt Lake City has designated one local CDBG target area to concentrate and
leverage funding to stimulate comprehensive neighborhood revitalization that expands housing opportunities,
economic opportunities and neighborhood livability. Our selected target area corresponds with the City’s
existing RDA project areas. If the RDA project areas change, the target area will adjust to continue to
correspond to the RDA project areas. Throughout the durati on of this Plan, the CDBG target area will represent
any RDA project area. The combined RDA project areas were chosen as the target area for the following
reasons:
The RDA areas generally overlap the lower-income areas of the City and areas that scored lo wer on the
Opportunity Index. The Opportunity Index measures 16 factors including education, health,
environment, social, and economic that indicate the relative opportunity in various geographic
locations.
Tax increment funds are already being generated i n RDA areas. While some funds are currently
committed, there is the potential for additional tax increment revenues as new development occurs in
these areas. These funds can then be spent within their respective RDA areas for a wide variety of
purposes, including housing, beautification, revolving loan funds, public infrastructure, etc.
Most of the RDA areas were established with a required, designated set -aside (usually 10-20%) for
housing. This provides an opportunity to leverage other funds with RDA fund ing.
Some of the redevelopment areas also included a finding of blight which indicates rundown
conditions, with poor visual appearance. This is a deterrent to economic development and funding is
needed to mitigate these conditions.
136
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
The RDA areas overlap with designated Opportunity Zones and by design will see an increase in private
market investments.

The neighborhood poverty rate as determined by the ACS
information within Census Block Groups within the area
ranges from 4 to 38%. The block groups average a poverty

The average household size is 3.02, compared to 2.47
citywide.
36% of the area’s residents identify as Hispanic, compared
to 22.3% of Salt Lake City.
How did your consultation and citizen
participation process help you to identify
this neighborhood as a target area?
Our Citizen Participation Plan included an online survey
and public outreach with over 4,000 responses.
Neighborhoods in the RDA areas consistently ranked high
in the survey results. As such, Council prioritized the RDA
areas in the most vulnerable sections of the City, resulting
in the current West Side Target Area.
Identify the needs in this target area. Many of the existing housing units are old and rundown.
Therefore, rehabilitation of existing housing stock is key for
this area. Poverty levels are higher in this area than in other
areas of the City. A reduction in poverty levels could be
accomplished through the encouragement of mixed -
income housing. Improving streetscapes and the visual
appearance of the area could also attract more mixed -
income development.
There is a lack of bus and rail lines in large portions of the
target area resulting in higher transportation costs for
much of the target area.
What are the opportunities for
improvement in this target area?
Opportunities exist to enhance business districts and
neighborhood nodes to promote economic development,
job creation, and overall community revitalization. Several
arterials cross through the target area with high traffic
counts suitable for economic development that could bring
jobs to these lower-income areas. Housing rehabilitation
and the development of strategic mixed-income housing
will promote housing stability and economic diversity
within the target area.
Are there barriers to improvement in this
target area?
Many residents do not speak English as their first language.
High renter levels often make for a more transitory
population with less investment in the community.
GENERAL ALLOCATION P RIORITIES
Locally-defined target areas provide an opportunity to maximize impact and align HUD funding with existing
investment while simultaneously addressing neighborhoods with the most severe needs. According to HUD
standards, a Local Target Area is designated to allow for a locally targeted approach to the investment of CDBG
and other federal funds.
The target area for the 2020-2024 program years has been identified in Figure SP-10.1. CDBG and other
federal funding will be concentrated (not limited) to the target area. Neighborhood and community nodes will
be identified and targeted to maximize community impact and driv e further neighborhood investment. On an
138
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
annual basis, internal city divisions/departments including the Redevelopment Agency, Salt Lake City
Transportation, and Economic Development will strategize if specific areas of the CDBG target area are in need
of additional focus/resources as it relates to CDBG eligible projects. This type of flexibility will ensure that the
focus within the target area can move around as per the needs of the community. Activities will be coordinated
and leveraged, and can include an increase of marketing and outreach for housing programs, transportation
improvements, and commercial façade improvements.
FIGURE SP-10.2
TARGET AREA AND SLC NEIGHBORHOODS
Source: Salt Lake City Redevelopment Agency Target Areas
The Target Area was identified through an extensive process that analyzed local poverty rates, low - and
moderate-income rates, neighborhood conditions, citizen input, and available resources.
A recent fair housing equity assessment (May 2018) completed by the Kem C. Gardne r Policy Institute at the
University of Utah states that there is a housing shortage in Utah, with the supply of new homes and existing
“for sale” homes falling short of demand. While the impact of higher housing prices is widespread, affecting
buyers, sellers, and renters in all income groups, the report concludes that those households below the median
income, and particularly low -income households, are disproportionately hurt by higher housing prices. In fact,
households with incomes below the median have a 1 in 5 chance of a severe housing cost -burden, paying at
139
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
least 50% of their income toward housing, while households with incomes above the median have a 1 in 130
chance.50
Targeting area resources are necessary to expand opportunity for the West Side Ta rget Area as well as the
impacted RDA Project Areas. The following area ways that investments will be realized:
Concentrating resources geographically will provide a way to help stabilize and improve distressed
areas in these neighborhoods.
Connectivity between the target area and other areas of the Salt Lake Valley will reduce transportation
costs and reduce financial burdens on households.
Neighborhood and/or community nodes will be targeted for commercial façade improvements, public
transit enhancements and amenities that support non -motorized modes of transit.
Economic development and transportation projects can be located throughout the target area.
Housing rehabilitation projects can be located throughout the City, with a focus on the target area.
Support to microenterprises and for-profit businesses can be offered to qualified business across the
City, however, additional focus and marketing efforts will occur within the target area.
In an effort to expand community engagement in the local target area, HAND will reach out to residents,
business owners, property owners, community councils, non -profit organizations, and other stakeholders to
gather input on housing and community development needs. City departments and divisions will collaborate to
leverage resources and efforts within the target area. HAND and the Department of Economic Development will
create an inventory of eligible commercial buildings to target for façade improvements and/or interior code
deficiencies and will engage property owners and entrepreneurs in outreach efforts.
RATIONAL E FOR THE PRIORITIES F OR ALLOCATING INVEST MENTS GEOGRAPHICALLY
Salt Lake City’s Housing and Neighborhood Development Division, along with internal and community
stakeholders, identified the target area through an extensive process that included data analysis, identification
of opportunities/barriers, a citizen survey, and an evaluation of potential resources. Through this process, the
RDA neighborhoods were identified as areas where a concentration of resource s would make significant
impacts within the community. This approach would also allow for ongoing leveraging of resources and efforts
in these areas.
Of particular importance is to direct resources to expand opportunity within areas where poverty levels a re
higher. According to HUD, neighborhoods of concentrated poverty isolate residents from the resources and
networks needed to reach their potential and deprive the larger community of the neighborhood’s human
capital. In another study, it was found that there were significant physical health improvements from reducing
concentrated areas of poverty.51
Opportunity zones are also located within the target area. This affords an opportunity to further leverage
private investment within these economically -distressed areas. Opportunity zones attract private capital
because of the ability to defer and reduce taxes associated with capital gains. The tax savings that can be
realized are significant. Only 46 geographic areas in Utah have been designated as opportunity zones by the
federal government, making these highly attractive sites. Further, other funding resources, such as low -income
housing tax credits (LIHTC) and tax increment can also be realized in these zones, making for extremely
competitive investment opportunities in areas that were previously overlooked.

Support anti-displacement strategies, prioritizing the target area
identified in the plan. This may include strategies such as
supporting Community Land Trust programming, historic
preservation and others.
Improve and expand the affordable housing stock including
lifecycle housing, including special needs housing, elderly, and
ADA accessible housing. As applicable, this should explore the
ability to place housing in high opportunity areas and/or within
walking distance of transit stations
Increase homeownership opportunities
Provide rent assistance to emphasize stable housing
Provide housing and essential supportive services for persons

Description Provide loans, grants, and other financial assistance for the acquisition,
preservation and development of affordable rental and homeownership
opportunities. Provide financial assistance to stabilize low -income renters
and homeowners. Explore and support strategies that ensure long-term
affordability. Evaluate the relationship of housing and transit as a way of
reducing overall housing costs.
Basis for Relative Priority According to the 2017 ACS data, 45.6% of Salt Lake City renter
households and 25.5% of households with a mortgage are cost-
burdened, spending over 30% of their monthly income on
housing costs. 22.3% of renter households spend over 50% of

their monthly income on housing.52 Families who are cost-
burdened have limited resources for food, childcare, healthcare,
transportation, education, and other basic needs.
The Housing Authority of Salt Lake City currently administers
Housing Choice (Section 8) vouchers for 3,000 households, with
5,188 households on the waiting list. Countywide there are 15,981
households on a Housing Choice waiting list. A family on the
waiting list can expect to wait 6 years before receiving a Housing
Choice voucher. Between 2000 and 2018, the cost of housing
increased significantly for both renters and homeowners. The
median contract rent increased by 81.8% and home values
increased 89.8%. During the same time period, the median
household income only increased by 52.6%. Since incomes did
not keep up with increases in housing costs, it has become more
difficult for residents to buy or rent a home. The homeownership
rate decreased from 56.9% in 2000 to 48.4% in 2018.

2020-2024
SP-30 INFLUENCES OF MARKET CONDITIONS 91.215 (a)(2)
Market Characteristics that will influence the use of funds available for housing type :
As the needs assessment and market analysis have demonstrated, just over 22,500 Salt Lake City households
are cost-burdened, spending 30% or more of their monthly income on housing (including utility costs) and are
in need of housing that is affordable. Of these households, just over 10,000 households are severely cost -
burdened, spending more than 50% of their monthly income on housing. These household s are at risk of
homelessness. Market conditions influencing the production, rehabilitation, and assistance of affordable
housing are as follows:
Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA)
Incomes are not keeping up with rising rental costs. The median income rose 52.6% between 2000 and 2018
while rent rates increased by 81.8% over the same time period. Based on CBRE’s Real Estate Market Outlook
2019, vacancy rates are low (4.0%) placing upward pressure on rents. Strong population growth is also
projected to continue, placing additional pressure on rents. Salt Lake County average monthly rents have
increased from an average of $1,087 per month in 2017 to $1,153 in 2018.
Market conditions have increased demand for Housing Choice vouchers, which currently have a gap of
approximately 6,177 units for low -income households.
Research also indicates that there is a lack of affordable units in close proximity to service providers to assist at -
risk populations with housing and other needs. In addition, there is a need f or additional partnerships between
affordable housing landlords, property, and social services organizations.
TBRA for Non-Homeless Special Needs
Low rental vacancy rates and incomes not keeping up with rising rental costs lead to increasing housing cost -
burden rates and very high demand for Housing Choice vouchers. There is a gap of approximately 10,000 units
for severely cost-burdened households. Funds are also needed for transitioning participants with HOPWA -
funded housing to other housing subsidies and affordable housing units in closer proximity to transportation
and essential services. There is a need for additional partnerships between affordable housing landlords,
property managers, and social service organizations.
New Unit Production
According to CBRE’s Real Estate Market Outlook 2019, “the market continues to expand at an above-average
rate, adding a record 7,467 units along the Wasatch Front during 2018 (a growth rate of 4.6%). Approximately
6,244 units were slated for 2019. As rental rates rise, the question of rental affordability is of top concern.
Renters coming from more expensive Tier 1 markets will continue to absorb many of these new units, and many
locals will not be accustomed to paying higher rates. Rental rates are pushing upward due to a variety of factors
including a construction industry stretched thin due to labor supply issues and rising costs. In addition to
increasing construction costs, land costs are also rising, thereby driving up rents even further.
This results in increasing cost-burden rates, very high demand for Housing Choice (Section 8) vouchers, and a
gap of approximately 10,000 units for severely cost -burdened households. There is a need for additional
partnerships between affordable housing developers/providers, prop erty managers and social service
organizations. Additional affordable units are needed in high -opportunity neighborhoods as well as units in
close proximity to transportation and essential services.
Rehabilitation
Lower interest rates have somewhat improv ed the cost of construction and home ownership. However, many
low-income households are still unable to qualify for loans for home ownership or home improvement
146
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
financing. The share of elderly homeowners is projected to increase as the median age increases in the Salt
Lake Valley. Salt Lake City has an older housing stock, with about 30.1% of units built prior to 1940. Older
housing stock located in concentrated areas of poverty and RDA project areas are at risk for deterioration.
Incomes are not keeping up with rising costs. Affordable units are at risk of being replaced with newer housing
stock or that with revitalization the rents will convert to market rate. Stabilization of existing housing in the
target area is imperative.
Acquisition, Including Preservation
According to CBRE’s Real Estate Market Outlook 2019, a robust market performance resulted in a historic $1.4
billion in multifamily sales across the Wasatch Front. Salt Lake City is increasingly viewed as a preferred, Tier 2
market. CAP rates have stayed low, suggesting confidence in the multifamily market outlook. The strong rental
market-rate rental market shows the increasing need to preserve affordable rentals, as converting substandard
rental housing to market-rate can be very desirable for property owners.
SP-35 ANTICIPATED RESOURCE S 91.215(a)(4), 91.220(c)(1,2)
INTRODUCTION
Salt Lake City’s funding year 2020-2024 CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA allocations are estimated to be a total
of $25,000,000 estimating an average of $5,000,000 per year. In addition, Salt Lake City anticipates receiving
program income of $7.5 million during the same time period, with an estimated average of $1.5 million of
program income available to spend each year. HUD allocations will be utilized to address the growing h ousing
and community development needs within Salt Lake City. However, funding has declined over the past decade,
making it more difficult to address needs and overcome barriers. Over the course of the 2020 -2024
Consolidated Plan, Salt Lake City will coord inate and leverage HUD allocations to assist the City’s most
vulnerable populations, increase self -sufficiency and address needs in the geographic target area.

EXPLAIN HOW FEDERAL FUNDS WILL LEVERAGE THOSE ADDITIO NAL RESOURCES (PRIVATE,
STATE, AND LOCAL FUNDS), INCLUDING A DESCRIPTION OF HOW MATCHING
REQUIREMENTS WILL BE SATISFIED:
Match Requirements
HUD, like many other federal agencies, encourages the recipients of federal monies to demonstrat e that efforts
are being made to strategically leverage additional funds in order to achieve greater results. Leverage is also a
way to increase project efficiencies and benefit from economies of scale that often come with combining
sources of funding for similar or expanded scopes.
HOME Investment Partnership Program – 25% Match Requirement Salt Lake City will ensure that
HOME match requirements are met by utilizing the leveraging capacity of its subrecipients. Funding
sources used to meet the HOME match requirements include federal, state, and local grants; private
contributions; private foundations; United Way; local financial institutions; City General Fund; and
unrestricted donations.
Emergency Solutions Grant – 100% Match Requirement Salt Lake City wi ll ensure that ESG match
requirements are met by utilizing the leveraging capacity of its subgrantees. Funding sources used to
meet the ESG match requirements include federal, state, and local grants; private contributions; private
foundations; United Way; Continuum of Care funding; City General Fund; in -kind match and
unrestricted donations.
Fund Leveraging
Leverage, in the context of the City’s four HUD programs, means bringing other local, state, and federal
financial resources in order to maximize the reach and impact of the City’s HUD Programs. Resources for
leverage include the following:
Housing Choice Section 8 Vouchers
150
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
The Housing Authority of Salt Lake City and Housing Connect currently administer Housing Choice
(Section 8) vouchers. The City projects the local housing authorities will receive approximately $173.6
million in funding during the plan period to support public housing units.
Low -Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC)
Created by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the LIHTC program gives State and local LIHTC -allocating
agencies the equivalent of nearly $8 billion in annual budget authority to issue tax credits for the
acquisition, rehabilitation, or new construction of rental housing target ed to lower-income households.
Federal 4% and 9% tax credits are a major funding source of capital for the construction and
rehabilitation of affordable rental homes. In 2019, the Agency allocated $10,900,317 in Federal and
State Housing Credits.53 At the c urrent funding level, approximately $55 million will be available for
low-income homebuyer programs to developers to build or renovate affordable apartment housing
products over the course of this Plan.
New Market Tax Credits
New Market Tax Credits are an additional tool utilized to attract private capital investment in areas in
need of job growth and economic development.
RDA Development Funding
The RDA has 12 project areas, nine of which are currently collecting tax increment. Tax increment funds
are required to be reinvested back into the same “project area” from which funds are generated and to
contribute to the overall health and vitality of the City. The purpose of an RDA is to reverse the
negative effects of blight, while increasing the tax base fro m which the taxing entities draw their funds.
The RDA generated $33,833,404 in tax increment receipts in 2018. The RDA generally uses a 2% annual
growth rate for existing project areas. State legislation governing RDAs require that 20% of tax
increment rec eipts is set aside for the creation or preservation of affordable housing. A portion of
those funds can be used in the CDBG Target Area. In addition, in 2019 the following two additional
project areas will commence generating tax increment for the RDA:
o Stadler Rail CRA: $180,750
o Northwest Quadrant: $18,873
Salt Lake City Housing Trust Fund (HTF)
Salt Lake City’s Housing Trust Fund strives to address the health, safety, and welfare of the City’s
citizens by providing assistance for affordable and special needs housing within the City. The Trust
Fund has a 2019 budget of $7,400,023.
Salt Lake City Economic Development Loan Fund (EDLF)
The City administers the Economic Development Loan Fund which makes loans to small businesses
located in the City for the purpose of stimulating economic development and commercial and
industrial diversity by enhancing business opportunities, providing employment and promoting
neighborhood revitalization. This fund currently has a cash balance of approximately $4.0m and loans
outstanding of $5.6m.
Salt Lake City General Fund
The City uses excess general funds for homeless services when such funds are available, and
opportunities present themselves. The City has allocated $2.5M of resources for homeless services in
fiscal year 2020.

Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
Olene Walker Housing Loan Fund
Utah State’s Olene Walker Housing Loan Fund is one of the largest affordable housing loan funding
tools for affordable housing developers working in Salt Lake City. The loan fund had about $14 million
available in fiscal year 2020.
Industrial & Commercial Bank Funding
Although it is not possible to estimate how much Community Reinvestment Act funding will be made
available locally, there are a large number of industrial and commercial banks that reside in Salt Lake
City and that have requirements to invest in low -income areas.
Continuum of Care Funding
The Salt Lake Valley Coalition to End Homelessness (Continuum of Care) provides approximately $7.8
million of annual funding for local homeless housing and service prog rams.
Foundations & Other Philanthropic Partners
Charitable establishments and philanthropic partners make up a critical part of the funding stream
used in the State of Utah. It is estimated that during the Consolidated Plan period, over $100m will be
used to support low - and moderate-income residents, with a considerable amount of the funding
being used in Salt Lake City.
IF APPROPRIATE, DESCRIBE PUBLICLY-OWNED LAND OR PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE
JURISDICTION THAT MAY BE USED TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS IDENTIF IED IN THE PLAN:
Salt Lake City intends to expand affordable housing and economic development opportunities through the
redevelopment of City -owned land, strategic land acquisitions, parcel assembly, and disposition. As per City
ordinance, Housing and Neighborhood Development Division will work collaboratively with other City divisions
that oversee or control parcels that are owned by the City to evaluate the appropriateness for affordable
housing opportunities.
DISCUSSION:
Salt Lake City will continue to seek other federal, state, and private funds to leverage entitlement grant funding.
The City has already shown its commitment to leveraging funding through the selection of the target area
which matches the current RDA areas. In addition, the City will sup port the proposed community development
initiatives outlined in this Plan through strategic initiatives, policies, and programs.

ASSESS STRENGTHS AND GAPS IN THE INSTITUT IONAL DELIVERY SYSTEM
Community needs are efficiently and eff ectively addressed through the knowledge, commitment, and resources
of a broad range of partners. By working closely with governmental partners and private organizations, Salt
Lake City is able to carry out an institutional delivery structure that emphasiz es collaboration and resource
leveraging.
Public services for Salt Lake City’s homeless and extremely low -income population are delivered through a
network of integrated public -private partnerships. Coordination meetings are regularly held to manage servi ce
delivery for individuals and families that have multiple and complex problems that require comprehensive
services form more than one organization. Coordination meetings are also utilized to streamline services and
prevent the duplication of efforts.
A significant institutional delivery barrier is that financial resources limit the amount of services provided in the
community. Many service providers have long wait lists. Salt Lake City is working with community partners to
prioritize and restructure serv ices to utilize funding resources more effectively.

Fourth Street Clinic, dba Wasatch Homeless Healthcare, is an AAAHC Patient Centered Medical Home that
provides coordinated medical, mental health, substance abuse, case management, dental, and pharmacy
services. It provides the primary medical services to the homeless community. Other organizations such as
Donated Dental provide complimentary services.
In 1985, the Utah Department of Health reported a total of 17 persons living with AIDS in Utah. At that time, the
state and most citizens were unprepared to address the HIV/AIDS issue. The need for public information and
for assistance for persons living with HIV/AIDS forced a community-based response, which ultimately became
the Utah AIDS Foundation (UAF). Today, a two -fold approach of direct client services and targeted prevention
education still comprises the basis for all UAF programming. UAF works with Clinic 1A to ensu re that those
diagnosed with HIV/AIDS are connected to medical case management, housing case management,
employment opportunities, and other services.
Valley Behavioral Health, formerly known as Valley Mental Health, provides services to all residents in Salt Lake
County (including those who are experiencing homelessness) that experience serious mental illnesses,
substance use disorders and behavioral problems. Valley Behavioral Health operates Safe Haven and Salt Lake
Valley Storefront. Located at 550 W 700 S Salt Lake City, Safe Haven is a permanent supportive housing
program for those that meet Valley Behavioral Health’s client criteria. Salt Lake Valley Storefront is a day center
at Safe Haven and is solely for those experiencing serious mental illnesse s.
The State of Utah’s Department of Workforce Services has an employment center co -located at the Weigand
Day Center. This offers those using services on Rio Grande or meals at St. Vincent DePaul’s Dining Hall, a
chance to connect with employment withou t traveling.

Founded in 1958, First Step House is a co -occurring capable, behavioral health treatment and housing provider.
First Step is a Joint Commission-accredited organization and is a consistent leader in the Salt Lake metro area
delivering evidence-based interventions and achieving positive outcomes for individuals, Veterans, and families
experiencing substance use disorders, homelessness, mental health conditions, justice system involvement, and
primary health concerns. First Step operates two resi dential treatment facilities, two outpatient treatment
centers, and six transitional housing facilities in Salt Lake County. The scope of services includes substance use
disorder, criminogenic, and mental health assessment and referral, residential and out patient treatment,
recovery residence services, transitional housing, case management, employment support, primary health care,
peer support services, and long-term recovery management.
Odyssey House of Utah focuses on addiction recovery services through both in-patient and out-patient
programs. Programs are available for both adults and teens.
Other programs serving our community include Volunteers of America Cornerstone, which provides substance
use treatment for low -income and homeless individuals. In addition, Volunteers of America has two detox
programs including Adult Detox and Center for Women and Children. Both serve low -income, homeless
individuals or families.
DESCRIBE THE STRENGT HS AND GAPS OF THE SERVICE DELIVERY SYST EM FOR SPECIAL
NEEDS POPUL ATION AND PERSONS EX PERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, THE SERV ICES LISTED ABOVE.
Homeless services organizations within the Salt Lake and Tooele Counties Continuum of Care work diligently to
coordinate services and place people in hou sing. Local organizations participate in HMIS, managed by the State
of Utah. Through HMIS, service providers are able to view other services their clients access and coordinate on a
client-by-client basis. The local CoC also uses the VI-SPDAT (Vulnerability Index – Service Prioritization Decision
Assistance Tool) form in the annual Point -in-Time count. By using the VI-SPDAT at first contact, the clients can
be connected to services quicker and receive help sooner. However, there are always improvements that can be
made in coordinating activities. Meetings with stakeholders revealed concerns that case management loads
were too large and that reductions were necessary for better coordination and provision of services. So, while
coordination occurs, there is of ten a high level of demand for services in comparison to the availability of
needed treatment and services.
PROVIDE A SUMMARY OF THE STRATEGY FOR OVE RCOMING GAPS IN THE INSTITUTIONAL
STRUCTURE AND SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM FO R CARRYING OUT A STRATEGY TO ADD RESS
PRIORITY NEEDS.
The Salt Lake and Tooele Counties Continuum of Care continues to implement coordinated access based on the
VI-SPADT form. Salt Lake County is leading efforts to coordinate services for the homeless with the end goal of
providing homeless services as seamlessly as possible.

SP-55: STRATEGIC PLAN BARRIERS TO AFFORDABLE
HOUSING 91.215(h)
As discussed in detail in section MA -40, the most critical public policy barriers (direct and indirect) to the
production and preservation of affordable housing include the following:
Economic Conditions
Housing costs have risen more quickly than incomes over the past 10 years
Transportation costs are significantly higher in some neighborhoods than others due to a disparity in
the availability of transit and distance from employment centers
Land Regulations and Permitting Process
Salt Lake City’s Zoning Ordinance (similar to other cities) contains regulations that establish standards
for residential development including minimum lot size, density, unit size, height, setback, and parking
standards. Some of these regulations can inhibit the ability for affordable housing development
feasibility (i.e., profitability), including the following:
o Density limitations
o Lack of multifamily zoning
o Stringent parking requirements (reducing cost feasibility)
The process to waive/reduce impact fees for affordable housing is reportedly difficult to navigate for
some developers
Permitting and environmental review processes are often time consuming and reduce possible profits
for developers, thereby discouraging development and/or encouraging development of higher-margin
product (i.e., market-rate units)
160
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
Land Costs
High land costs in certain areas do not allow for adequate profit in the development of lower -income
housing product, particularly in desirable neighborhoods that have experienced growth and new
construction over the past decade. Most affordable land is located on the west side of Salt Lake City,
furthering the concentration of affordable housing in select areas, and inhibiting the dispersal of
housing options throughou t the city
Land costs restrict the ability to place affordable housing in closer proximity to necessary services,
particularly near transit options and employment centers. Consequently, new housing often is
constructed in areas that result in high percentages of income being spent towards transportation.
Ultimately, these developments further increase traffic issues
Construction Costs
Construction costs, particularly labor costs, have experienced notable fluctuations in the recent past.
This has caused upw ard pressure on rents, and limited what type of product developers are able to
provide. Consequently, the profit margin in providing affordable housing is typically limited, or
altogether non-existent without the presence of incentives and tax credits
Rehabilitation of existing product has increased in cost due to overall labor shortages. Furthermore, the
gained value of improvements is often not more than the costs of construction, resulting in limited or
no profit for undertaking such renovation. This lim its the desire to undertake such endeavors unless
incentives can be provided
Development and Rehabilitation Financing
Affordable housing projects with complex layered finance structures can experience increased land
holding costs because of additional due diligence and longer timelines. This is partially alleviated with
City incentive programs that reduce some financing pressures
There is strong competition for local funding tools, such as the State of Utah’s Olene Walker Housing
Loan Fund
Neighborhood Ma rket Conditions
Negative public perception and community opposition (“NIMBYism”) can limit affordable housing
development when a zoning approval process is required
Some neighborhoods that have access to transit options do not have the appeal for large -scale
housing developments, due primarily to low -quality surrounding improvements, higher crime rates,
and limited employment diversity
The City’s recently completed Growing Salt Lake City: A Five -Year Housing Plan 2018-2022 provides the
following goals to remove barriers to affordable housing:
Goal 1: Reform City practices to promote a responsive, affordable, high -opportunity housing market
Includes reforming City practices, such as land use and zoning regulations, as well as impediments in
City processes
Goal 2: Increase housing opportunities for cost-burdened households
Prioritizes stabilizing very low -income renters, the development of more affordable units and increased
home ownership opportunities
Goal 3: Build a more equitable city
161
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
Eliminate incidences of housing discrimination and promote a diversity of housing throughout all areas
of the City
Other strategies employed by the City include the following:
Homeless Strategies
Coordinating with local service providers, municipalities, State of Utah, Continuum of Care, and others through
the Salt Lake Valley Coalition to End Homelessness in an effort to create a system by which resources, services,
data collection, and analysis results in coordination among all stakeholders.
Growing SLC: A Five-Year Plan
The City has formally adopted a new housing plan that will begin to address many of the barriers listed above
and catalyze partners in the city and region to focus on the current housing crisis. The plan provides an
assessment of citywide housing needs, with emphasis on the availability and affordability of housing, housing
needs for changing demographics, and neighborhood -specific needs. The updated plan will serve as a five -year
policy guide to address housing needs across the economic and demographi c spectrum of Salt Lake City’s
current and future residents.
Affordable Housing Initiative
The City is committed to providing a comprehensive housing initiative to address Salt Lake City’s lack of
housing options affordable to low -wage workers and moderate-income families, persons with disabilities and
those on fixed incomes. By utilizing the Salt Lake City Housing Trust Fund and other community resources, the
City will support the preservation, development, and rental assistance of housing units over the time period of
the Consolidated Plan. The initiative will target these forms of assistance to extremely low -income renter
households as well as expanding homeownership and housing opportunities for low - to middle-income
families and individuals.
Community Land Trust
Salt Lake City has launched a Community Land Trust (CLT) that will allow donated and trusted land to maintain
perpetual affordability while ensuring the structure on the land, the home, is purchased, owned, and sold over
time to income-qualifying households, just as any other home would be. This provision is intended to ensure a
fair return on investment for the homeowner if a sale occurs during the period of affordability. By holding the
land itself in the trust, the land effectively receives a write down each time the home is sold, insulating the
property for growing land costs but still allowing equity to be built by the homeowner.
Blue Ribbon Commission
This commission was tasked with identifying how the City can fund and produce 1,000 units of affordable
housing throughout Salt Lake City. This commission has since been sun -setted, but the efforts of creating
affordable housing through the mechanisms identified continue to move forward.
Welcome Home Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City initiated a new homeownership program, Welcome Home SLC, which is aimed at increasing
housing options for low - and moderate-income households. It will help stabilize communities, provide incentive
for neighborhood investments, and allow families to build wealth.
Leverage Public Land
Promote affordable housing development by leveraging public resources with private investments. Potential
tools include the following:
Development of affordable housing on publicly -owned land
Utilize proceeds form development of publicly -owned land to fund affordable housing
Create a policy for prioritizing affordable housing uses when disposing of public land.
162
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
Impact Fee Exemption
The City’s recently completed Growing SLC: A Five-Year Housing Plan, 2018-2022 recommends that impact fees
c ould be reduced by a decision-making body that reviews project transactions and that could only be accessed
by developers who commit to a percentage of units at a specific level of affordability.
Funding Our Future
In 2018, the City Council approved a 0.5% sales tax increase to address several important issues within the City
including transportation, housing, infrastructure, and public safety. This is estimated to provide an estimated $5
million additional sales tax revenues to support housing needs each year. Revenues may be shared between
development efforts and supporting affordable housing program efforts.
Redevelopment Agency
Salt Lake City’s Redevelopment Agency committed $17 million to address affordable housing efforts, with a
third of that targeted to areas where the City has experienced high land costs.
SLC Housing Trust Fund
The Salt Lake City Housing Trust Fund was created in 2000 to provide financial assistance to support the
development and preservation of affordable and special needs hous ing in Salt Lake City. Eligible activities
include acquisition, new construction, and rehabilitation of both multifamily rental properties and single -family
homeownership. Additional assistance relating to housing for eligible households also may include p roject or
tenant-based rental assistance, down payment assistance and technical assistance. Applications for funding can
be accepted year-round and are approved through a citizen’s advisory board, the Mayor and the City Council.
Funding Targeting
The Housing and Neighborhood Development Division continually evaluates ways to coordinate and target
affordable housing subsidies more effectively, including:
Coordinate local funding sources – Olene Walker, SLC Housing Trust Fund, County partnerships
Target soft money to housing units affordable to households with lower AMIs
Target soft money with low or no interest loans.
Policies
Salt Lake City will work to remove or ameliorate public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing
through the following efforts:
Affordable Housing Development Incentives: Zoning and fee waiver incentives will be implemented
and/or strengthened, including the following:
Refine the Impact Fee Exemption Ordinance to improve user friendliness and refine the range of
application.
Evaluate the accessory dwelling unit ordinance for a broader range of application.
Evaluate the transit station area zoning district regulations for a broader range of affordability
requirements and potentially expand the use of that zone.
Evaluate the feasibility of density bonuses and other development incentives for affordable housing
development and preservation, specifically in Historic Landmark Districts where it is particularly difficult
to add housing.
Review the City’s Fee Schedule to eliminate added fees for developers of affordable housing.
Review the City’s Housing Loss Mitigation ordinance to ensure that the city’s stock of inexpensive
housing isn’t rapidly being replaced by more expensive units.
Leverage Public Resources for Affordable H ousing Development: Public resources, including C ity-
owned land, will be leveraged with private resources for affordable housing development.
· Funding Targeting: The Housing and Neighborhood Development Division is evaluating ways to
coordinate and target affordable housing subsidies more effectively, to include the coordination of
163
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
local funding sources (Olene Walker Housing Loan Fund, Salt Lake City Housing Trust Fund, Salt Lake
County funding, etc).
Utilize the Salt Lake City Housing Trust Fund: Funding is focused on acquisition, new construction, and
rehabilitation of both multifamily rental properties and single-family homeownership. Additional
assistance relating to housing for eligible househol ds also may include project or tenant based rental
assistance, down payment assistance and technical assistance. The City has been very successful in
spending down the Trust’s funds over FY17-18 and is resulting in an increased number of affordable
units being built in the city. Applications for funding can be accepted year -round and are approved
through a citizen’s advisory board, the Mayor and the City Council.
Implement Fair Housing Action Items: Salt Lake City will work to remove and/or ameliorate housing
impediments for protected classes through action items as identified in the City’s 2015- 2019 Fair
Housing Action Plan.
Utilize Federal Funding to Expand Affordable Housing Opportunities: Utilize CDBG, ESG, HOME, and
HOPWA funding to expand housing opportunity through homeowner rehabilitation, emergency home
repair, acquisition/rehabilitation, direct financial assistance, tenant -based rental assistance, project-
based rental assistance, and rapid re-housing.
In addition to the Action Items listed above, the City aims to tackle some of the larger problems behind the lack
of affordable housing – mainly the lack of a living wage. One way the City is addressi ng this issue is through
strategic targeting of its CDBG funds to programs that provide job training for vulnerable populations or to
organizations that create economic development opportunities.
SP-60: HOMELESS STRATEGY 91.215(h)
REACHING OUT TO HOME LESS PERSONS (ESPECIALLY UNSHELTERED PERSONS) AND
ASSESSING THEIR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS.
Salt Lake City’s primary homeless services goal is to help homeless individuals and families get off the street
and eventually into permanent housing. In the short term, Salt L ake City will continue to provide collaborative
services to the homeless population.
Salt Lake City recognizes that not every homeless individual is alike and because of that, there is no one size fits
all solution. There are groups of chronic homeless i ndividuals, veterans, families, women with children, youth,
and homeless-by-choice in the greater community. Each of these groups has different needs and each stage of
homelessness must also be considered. The four stages of homelessness are prevention (ke eping people from
dropping into homelessness with jobs and affordable housing), homelessness (helping with daily needs –
lockers, showers, etc.), transcending homelessness (finding housing, employment), preventing recurrence
(offering supportive services to housing). If the four stages are not considered for each group, efforts will
eventually be unsuccessful.
Personalized one-on-one outreach to homeless individuals providing information about the specific services
that individual needs (e.g., housing, men tal health treatment, a hot meal) is the most effective outreach
approach. Salt Lake City works regularly with various community partners that provide outreach and assessment
of individuals experiencing homelessness including Catholic Community Services; V olunteers of America, Utah;
the Department of Veterans Affairs; The Road Home and others. In 2016, Salt Lake City opened the Community
Connection Center (CCC) located in the primary homeless services area of the City. The CCC operates as a drop -
in center and employs social workers that assess individuals’ needs and help connect people with available
housing and supportive services. The CCC has been successful in filling the need for additional homeless
outreach and case management services in the City. The Salt Lake City Police Department (SLCPD) is also
beginning a new pilot program. When available, while responding on a call with a person experiencing
164
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
homelessness, SLCPD will bring with them a social worker to engage with the client and help assess their
service needs and connect them to services.
ADDRESSING THE EMERGENCY SHELTER AND TRANSITIONAL HOUSING NEEDS OF HOMELESS
PERSONS.
Starting with the State of Utah’s Ten -Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness, most efforts to deal with
homelessness in Utah rely on the Housing First model. Although the ten - year plan has sunset, the programs
and direction are still being implemented throughout the State. The premise of Housing First is that once
homeless individuals have housing, they are more likely to seek and continue receiving services and can search
for employment. The Housing First model has been effective in Salt Lake City, though meeting the varied
housing needs of this population can be challenging. The homeless housing market needs more permanent
supportive housing, housing vouchers, affordable non -supportive housing, and housing located near transit
and services. Salt Lake City is working towards new solutions in these areas as outlined in the City’s newly -
adopted housing plan, Growing SLC.
There is a continued need for day services to meet the basic needs of persons experiencing homelessness.
Needed daytime services include bathrooms, laundry, safe storage for their life’s belongings, mail receipt, and
an indoor area to “hang out.” Salt Lake City addresses these issues by supporting shelters, day services, and
providing a free storage program. Furthermore, Salt Lake City has constructed two new homeless resource
centers that will provide emergency shelter and housing -focused supportive services. This shift in how
homeless services are provided will help the community realize our goal that homelessness is rare, brief, and
non-recurring.
Moving forward, Salt Lake City will aim to assist homeless persons make the transition to permanent housing,
including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating
access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families
who were recently homeless from becoming h omeless again.
The City plays an important role by providing strategic funding for the valuable efforts undertaken by other
stakeholders and, at times, filling in gaps in essential services. The City can also lend its voice and political
weight to lobby for changes in policy, regulation, and statutes as needed to facilitate a comprehensive and
effective approach to addressing homelessness and related issues.
Salt Lake City’s newly adopted housing plan, Growing SLC, includes efforts to provide affordable housing
options along the spectrum of housing including permanent supportive housing, transition in place, tenant
based rental assistance, and affordable non -supportive housing.
Shelter the Homeless, Collective Impact to End Homelessness Steering Committ ee, and the Salt Lake City
Continuum of Care voted in support of merging these two entities into a new homeless system structure called
the Salt Lake Valley Coalition to End Homelessness. This Coalition’s primary goals are to prevent and end
homelessness in the Salt Lake Valley through a system -wide commitment of resources, services, data collection,
analysis and coordination among all stakeholders. Salt Lake City staff play a key role in assisting this effort as it
moves forward.
HELPING HOMELESS PERSONS (ESPECIALLY CHRONICALLY HOMELESS INDIVID UALS AND

Salt Lake City and its service partners work with homeless individuals to help them successfully transition from
living on the streets or shelters and into permanent housing or independent living.
The Salt Lake Valley Coalition to End Homelessness’s primary goals are to prevent and end homelessness in Salt
Lake Valley through a system -wide commitment of resources, services, data collection, analysis, and
coordination among all stakeholders. Salt Lake City staff play a key role in assisting this effort as it moves
forward.
The City’s recently completed Growing Salt Lake City: A Five -Year Housing Plan 2018-2022 provides the
following goals to remove barriers to affordable housing:
Goal 1: Reform City practices to promote a responsive, affordable, high -opportunity housing market
Includes reforming City practices, such as land use and zoning regulations, as well as impediments in
City processes
Goal 2: Increase housing opportunities for cost -burdened households
Prioritizes stabilizing very low -income renters, the development of more af fordable units and increased
home ownership opportunities
Goal 3: Build a more equitable city
Eliminate incidences of housing discrimination and promote a diversity of housing throughout all areas
of the City
Coupling along with Growing Salt Lake City, in 2018 City Council and the Mayor increased the sales tax by .5%
in an effort to create funding streams to address several critical needs within the City. Once such need is
affordable housing. Through this mechanism, it is anticipated that over $2m of fund ing will be available each
year to support low -income individuals and families access to affordable housing. Among other housing needs,
funds will be used to support access of permanent housing opportunities for those that are exiting
homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless.
HELPING LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES AVOID BE COMING HOMELESS,

Future will be available each year to support low -income individuals and families access affordable housing.
Among other needs, funds will be used to identify and support households that are at risk of los ing housing
due to a variety of reason, including but not limited to eviction for non -payment, those that are precariously
housed, those that are in fact at risk of becoming homeless, but do not meet HUD’s definition of homeless, or
that are in a judicial process in which mitigation and resolution is possible.
Salt Lake City, along with other organizations in the Salt Lake Continuum of Care, work to prevent and divert
individuals and families from experiencing homelessness. Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County and the State of Utah
all provide funding to Utah Community Action for short -term rental assistance to families at risk of falling into
homelessness.
Salt Lake City is reducing and ending homelessness in the community through strong collaborations with
partner organizations throughout the Salt Lake Continuum of Care. Salt Lake City works closely with Salt Lake
County, the State of Utah and service providers to stop families from dropping into homelessness, reduce the
length of time individuals and famili es experience homelessness, help individuals and families successfully
transition out of homelessness, and keep individuals and families from rescinding back into homelessness.
The Salt Lake Valley Coalition to End Homelessness’s primary goals are to preve nt and end homelessness in Salt
Lake Valley through a system -wide commitment of resources, services, data collection, analysis and
coordination among all stakeholders. Salt Lake City staff play a key role in assisting this effort as it moves
forward.
SP-65: LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARDS 91.215(i)
Because a high percentage of the housing units in Salt Lake City were built before 1978, outreach and
education efforts about lead-based paint must continue. As such, the City has implemented a plan to address
lead issues in our residential rehabilitation projects. The City’s Housing Rehabilitation Program is in compliance
with HUD’s rules concerning identification and treatment of lead hazards. During the 2018 -2019 program year,
Salt Lake City worked in conjunction wit h our partners on the state and county levels to educate the public on
the dangers posed by lead based paint, including the following:
Undertake outreach efforts through direct mailings, the Salt Lake City website, various fairs
and public events, and the local community councils.
Provide materials in Spanish to increase lead -based paint hazard awareness in minority
communities.
Partner with Salt Lake County’s Lead Safe Salt Lake program to treat lead hazards in the
homes of children identified as having elevated blood levels.
Emphasize lead hazards in our initial contacts with homeowners needing rehabilitation.
Work with community partners to encourage local contractors to obtain worker certifications
for their employees and sub-contractors.
167
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
HOW ARE THE ACTIONS LISTED ABOVE RELATED TO THE EXTENT OF LEAD POISONING AND
HAZARDS?
Our efforts over the last five years have resulted in a significant increase in the number of children being tested
for elevated blood-lead levels. This has been made possible through improvements in testing technology which
has allowed the City to better detect and protect children and their family members who might be living in a
hazardous environment. The percentage of children testing positive has continued to remain below 1% despi te
the action level for blood-lead levels has been reduced from 10 mcg/dl to 5 mcg/dl. Through our rehabilitation
and outreach efforts, we hope to continue to maintain these low testing levels and continue to protect our
children from dangerous living conditions.
HOW ARE THE ACTIONS LISTED ABOVE INTEGRATED INTO HOUSING POL ICIES AND
PROCEDURES?
The abatement of lead in Salt Lake City’s existing housing stock is an important component of addressing fair
housing impediments for low -income families with children. It is a policy of Salt Lake City’s Housing
Rehabilitation program, as well as other housing programs funded through the City’s federal entitlement block
grants, to employ safe work practices when working to identify and abate lead -based paint in househ olds.
SP-70: ANTI-POVERTY STRATEGY 91.215(j)
JURISDICTION GOALS, PROGRAMS, AND POLICIES FOR REDUCING THE NUMBER OF
POVERTY-LEVEL FAMILIES
Similar to cities across the country, Salt Lake City is faced with growing income inequality and must address
poverty in our community. The limited incomes of many Salt Lake City residents have left them with insufficient
means to meet an adequate standard of living – especially in light of the massive increase in housing,
transportation, health care, and many other critical need costs. In a strategic effort to reduce the number of
households living in poverty and prevent households from falling into poverty, Salt Lake City is focusing on a
multi-pronged approach:
1. Identify strategic opportunities to build capacity, p revent displacement, and expand resources within
the target area that align with other large-scale community investment.
2. Support the City’s most vulnerable populations, including the chronically homeless, homeless
individuals and families, those faci ng behavioral health concerns, persons living with HIV/AIDS,
disabled, and the low -income elderly.
The City’s anti-poverty strategy aims to close the gap in a number of socioeconomic indicators, such as
improving housing affordability, stabilizing househ olds that may be at risk of losing their housing, deploy anti -
displacement strategies, increase employment skills of at -risk adults, access to transportation for low -income
households, and support behavioral health programs. Efforts will focus on the follo wing objectives:
Assist low -income individuals to maximize their incomes.
Expand housing opportunities.
Ensure that vulnerable populations have access to supportive services.
Evaluate the use of anti -displacement strategies and access to high opportunity areas.
Increase access to public transit systems for vulnerable populations.
Federal entitlement funds allocated through this Consolidated Plan will support the City’s anti -poverty strategy
through the following:
168
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
Provide job/vocational training for vulnerable populations.
Provide essential supportive services for vulnerable populations.
Provide housing rehabilitation for low -income homeowners.
Expand affordable housing opportunities.
Improve neighborhood/commercial infrastructure in target areas.
Provide transportation amenities that support multi-modal transportation.
Increase access to public transit systems for vulnerable populations.
HOW ARE THE JURISDICTION’S POVERTY REDUCING GOALS, PROGRAMS, AND POLICIES
COORDINATED WITH THIS AFFORDABLE HOUSING PLAN:
Anti-poverty efforts outlined in this plan will be leveraged with other City plans, programs, initiatives and
resources to undertake a comprehensive approach to reduce the occurrence of poverty within Salt Lake City.
City programs and initiatives that su pport anti-poverty efforts include, but are not limited to, the following:
Growing SLC : A Five-Year Housing Plan 2018-2022
Affordable Housing Rehabilitation and Development
Rental Assistance Programs
Direct Financial Assistance Programs
Economic Development Loan Fund
SP-80: MONITORING 91.230
DESCRIBE THE STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES TH AT THE JURISDICTION WILL USE TO
MONITOR ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT IN FURTHE RANCE OF THE PLAN AND WILL USE TO
ENSURE LONG-TERM COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS OF THE PROGRAMS INVOLVED,
INCLUDING MINORITY BUSINESS OUTREACH AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PL ANNING
REQUIREMENTS.
To ensure compliance from the start of a project or program, the Housing and Neighborhood Development
(HAND) Division uses the application process to start the monitoring pr ocess of all agencies. Each application
must go through an extensive review process that includes a risk analysis of proposed activities and ensures
that each applicant meets a national objective and that the organizational goals are aligned with the goals
identified in the City’s Consolidated Plan.
Once the applications pass the initial review, each application is taken through an extensive public process, with
the final funding decisions being made by our City Council. At that time, contracts are drawn up that identify
governing regulations, scope of work, budgets and any other Federal requirements and local requirements of
the grant. Once fully executed contracts are in place, HAND’s Capital Planning staff are responsible for
monitoring the agencies through the life of the contract. The agencies are monitored for compliance with the
program regulations as well as the content found in the City contracts.
To ensure sub-grantees are aware of program requirements, each agency that was awarded funds receive d an
invitation to attend a mandatory grant training seminar. This seminar allows HAND staff to reiterate Federal
regulations, provide guidance on changes for the upcoming grant year, identify Federal funding concerns, and
review expectations of the agenci es. The City requires that at least one attendee from each agency come to the
training. Each person attending the training seminar receives a handbook that contains important information
including contacts, website links, timelines, and a list of documents that are required to be submitted to the
169
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
City annually. Agencies that were unable to attend do have the ability to receive training documents if they
contact the City.
The City operates all CDBG, ESG, HOME and HOPWA grants on a reimbursement basis. This ensures that desk
reviews, an important part of monitoring, can be completed before federal funds are utilized for any program
or project. A desk review was completed for every reimbursement request. This allowed HAND staff to ensure
that all requirements of the contract and federal regulations were actively being met prior to disbursing any
funds or drawing funds from HUD’s Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS). The IDIS system
also helps to assist with program/project eligibility requirem ents, track spending rates and report performance
measurements.
During the program year, the HAND staff works together with sub -grantees to ensure Federal regulations are
followed. This ensures consistent communication between staff and agencies and redu ces confusion. Through
the use of a Risk Analysis, coupled with reporting mechanisms, the Division Director and HAND staff are able to
determine which agencies would benefit from a technical training session, and which agencies need to have an
on-site monitoring visit. The agencies that score highest typically have a monitoring visit during the following
program year. As per Federal regulations, select agencies from each program (CDBG, ESG, HOME & HOPWA)
are monitored on an annual basis.
Because it is a HAND policy that each reimbursement request receives a desk review prior to funds being
disbursed, it is a straightforward process to monitor compliance throughout the term of the contract. In
addition to desk reviews, tailored guidance is given throughout t he year via telephone and email conversations.
Many of the agencies receiving funding were for programs that have received grant funds over a long period of
time and had no substantial changes to their programs. As such, the City focused its efforts on new agencies
needing technical assistance, and on working with veteran agencies and their performance measurements to
ensure better data quality for outcomes.
Agencies receiving Tenant Based Rental Assistance funding are highly encouraged to place clients in
multifamily units that meet the City Housing standards. It is the City’s requirement that all residential rental
units must have a current City business license. These units are regularly inspected as per City Ordinance.
However, it is also our understanding that some clients may not be housed in multifamily units for one reason
or another. In an effort to ensure safe, decent housing, a process exists whereby a Landlord may self -certify that
the unit meets City Housing Code. Outside of the City’s incorpora ted boundaries, agencies must follow local
housing ordinances. In these instances, a Housing Quality Standard Inspection form must be in the client’s file.
All inspections and housing standards must be met prior to the clients moving into their units.
HAND staff provides year-round technical assistance via phone, email and when needed, in person. This
technical assistance provides the agencies with an opportunity to evaluate programs, policies and practices in a
low stress environment. Continued technical assistance ensures compliance with federal regulations.
Technical assistance and monitoring visits reveal that, in general, our agencies have well documented processes
and are quick to contact the City when questions arise. If deficiencies are identifie d and agencies will work
quickly to adjust processes as necessary and move forward with stronger programs.
The City encourages citizens to become active in their communities, providing feedback to the City about how
their neighborhoods could be improved, how funding should be prioritized, and address safety concerns.

APPENDIX A: 2020-2024 FAIR HOUSING ACTION PLAN
Salt Lake City is dedicated to affirmatively furthering the purposes of the Fair Housing Act to ensure equal
access to rental and homeownership opportunities for all residents. Through the efforts identified in the 2020-
2024 Fair Housing Action Plan, Salt Lake City will continue to collaborate with our partners to enforce federal,
state, and local laws that prohibit housing discrimination based on a person’s race, color, religion, sex, disability,
familial status, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, source of income, age, parental status, or
marital status. In addition, the City will address practices and policies that have the effect of limiting housing
choice for protected classes. As part of a larger network of fair housing stakeholders, Salt Lake City will work
toward a future where everyone has an equitable and affordable place to call home.
ANALYSIS OF IMPEDIMENTS
In 2014, the Bureau of Economic and Business Research at the University of Utah completed a comprehensive
analysis of fair housing on both a regional and city level with a grant from HUD. Salt Lake City continues to use
the 2014 data due to the fact that there are no significant changes to the data, nor significant changes to the
methods to address the impediments identified. However, the City will continue to work collaboratively with
community members, data experts, and local municipalities if additional data comes forward. The Regional
Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice Salt Lake County and Salt Lake City Fair Housing Equity
Assessment provide an analysis of the following:
Patterns of segregation
Racial and ethnic concentrated areas of poverty
Disparities by race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin, and disability in access to housing
and community assets, including education, transit, and employment
This Analysis of Impediments builds on that prior study and focuses on current areas of impediments.
Between 2013 and 2018, The Fair Housing Program of the Disability Law Center (DLC) of Utah conducted fair
housing testing for the purpose of uncovering rental housing discrimination directed towards protected classes.
This program serves Salt Lake City and all areas of Utah to ensure that an individual’s housing rights are upheld
and that micro or systematic discrimination is not present.
ACTION PLAN
Salt Lake City has utilized the regional analysis of impediments, fair housing equity assessment, and data
gathered through the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan planning process to identify impediments to fair housing
choice that disproportionately affect members of protected classes. The following Action Plan provides an
overview of fair housing impediments and provides action items to remove or ameliorate each impediment.
Impediments can be direct or indirect, created by both public sector and private sector actions, and have been
divided into the following categories:
1. Discrimination in Housing
2. Mobility and Access to Opportunity
3. Availability of Affordable and Suitable Housing
4. Zoning, Land Use Regulations and Redevelopment Policies
5. Fair Housing Coordination and Knowledge
1. Discrimination in Housing
As a HUD-funded recipient Salt Lake City does not discriminate in housing or services on the basis of race,
color, national origin, disability, familial status, religion, or sex, as well as protected classes covered under state
170
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
and local regulations. The City works to eliminate discriminatory practices and ensure equal housing
opportunities for all. Even with the City’s efforts to eliminate discriminatory practices, fair housing equity
assessments have, on occasion, found discriminatory practices.
Impediment: Unfair Lending Practices
A contrast of mortgage denials and approvals exists between racial and ethnic populations in Salt Lake County.
The mortgage application denial rate for Hispanics (20%) in Salt Lake City is higher than that of non-Hispanics
(13%).1
Actions to Eliminate or Ameliorate Impediment:
I. Expand homeownership opportunities by continuing to target the City’s Low and
Moderate-Income Homebuyer program, as well as other direct financial assistance
programs funded through CDBG and HOME, to racial and ethnic minorities, persons
with disabilities, single-parent households, and large families.
II. Collaborate with community partners, including community development
organizations, religious institutions, employment centers, and housing counseling
agencies to support education programs on bank products and services, financial
management, and homebuyer counseling. Programs should be offered in English and
Spanish, as well as other languages as needed.
III. Work with local lenders, financial institutions, and real estate institutions to build
awareness on fair housing laws and practices.
IV. Support the Disability Law Center’s fair housing testing efforts directed at private market real estate
practices
Impediment: Rental Discrimination
The Fair Housing Program at Utah’s Disability Law Center serves people from all protected classes (race, color,
ethnicity, sex/gender, religion, disability, familial status) and not just people with disabilities. Utah law also
protects against discrimination based on source of income, sexual orientation and gender identity. The program
serves Salt Lake City and is intended to ensure that an individual’s housing rights are upheld and that micro or
systematic discrimination is not present.
The Disability Law Center helps ensure that people who belong to protected classes have equal access and
opportunity to rent or own homes and apartments in their communities. This work includes, but is not limited
to, the following:
Ensuring that landlords and property owners do not discriminate in renting or selling property
Making sure that housing is accessible to people with disabilities to the extent required by law
Advocating to increase the amount of accessible, affordable, and integrated housing
Providing fair housing trainings for providers, landlords, and consumers of housing
Conducting fair housing testing to ensure that landlords are complying with fair housing laws
Enforcing fair housing laws through administrative and judicial complaint processes
The Disability Law Center has uncovered rental housing discrimination directed toward protected classes. The
Center conducts tests with matched pairs of individuals, couples, or families. Testers are matched on rental
eligibility characteristics so that the only significant difference between them is the factor being tested.
1 Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, Home Mortgage Disclosure Act
171
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
On average, approximately 300 calls a year to the Disability Law Center originate from Salt Lake City
residents.
Data on fair housing testing from the Disability Law Center, the most common rental housing
discrimination in Salt Lake City are primarily based on disability status, national origin, and race.
Data collected from 2013 to 2018 showed 97 cases of confirmed disparate treatment and signs of
disparate treatment, regarding housing discrimination in Salt Lake City. During this period there were a
total of 1,078 reports of people who felt they had been discriminated against. Of those, 456 total
required short-term assistance and instructions on how to advocate for what they need on their own or
required referrals to other legal agencies.
In 2019 Approximately 40 of the total calls were elevated to case level. Of those, the Disability Law
Center successfully mediated directly with landlords on behalf of tenants.
Approximately 150 fair housing tests per year are completed by the Disability Law Center, with about
25% of the total having some sort of housing discrimination red flag.
Examples of the incidents around rental housing discrimination, all of which are illegal, verified by the Disability
Law Center testing are:
Landlords requesting tenants to waive HIPAA rights to verify their disabilities.
Requiring extra deposit fees for service animals.
Landlords wanting to visibly identify a person’s severity of disability to determine if they should rent to
them.
When an Arabic sounding name was given to a landlord, the landlord wanted to see the potential
tenant before deciding to rent to them.
Potential tenants of color being told to pay higher deposits and higher monthly rents compared to
white potential tenants.
Potential renters of color being told there are no apartments available when white potential renters are
told there are several available to them that day.
Different move in specials given to white applicants over applicants of color. Such as free parking
spaces, or being offered apartments closer to amenities.
Actions to Eliminate or Ameliorate Impediment:
I. Utilize the Good Landlord program to educate landlords and property managers on
fair housing laws and requirements;
II. In partnership with the Utah Antidiscrimination and Labor Division and the Disability
Law Center, the Apartment Association, utilize the Mayor’s Office of Diversity and
Human rights to provide educational programming on tenant rights and fair housing;
III. Refer victims of housing discrimination to the Utah Antidiscrimination and Labor
Division and the Disability Law Center to process fair housing complaints.
2. MOBILITY AND ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITY
Fair housing choice provides that members of protected classes are able to choose a residence that offers
access to opportunity including essential services, transit, quality schools, job opportunities, and healthy
communities. As the map below demonstrates, there are differences in access to transit based on
neighborhood. The Center for Neighborhood Technology tracks an overall transit score for municipalities based
on trips per week and number of jobs accessible by transit. The central parts of the City score highly by this
standard but, as shown in Figure 1, some areas with lower incomes, such as the Glendale, Poplar Grove, and
Rose Park neighborhoods, score lower in the transit scores as transit lines are not as accessible in these
neighborhoods.
172

It is Salt Lake city’s goal to expand housing opportunity within neighborhoods by increasing economic diversity
and addressing spatial disparities and impediments. Mobility and opportunity impediments are as follows:
Impediment: Racial and Ethnic Segregation
Figure 2 shows a breakdown of the City’s census tracts by their reported poverty level as it pertains to the
reported minority population within the tracts. It shows that the tracts directly west of I-15 have some of the
highest concentrations of minorities who are also living below the poverty level.

Racial and ethnic segregation in Salt Lake City developed due to a multitude of factors, including the housing
market, neighborhood preferences, land use policies including zoning, demographics, and economic
conditions.
Action to Eliminate or Ameliorate Impediment:
I. Expand affordable housing opportunities throughout the City to increase housing
choice for protected classes. Housing opportunities should include rental and
homeownership, with a focus on housing to accommodate large families. Salt Lake
City will support mixed-income opportunities through the following efforts:
a. Utilize funding resources, including HOME Investment Partnership Program
funding, Housing Trust Fund, and other funding sources to provide financial
assistance for the development of housing that economically diversifies
neighborhoods.
b. Support zoning and land use policies that allow and/or incentivize affordable
housing development in areas with high opportunity.
c. Build public-private partnerships to leverage public resources with private
capital to support housing development in areas with high opportunity.
174
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
Impediment: Access to Opportunity
As Figure 3 demonstrates, the opportunity index is considerably higher on the east side of Salt Lake City as
compared to the west side of the City and the area surrounding I-15.
FIGURE 3
High opportunity areas are geographical locations within the city that provide conditions that expand a
person’s likelihood for social mobility. These areas have been identified through an analysis of quality-of life
indicators, homeownership rate, poverty, cost-burdened households, educational proficiency, unemployment
rate, and labor force participation. With these multiple indicators, a single composite, or
standardized, score is calculated for each census tract. Scores may range from 1 to 10, with 1 indicating
low opportunity and 10 indicating high opportunity. A census tract with a standardized score above that of the
citywide average shall be designated as an Area of Opportunity. Salt Lake City contracted with the University of
Utah’s Kem C. Gardner Institute to develop and annually update the city’s Areas of Opportunity data.

Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
Action to Eliminate or Ameliorate Impediment:
I. Expand access to opportunity in RDA project areas by demographically and
geographically targeting CDBG funding to support economic development,
transportation improvements, anti-displacement strategies, and other anti-poverty
programs.
II. Improve housing stability in RDA Project Areas by increasing outreach and education
regarding the availability and use of CDBG and HOME funding for housing
rehabilitation.
III. Utilize federal and local funding in distressed and at-risk neighborhoods for strategic
housing development to catalyze private investment, improve housing quality, and
promote occupancy at a range of household incomes.

2020-2024
3. AVAILABILITY OF AFFORDABLE AND SUITABLE HOUSING
A regional lack of affordable housing disproportionately impacts protected classes. Protected classes are
especially impacted by a lack of rental housing affordable to households at 50% AMI and below, large family
households, and disabled person households. Housing stock impediments are as follows:
Impediment: Rental housing affordable to households at 50% of AMI and below
A housing gap analysis found a citywide shortage of 6,177 affordable rental units for households earning less
than $20,000 per year. About 37 percent of the City’s renter households earned less than $20,000 in 2018, with
only 11 percent of the rentals in the city in their affordability range. The limited availability of housing
affordable to households at 50% AMI and below have disproportionally impacted racial and ethnic minorities,
persons with disabilities, and large families.
Action to Eliminate or Ameliorate Impediment:
I. Promote development of housing units, including permanent supportive housing
units, affordable to households earning 50% AMI and below by leveraging public and
private investments. City-owned land can be used to leverage private investment for
affordable and supportive housing development.
II. Utilize the Salt Lake City Housing Trust Fund/Housing Trust Development Fund, and
HOME Development Fund to develop housing affordable to households targeted to
households at 50% AMI or below. The Salt Lake City Housing Trust Fund was created
by the Mayor and City Council in 2000 to provide financial assistance to support the
development and preservation of affordable and special needs housing in Salt Lake
City. Eligible activities include acquisition, new construction, and rehabilitation of both
multi-family rental properties and single-family homeownership. Additional assistance
relating to housing for eligible households may include project or tenant-based rental
assistance, down payment assistance and technical assistance. The HOME
Development Fund was created as a reaction to the increasing housing costs and
difficulty in deploying HOME funds. It’s uses align with federal regulations and are
targeted to acquisition, new construction, rehabilitation, and homeownership
opportunities. The funds may be used for single family units as well as multi-family
units.
III. Strengthen incentives for the development of affordable housing. Incentives might
include inclusionary zoning, density bonuses, fee reductions, fee waivers, land
subsidies, and limited property tax exemptions. Strategies may also include
disposition of city-owned land for the use of affordable housing development,
interest rate discounts, and below market sales.
IV. Salt Lake City has several affordable housing projects currently planned which are
expected to add 476 affordable units in the near future. These projects are listed in
the table below.
TABLE 1: FUTURE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS

177
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
Impediment: Rental housing for large families
With an increasing share of minorities, particularly Hispanic and refugee/New American families who on
average have larger household sizes, there is a higher demand for the low supply of rental options with enough
bedrooms to accommodate large families. However, the supply of rental units with 4 or more bedrooms has
been diminishing, while the supply of units with 2-3 bedrooms has been increasing.
TABLE 2: PERCENT OF RENTAL UNITS BY SIZE
Unit Size 2013 2018
No Bedroom 5% 8%
1 Bedroom 38% 36%
2 or 3 Bedrooms 36% 50%
4 or More Bedrooms 21% 6%
Source: U.S. Census Bureau: 2014-2018 ACS 5-Year Estimates, Physical Housing Characteristics for Occupied Housing Units
Actions to Eliminate or Ameliorate Impediment:
I. Utilize Salt Lake City Housing Trust Fund, Housing Trust Development Fund, CDBG,
and HOME funding to prioritize the development and preservation of affordable large
units (three or more bedrooms).
II. Encourage the geographical dispersal of affordable large bedroom units throughout
the City to expand housing choice. Prioritize affordable housing development for
families in neighborhoods that provide access to opportunities, including jobs, public
transportation, education, and public amenities.
Impediment: Housing for Disabled Persons
More long-term, stable housing is necessary to address the needs of disabled populations. Disabled
populations can experience several barriers in accessing housing and supportive services, including housing
discrimination, cognitive abilities, lack of documentation, coordination of resources, substance abuse, and
instability. As such, accessibility modifications, behavioral and medical services, and other supportive services
are necessary to address the needs of disabled populations. In addition, more residential and transitional
housing opportunities are required to address the needs of extremely low-income persons with chronic alcohol
and substance addictions.
Actions to Eliminate or Ameliorate Impediment:
I. Prioritize CDBG funding for housing programs that provide accessibility modifications
to low-income homeowners.

2020-2024
II. Prioritize the development and preservation of affordable housing units that meet fair
housing accessibility guidelines, with focus on rental housing affordable to
households at 50% AMI and below.
II. Prioritize CDBG funding for supportive housing programs targeted to disabled
populations.
4. ZONING, LAND USE REGULATIONS, AND REDEVELOPMENT POLICIES
Land use regulations can prevent the development of affordable housing and an equitable distribution of
housing types throughout all areas of the City.
Impediment: Zoning and land use regulations can restrict possibilities for affordable housing, thereby
limiting housing choice for protected classes.
As a large rental city, Salt Lake City has a considerable amount of multifamily zoning. As such, Salt Lake City
provides a broad range of housing types for households with a wide range of incomes. However, many of the
City’s neighborhoods are zoned for single-family use and prohibit multi-family housing. These neighborhoods
are often considered to be high opportunity by offering quality schools, low crime rates, public amenities, and
economic opportunities.
As housing affordability continues to decline in Salt Lake City, the inadequate supply of affordable housing will
increasingly impact protected classes. Such disparities will compound if zoning limits affordable housing
development through the following:
Limitations on the siting of group homes
Limitations on the siting of accessory dwelling units
Minimum single-family lot sizes
A lack of multifamily zoning in census tracts with low poverty rates
Actions to Eliminate or Ameliorate Impediment:
I. Provide zoning incentives to encourage affordable housing development throughout
the City;
II. Revise zoning to more broadly allow mixed-income, multi-family, and affordable
residential uses;
III. Broaden the range of explicitly permitted residential uses for vulnerable populations,
especially for supportive housing, group homes, and others;
5. FAIR HOUSING COORDINATION AND KNOWLEDGE
Salt Lake City is committed to promoting fair housing through education and coordination. Producers,
consumers, and providers of housing need to have adequate fair housing knowledge to promote best practices.
In addition, coordination needs to occur between local municipalities to effectively ameliorate fair housing
impediments at the regional level.
Impediment: Lack of reginal fair housing coordination between municipalities, service providers, and
other fair housing stakeholders.
Several impediments to fair housing choice are shared across municipalities in Salt Lake County. The most
effective mitigation to these common impediments is a coordinated approach by all of the jurisdictions in the
region.
Action to Eliminate or Ameliorate Impediment:
179
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
I. Salt Lake City will continue to participate in the Utah Fair Housing forum which
includes representatives from HUD’s Regional Office of Fair Housing and Equal
Opportunity, the Disability Law Center, the Utah Antidiscrimination and Labor
division, representatives from various Utah entitlement cities, and fair housing
advocacy groups.
II. Salt Lake City will participate and promote with community partners all regional Fair
Housing training, conferences, and Fair Housing Design and Construction training.
Impediment: Fair housing knowledge does not reach all producers, consumers, and providers of
housing, which results in a lack of understanding, misconceptions, and violations of fair housing laws.
Fair housing cannot become a high priority for our community without increased awareness on fair housing
rights and responsibilities. Increased awareness needs to occur for all fair housing stakeholders, from producers
to consumers of housing.
Actions to Eliminate or Ameliorate Impediment:
I. Promote fair housing rights and responsibilities through Salt Lake city’s annual
workshop for CDBG, ESG, HOME, and HOPWA subgrantees.
II. Distribute fair housing literature in multiple languages through various outreach
events and through the City’s website.
III. Utilize the good Landlord program to educate landlords and property managers on
fair housing laws and requirements.
IV. In partnership with the Utah Antidiscrimination and Labor Division and the Disability
Law Center, utilize the Mayor’s Office of Diversity and Human Rights to provide
educational programming on tenant rights and fair housing.
V. Collaborate with community partners, including community development
organizations, religious institutions, employment centers and housing counseling
agencies to support education programs on bank products and services, financial
management, and homebuyer counseling. Programs should be offered in English and
Spanish, as well as other languages as applicable.
Impediment: Language barriers faced by recent immigrants, refugees, New Americans, deaf, hard-of-
hearing, deaf-blind, or speech disabled individuals create a challenge to access available housing
opportunities and obtain fair housing knowledge and resources.
Persons with limited English proficiency (LEP) are those whose proficiency in speaking, reading, writing, or
understanding English is such that it denies or limits their ability to have meaningful access to programs and
services if language assistance is not provided. According to the 2014-2018 American Community Survey (ACS),
over 16.4 percent of Salt Lake City’s population is foreign-born. Salt Lake City is committed to providing
language assistance for LEP persons to ensure equal access to all programs, resources, and opportunities for
public engagement.
Actions to Eliminate or Ameliorate Impediment:
I. Salt Lake City and its subgrantees will identify populations served that have limited
English proficiency (LEP) and develop reasonable steps to ensure meaningful access
180
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
to LEP persons. Each agency/program will develop and implement a language access
plan (LAP) to prevent discrimination and foster an environment of inclusiveness.
II. Salt Lake City will continue to make its Housing Rehabilitation and Low and
Moderate-Income Homebuyer programs available to all eligible individuals including
those for whom English is not their primary language and who have a limited ability
to read, write, speak or understand English. The Division of Housing and
Neighborhood Development’s LAP outlines steps to ensure meaningful access to its
housing programs and activities by LEP persons.
III. Salt Lake City will utilize and advertise communication resources and options for deaf,
hard-of-hearing, deaf-blind, or speech disabled individuals who can use a Text
Telephone (TTY) service. The City will also coordinate with the Mayor’s Americans with
Disability Act (ADA) community liaison for additional communication resources and
options.
IMPLEMENTATION
Salt Lake City is taking a comprehensive approach to affirmatively furthering fair housing by promoting fair
housing enforcement and education, as well as expanding housing choice and availability. The City intends to
further develop the action steps included in this plan and report on progress through the City’s annual Action
Plan and Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Reports (CAPERs). Implementation of these actions
will require coordination of efforts from multiple stakeholders inside and outside of City government, including
subgrantees, housing, and community development partners, various committees, and City staff.

APPENDIX B: SUMMARY OF PUBLIC COMMENT AND CITIZEN
PARTICIPATION
Citizen participation is key to ensure goals and priorities in the Consolidated plan are defined in the context of
community needs and preferences. It also provides an opportunity to educate the community about the City’s
federal grant programs. To this end, Salt Lake City solicited involvement from a diverse group of stake holders
and community members during the development of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. Public engagement
efforts included a citywide survey, public hearings, public meetings, stakeholder committee meetings, internal
technical committee meetings, and a public comment period.
The City received input and buy-in from residents, homeless service providers, low-income service providers,
food banks, housing advocates, housing developers, housing authorities, anti-poverty advocates, healthcare
providers, transit authority planners, City divisions and departments, among others.
Citizen participation opportunities included the following:
Housing and Neighborhood Development Needs Survey
Stakeholder Advisory Committee Meetings

INTERDEPARTMENTAL TECHNICAL ADVISORY GROUP MEETING #1
On July 29, 2019, the Interdepartmental Technical Advisory Group (ITAG) conducted their first meeting. The
ITAG members responded to real-time interactive polling using the same questions as the resident survey to
ensure consistency and compare results. The top priorities were housing and transportation with an emphasis
on insufficient housing stock to meet the needs of a growing population. This concern about stock and growth
was focused mostly on low-income individual and families, seniors, and persons with disabilities. Another key
takeaway from the meeting was that ITAG members felt that their role in relates to the Consolidated Plan was
to assist the City Council with implementation and to be a liaison to the public and City officials.
STAKEHOLDER MEETING #1
On July 30, 2019, the Housing and Neighborhood Development Division of Salt Lake City held a public meeting
with nonprofit providers of housing and supportive services. The purpose of the meeting was to gain input and
discuss which needs of low- and moderate-income residents were the greatest. This input helped form the
Consolidated Plan’s goals and priorities.
The meeting agenda was as follows:
10:30 a.m. - 10:40 a.m. – Introductions

insight into their perception of existing conditions and trends. This was followed by a survey which helped the
attendees specify priorities moving forward. The survey results indicated housing services were the highest
priority. Homeless services, mental health services, healthcare services, and childhood education programs were
the next top priorities respectively.

2019 General Needs Hearing: Public Comment Summary
Source: Email
Date Submitted: 10/22/19
Contacted Through: NextDoor
Key Points: Streets/Police
Thanks for asking about what are issues are.
Think the city should concentrate on the things the city is supposed to accomplish.
These things, as I see it, are the main responsibilities of the city
Police and Fire protection
Courts
Water and sewer, trash pickup, street lighting, flood control
Streets (repair, traffic flow)
Parks, including golf courses and disc golf courses
I think that the city does a pretty good job on most of these items but, we probably could get better on
streets and police.
On the west side the streets are in disrepair and have been for what seems like a long time. The main
east/west streets, 10th north, 6th north and North temple all have some problems. 10th and 6th are
beat to death and North Temple has poor semaphore usage. I think you are working on a plan for 6th
north. If not, you should be. The same needs to be done for 10th North.
On North temple, the Tracks line mid block cross walks (sometimes not at mid block) need to activate
only one half of the road at a time. Pedestrians should have to push a button to get from side A to the
train island and then push a button to get from the island to side B since most of the people are crossing
just to get on the train. Secondly those lights should all be of the new type for pedestrians where
passing the button stops traffic and then after a few seconds flashes to make traffic stop, look and go.
As far as police go, I think they do a great job but are somewhat undermanned. I hear and see people
speeding or racing on Redwood road far too often. I think if police pull people over once in a while, at
random intervals, it would act as a traffic calming action.
217
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
Shooting occurs too often. Perhaps a “seen” police presence would help eliminated that. I actually feel
safe in my area but I see more city employees on Segways checking the garbage for contraband than I
see police in the area. That doesn’t seem right. I also see FAR TOO MANY people texting while driving. I
think that if we shower our texters with tickets the streets would be safer. I don’t think that the media
campaign is useless but there would be more impact if more people got ticketed.
That’s my 2 cents for now. If I think of anything else, I will add it. If you have any questions or need
clarification, please contact me.
Thanks for reading,

Key Points: Air BnB, Private Streets, Community Garden
Dear Dillon,
I have some general concerns to share with you.
1) Short term rentals in residential neighborhoods. I live on the 400 South block of Elizabeth Street,
84102. It's a tiny, private street, and yet there are TWO people operating AirBNB on our block. We have
contacted Civil Enforcement often and there is reluctance to do anything. Why isn't the City interested
in enforcing existing codes?
2) Private streets are another concern. There are many of these in our city, holdovers, from
developments many years ago. Now it is a situation where it is no longer clear that anyone is in charge.
Our block of Elizabeth Street is one such example. If you look at the plat map, the street doesn't look
like it belongs to anyone. It is in disrepair, but there is no clear way for it to be fixed.
3) The LDS church is apparently planning to change the space that has been a community garden behind
the 33rd Ward (453 S 1100E, 84102) into a parking lot. This is of great concern to me, both as a member
of the garden and a neighbor of the plot. It is in a historic district, and based on the zoning it seems
inappropriate.
Thanks for the opportunity to comment.
Happy to follow up with you

COMMUNITY EVENTS
Beginning in May and running through November of 2019, the City performed a grassroots citizen participation
effort where City staff attended community events to gather public input through existing forums where
opportunities existed to reach hundreds of people at a single event. Some of the events included:
The Rose Park Festival
The Sorenson CommUNITY Fair
Partners in the Park
Groove in the Grove
The Monster Block Party
And dozens more
City staff managed information booths and solicited input from residents in the form of interactive materials. It
is estimated that over 1,322 residents participated resulting in the following outcome:

Stakeholders and City staff voted on strategies which could be used to directly address the objectives of the
Consolidated Plan. It was indicated that client centered community-based case management, treatment
services for mental health and substance abuse, as well as the provision of housing, transit passes, and job
training to income-eligible residents were their top priorities to meet these five objectives.

DATE: February 7, 2020
RE: Proposed Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
Since May of 2019, Salt Lake City’s Housing & Neighborhood Development Division has been working on
creating the City’s 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, as required by the US Department of Housing & Urban
Development. Part of the Plan’s development has included engaging over 4,000 interested parties at
community events, focus groups, and an online survey. A draft of the plan is now ready for review and
consideration by the Planning Commission. We are formally requesting input from the Recognized Community
Councils within the City on the draft before we preset it to the Planning Commission.
Request Description:
The 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan is the City’s guiding document for expenditure of the following U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) entitlement funds: Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME), and Housing
Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA). These funds are intended to address disparities that exist in our
community impacting low income residents and/or low-income areas of the City. Through an extensive process,
the City has collaborated with over 4,000 interested parties in the development of the draft Plan. This includes
constituents, community partners, city experts, elected officials, state departments, and local municipalities.
Together, we have identified highest priority needs; service and funding gaps; actionable goals and strategies;
performance measurements and desired outcomes; and specific geographic areas of the city to focus
infrastructure improvements.
Over the US Department of Housing & Urban Development Program years of 2020 through 2024, Salt Lake City
Housing & Neighborhood Development will accept applications from non-profit partners, city divisions, and
other agencies that address the specific goals and strategies outlined in the plan. All projects/programs must
adhere to the applicable grant regulations, the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, and city policies.
Those interested in learning more about the Plan may visit https://www.slc.gov/hand/consolidated-plan/.
Housing & Neighborhood Development respectfully requests that all comments be submitted via the following
email address: consolidatedplan@slcgov.com.
Request for Input from Your Recognized Organization
As part of this process, the applicant is required to solicit comments from Recognized Organizations. The
purpose of the Recognized Organization review is to inform the community of the project and solicit
comments/concerns they have with the project. The Recognized Organization may also take a vote to
determine whether there is support for the project, but this is not required.
222
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
In general, the plan details specific ways in which CDBG, ESG, HOME, & HOPWA funding may be used to
address a wide variety of community needs. This includes goals and strategies around Affordable housing,
Transportation, Economic Development, Homeless Services, and Behavioral Health.
Per City Code 2.60.050 - The recognized community organization chair(s) have forty five (45) days to provide
comments, from the date the notice was sent. A public hearing will not be held, nor will a final decision be
made about the project within the forty five (45) day notice period. This notice period ends on the following
day:
March 23, 2020
Open House
The Planning Division will be holding an Open House to solicit comments on this project. Housing &
Neighborhood Development Division staff will be on hand to review and discuss the draft plan.
The Open House will be held on Thursday, February 20, 2020 from 5:00-7:00 PM in the 4th floor conference

Executive Director of Journey of Hope.
CDBG – Public Services Applicant. Agency: Journey of Hope. Project: Advocacy and Case Management Services.
Comments: Retired from law enforcement after 20 years of services. She set up programs for women getting
out of jail and prison, did as much work inside the system as she could. She started Journey of Hope, and
they’ve served 2,000 women in five years, with only 17% recidivism. Overall, their services have saved millions of
dollars to the State. Their second try for SLC CDBG funds for case management services to expand services to
girls who are aging out of the juvenile justice system. These girls have been sexually exploited and trafficked.
These girls turning to the Youth Resource Center as they have no family, where there are boys and gang
members who traffic girls. Had one young lady who was drugged and woke up in Las Vegas. One of the few
non-profits standing in the gap for girls/women leaving the justice system. They were not chosen for CDBG,
they’re the “little guys” and are new, they would like to be re-considered for CDBG funding.

7:26pm. She Executive Director of The INN Between. Applied for CDBG – Public Services, wasn’t recommended
by the CDCIP Board or the Mayor for funding. Hospice and Medical Respite for-Homeless.
Comments: Asked the Council to reconsider the non-recommendation for funding. Strong partnership with the
City. Before the agency existed, many homeless individuals were dying on the street without access to hospice
care, that cannot be delivered in shelters, campsites, or motels. They offer wrap around services and save the
area money. The Inn Between serves 40 individuals a night and is projected serve 30 more. They serve homeless
and non-homeless, those near medical bankruptcy. End of life care without having to go into shelter or hospital.
The Inn Between is a critical part of homeless services. They have the infrastructure, licensing and professional
staff in place. The new Homeless Resource Centers don’t have medical beds, and they’re able to fill that need.
The homeless resource centers are also at capacity. The Homeless Resource Center’s don’t have the ability to
care for people getting cancer treatment. Asking for only one half of 1% of total budget to serve the homeless,
60% of the clients come from Salt Lake City.

Dear Council Members:
I just got word that the Mayor and Salt Lake City Council will be cutting off funding for The Inn Between – this is
being sent as my plea that you carefully reconsider this decision.
The Inn Between is a wonderful organization that provides much needed, and otherwise lacking, services to the
homeless community. Its funding is limited, and this decision by the City Council and Mayor will have a
significantly detrimental impact on its ability to provide these services – which will in turn only contribute to our
homeless challenges. I plead with you to reconsider and continue the funding that is so needed to help
sustain this important organization. In these challenging times, it is even more important that organizations
like The Inn Between – and the mission it serves – receive our support.
Thank you.

Dear Salt Lake City Council Members,
I am a Salt Lake City resident and actually a neighbor of the Inn Between. I am also a member of The Inn
Between Board of Directors. Every month at our board meetings we hear a “mission moment” when a member
of the staff shares a story of an event at The Inn Between since we last met. Sometime it is about a reunification
with a resident and their extended family, sometimes it is about a residents last days and passing, always the
stories reflect the mission of The Inn Between to enhance the dignity of each resident wherever they are in their
life journey.
In this time of uncertainty, anxiety and fear, and human and economic crises, there are hard choices to be
made. While previous levels of funding may not be possible, I urge you to reconsider your funding decision
regarding the CDBG dollars. Any amount you can fund would be of great assistance in sustaining the vital work
of The Inn Between. The efforts of the staff of The Inn Between have been nothing less than heroic in protecting
the residents from contracting Covid-19. Continuing some level of funding assures them their efforts are not in
vain and that you too understand the importance of not forcing our residents to have to access services from
already overwhelmed medical services in our community or even worse, die in the streets.
Your consideration of this plea is much appreciated.

strongly encourage you to restore CDBG funding to this important asset in our community. As some of you
may know, I work to support students experiencing homelessness within the educational system. I have
become more acutely aware of the needs of all individuals experiencing homelessness. Compound that with a
terminal illness, or a need to be in a rehabilitation program for a long term condition, and the odds are not
good. As a community, we need to do better by our homeless friends. The Inn between provides a vital service
to our entire community. It allows those with no limited options, a place to die with dignity.

Dear Salt Lake City Council Members,
I am a resident of Salt Lake City and am very concerned that The INN Between receive proper funding from the
city.
Please reconsider the funding for The INN Between. The services they provide are critical to those at the end of
life and ultimately, to our community at large. We simply cannot turn our back on such a vulnerable population.
At the least, we should fund at previous levels if not beyond, given the difficult time that we’re in. Logic would
lead one to anticipate the population served by The INN Between is going to be more vulnerable to COVID19
and thus in need of their services. And, God forbid, should the infection result in more people dying before they
need to be admitted to The INN Between, there will still be people who will be in need of hospice care for other
reasons. This facility is desperately needed by the community much less by those whom it serves. The dignity
conveyed upon the dying is shared by those who exhibit such compassion. The city funds a small but critical
amount of the facility’s needs, but it’s probably that many corporate and personal contributions will be less this
year than in the past.
Thank you for your consideration of this. I could argue that this facility is needed even more than Allen Park.
Please prove to me that my community cares more for people than for birds. (I love birds and agree that we
deserve to have them in our midst, but not at the expense of caring for a human being as they die).

Dear City Council Members,
I have recently learned that the latest budget effort does not include funding for the homeless hospice, and I
ask you to reconsider. I know that you care and that all the choices you must make are hard. However, their
funding is only in the tens of thousands and every dollar is well spent to keep homeless people from dying by
emergency room visits. We will wind up having to pay for their medical expenses anyway, and the Inn Between
is a MUCH more efficient use of those relatively modest funds.

As a resident of Salt Lake City, I am asking you to please reconsider the much needed funding for the Inn
Between.
The important part they play in giving a safe place for those that would otherwise die on the streets is so
valuable, and allows them to at least die with dignity in a safe place.
When my late husband passed away in 2015 we were among the lucky ones, as the job he had held for only 6
months placed him on long term disability which gave us an income which allowed is to continue living in a
safe place, with the care he needed. Otherwise we would probably have landed on the street somewhere and
he wouldn't have had the care he received up until the end.
I do what little I can to support the Inn Between, and I am reaching out to you and asking that you do your part
to help them keep helping those that need it the most.

Dear Salt Lake City Council Members –
Everyone seems to talk a lot about what they’ll do for the homeless, but actions speak so much louder than
those words.
I just discovered that CDBG funding for The INN Between is at risk. The funding received by The INN Between in
the past is a small fraction of available CDBG funding and makes a tremendous difference in the sustainability
of its program.
This is all about dignity and compassion for dying homeless people. If the funding is going to be eliminated,
please provide me and the rest of the community with your reasoning.
I know there are a lot of competing claims for CDBG funding. For the eight years I served as Mayor, I went
through the grueling process of considering all requests and making the tough decisions for CDBG funding
recommendations. I was also aware that the priorities of City government were reflected in the funding
decisions recommended by the Mayor and ultimately made by the City Council.
Please count dying with dignity as a value supported by the City Council.

I am pleading to have continued funding for The Inn Between in this upcoming year; I speak as a family
member of Patricia Rice who died there Nov. 7, 2019. She was diagnosed with cirrhosis from Hepatitis C in
2007, continued to work at a SLC company until her disability prevented her from doing acceptable work, @
2013 when she went to full time disability through her employer and applied for Medicaid. She received a
waiver through Salt Lake County Aging Services and was able to live pretty independently that way at Wasatch
Manor with HUD funds until Sept. 2019 when too many falls made it impossible for her to live alone. Her
hospice agency and SLCounty Aging services expedited her move to The Inn Between the first week of Sept
2019 and she was able to live there with some level of dignity and safety until her death. She was care for very
tenderly and I have the greatest respect for all the staff and volunteers whose efforts let her die in dignity and
peace.
The population of poor and ill are the most voiceless in our community and I know we must speak for them
when their care and protection are threatened. They are not receiving luxuries, they are offered a clean place to
live in their dying days; some have shared rooms, there are clothes available from donations, arts/crafts
supplies are donated, classes are given by volunteers. This is a remarkable example of public/private/volunteer
collaboration to support these least of us in their times of need.
If anyone would like me to speak directly to the time my sister spent at The Inn Between, I am sheltering at
home (I live in the Liberty Wells section of SLCity) during this time of Coved19.
My telephone number is 801-674-0721, this is my email and I can use ZOOM. I can’t imagine the impact of
Coved 19 on the poor and homeless population of SLCity and that The Inn Between may be the last option for
more people next year than this year. This is not the time to cut their funds. Please reconsider.

Dear city council members,
Please reconsider your position on funding the Inn Between. This organization is the only one of its kind serving
the clients they help: homeless individuals who are dying and others who cannot get hospice or respite care
any other way. They desperately need funding support, so please reconsider the cut and fund them fully.

The Inn Between has emailed their supporters and asked them to send letters of support for funding.
As many of you know, I do not support funding The Inn Between. If the genesis/funding/operations of
organizations like this is typical, - then it will not stand out for you. Incompetence and grift should never be the
norm and I will speak out against it at every opportunity. I have already been attacked and opined upon by SLT
and Gehrke so I have nothing to hide from.
I don't have to tell you that the decision being made, based on models of a virus, are going to have devastating
effects on the economy as a whole. Places like The Inn Between will now stand out as the repellent example of
waste that they are.
1. The State granted them a license as an assisted living (AL). In order to be legal in zoning. They have
between 5-10 on the AL side.
2. The City granted them a license under eleemosynary and then housed the chronically homeless with NO
criteria for entry.
3. This is not a hospice and never has been! They have since rebranded and covered most of the signage that
indicates they are a hospice.
4. The appropriations committee gave them 1M dollars to buy a building that was sound and needed no work.
The attached pictures shows the current work taking place which includes a new roof/electrical/elevator/HVAC
to just name a few! This was possible from a federal grand that someone in this state gave them. I will be
researching more on that.
5. Within 5 months of opening they were over budget by $700,000.
6. They were over budget because they did not hire the required medical staff per AL licensing. They were
operating for 5 months without MA's. And guess what? Everyone was just fine. They operated for several
years at Goshen street without MA's. Why? Because they were not needed. So basically we are paying for
medical staff so that they can be legal in zoning they should not be in.
7. Drug deals, residents sneaking out at night, assaults, suicides all go on within this facility.
8. 911 calls from WITHIN this facility are significant and consistent.
9. Our City Council, Erin Mendenhall told us at a town hall that she would hold TIB accountable. Many on the
street, as well as myself, reached out to her with our concerns and proof of misdeeds. We never got a response.
249
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
The only way any improvements have been made at TIB is because myself and several others have held them
accountable.
This is the project of those that want to put homeless shelters in neighborhoods because somehow it will fix the
ills of these people. Senator Escamilla made that exact claim. While I am glad that people have a roof over
their head, it should not be at the expense of what was once a functioning street. The residents of Sherman
Ave. who could and understood the implications of housing the mentally ill and addicted, sold or moved and
got out of the neighborhood.
Stop rewarding incompetence.

I am employed by Rocky Mountain Community Reinvestment Corporation (RMCRC). In 2019 RMCRC provided
most of the financing for the acquisition and rehab of the current Inn Between facility.
Through its involvement RMCRC became uniquely aware of the cost savings to the City of Salt Lake and
emergency services and local hospital emergency rooms because of the Inn Between. RMCRC has since been
rapaid on its loan and funding of the INN Between will have no impact on it financially. The relatively few
dollars allocated to the Inn Between if withdrawn will substantially impact the City of Salt Lake’s expenditures
for emergency care and transit for this vulnerable and costly segment of the homeless population in the City.
We strongly urge you to support the INN Between by continuing your funding. It is pennies on the dollar
savings to the City of Salt Lake.

Hello,
I received an email from a friend with concerns about SLC cutting their funding for the Inn Between. While it represents
a low percentage of the Inn’s funding, any more cuts at this time would appear rather devastating because of funding
cuts from other private groups. Is there any rationale for cuts to those who would appear to be in dire need of medical
and hospice care? I assume patients at the Inn are sheltered in place and there must be restrictions on who may come
and go. If not, there should be enforcement of appropriate safe guards. I lost my husband to terminal cancer 2.5 yrs ago
after enduring 4.5 yrs of a lot of pain and suffering through treatments and the devastation of this disease. I can’t
imagine what lack of care and home comforts would be like for those at the end of their lives no matter the illness. That
goes for those who would need skilled nursing and medical care as well. We were so fortunate to have excellent care
and medical insurance.
I live withint 4-5 miles S of the Inn and am a SLCo resident. Certainly homelessness affects anyone in this area. A shelter
was already closed. The homeless disperse throughout the valley and areas near the City and end up in homes or on
other streets. It affects many areas and I applaud city and county efforts to address homelessness issues. I’m merely
expressing my concerns and have questions.
Thank you, and stay healthy.

As a former volunteer and public relations coordinator for the INN Between, I witnessed the achievement of this
small group of people firsthand. I count as friends the residents who passed through those doors. Their
colorful and tragic way of living left an indelible imprint that remains as part of the very fiber of my being. The
thought of a funding loss for such a worthy program is painfully disheartening and for want of a better word,
ludicrous.
Given the COVID outbreak, so many homeless are helplessly forced into death even earlier. Denied services by
hospitals all across the united states, they face horrendous conditions without help. The INN Between is one of
only TWO such facilities in the entire United States able to provide services to those who are terminally ill and
homeless. In and of itself, this is shameful. I am at a loss trying to fathom why you would cut funding.
Kim Correa and her incredible staff are tirelessly devoted to ensuring quality care for each and every patient in
this facility. For so many of us navigating the waters of COVID and staying alive is actually an ever-present
goal. Up to three months ago, it wasn't even a thought. For the residents of the INN Between and all the
homeless struggling to stay alive, this is the ever-present reality of daily living. Why would you want to
participate in any effort to undermine this herculean effort and support for the downtrodden?

respectfully ask you to reconsider your CDBG funding decision for The INN Between. Any amount you can fund
will help the sustainability of their program, particularly at a time when public health is a concern for all, with
vulnerable populations at even greater risk.
Thank you for your consideration,

Dear Salt Lake City Council,
My name is ___________, a student at the University of Utah and proud resident of Salt Lake City. I am writing to
you at this time as an advocate for The INN Between, a remarkable organization that I also volunteer for. The
INN Between is an incredibly charitable organization that provides invaluable services to many marginalized
residents of Salt Lake City. The INN Between provides a beacon of hope for numerous individuals suffering from
homelessness and provides an opportunity for them to get back on their feet and become valuable members of
the community. In my volunteer efforts, I have seen firsthand the benevolent services that are provided to the
occupants at The INN Between who deeply appreciate the care that they receive. I would ask that you please
consider renewing the public funds that are granted to the The INN Between via Salt Lake City's Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) program as this will drastically assist in helping provide vital services for some
of the most vulnerable populations of this great city.
Thank you for your great leadership for the residents of Salt Lake City during these extraordinary times.
Best,

Dear Council and Mayor -
I urge you to please find a way to fund the CDBG request for The INN Between. They do so much with so little,
and I can’t imagine a better use of a small portion of my taxes than toward this essential service.
The INN Between provides critical care to individuals who are homeless, largely due to terminal health
conditions. Please support allowing them to live out their remaining days in dignity, and for those few who
recover in their care, be a part of working miracles.
Yours in hope and gratitude -

Subject: (EXTERNAL) Bridge to Backman
Greeting City Council-
Thank you for considering the additional funding for the Bridge to Backman. I want to echo James Rodgers’
comments regarding the importance to funding the whole project. If not funded or only partially funded, this
would still leave a big empty eyesore in the Westside community. The empty lot we are wanting to improve
serves as a message to our community about the investment the city is willing to make in us. 900 South, on the
Eastside, gets ANOTHER facelift and Rose Park fails to be properly invested in. With the 600N/700N plan
underway, this is a great way to beautify and enhance the corridor. Please consider the importance of the
project on a school and community and needs and deserves beautiful spaces to enjoy.
Best,
Salt Lake City Council. Public Hearing, April 7th, 2020, 7pm, via WebEx, Facebook, and YouTube.

Comments:
She felt she could help women better outside of the criminal justice system than inside, wanted to address
women through a trauma informed lens. Journey of Hope offers services to women with high ACE scores,
institutionalized, homeless, evicted, victims of sexual violence and/or trafficking. They have served over 2,000
women in their program. Most will not recidivate if they have supportive services. 17% of their clients do not
return to incarceration. They offer mentorship for up to 18 months, and most don’t return to homelessness
after their treatment. 200 of their clients haven’t returned to homeless, after receiving their services. Their
agency needs the funding to serve people, please reconsider, there are many women and girls aging-out of
foster care/Juvenile Justice Services or slated to go to homeless shelters who are getting out of jail. She fears
those girls/women going to shelter will be exposed to trafficking or drugs.

Comments: Survivor of sexual and physical abuse, she got her first job out of incarceration at Journey of Hope.
Journey of Hope could do so much more in the state, they could flip the recidivism rate, which Utah is the
highest in the country. It’s difficult to pull people out of poverty if they don’t’ have enough staff support.
They’re the only agency that will go into all settings to serve women in the criminal justice system. Their
Executive Director understands the issues these girls/women face. Journey of Hope hires survivors to serve
other survivors. Please reconsider funding recommendations.

Comments: SVS is a domestic violence shelter that serves people affected by physical or sexual violence,
located in West Jordan. Though they serve residents of Salt Lake City through the Salt Lake City Library and the
Geraldine King Women’s Resource Center. This allows flexibility to meet survivors at places they’re at instead of
their agency. They serve over 400 domestic violence survivors a year. This improves their quality of life. Thank
you for recommendation for funding to provide case management in various SLC locations and the support for
South Valley Services.

7:43 pm. With Journey of Hope. Wants to inform you of how her experience working with Journey of Hope has
improved her life. With the agency she’s had the opportunity to work with women like her, who are getting out
of prison, to get sober and get custody of their children. She’s had the chance to work with domestic violence
and rape survivors and women coming out homelessness. She’s been able to turn her adverse childhood
experiences and turn it into hope for other women. Journey of Hope has empowered her to move forward and
help others find their voice and hope. She hopes the Council will consider them for their funding. Without the
funding they cannot help as many women. She wants to thank them for hearing her, and for all that they do.

Subject: (EXTERNAL) CDBG Funding Recommendations
Dear Council Members,
I am the Executive Director of Utah Health and Human Rights. We have provided wrap-
around services for refugee, immigrant, and asylee survivors of torture for 17 years. I
recognize that all the recommended CDBG projects focus on homeless services. I
attended all the consolidated plan stakeholder meetings and am disheartened to see that
programs that work tirelessly to prevent homelessness have been overlooked such as
265
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
ours. 99% of our clients have income less than 50% of the MFI. Our clients have
overcome the unimaginable in their home countries and continue to face obstacles with
mental health, poverty, language and cultural barriers, physical health, and ongoing
trauma. We are the only refugee service provider in Utah who provides services without
time limits. Survivors can access our services no matter how long that have been in the
U.S. and they can actively receive services for as long as they need, whether that is 8
months, or 8 years. Without our services many of our clients would face homelessness,
generational poverty and trauma, and chronic physical health needs. I hope that you will
consider funding our program as an essential service keeping Salt Lake City families
from entering homelessness.
Thank you,

APPENDIX C: 2020 – 2024 CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN
INTRODUCTION
The Citizen Participation Plan specifies the policies and procedures that encourage participation by Salt Lake City
residents in the planning, implementation, and ongoing evaluation of the City’s Consolidated Plan as required by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Citizen Participation Plan encourages participation from
citizens in neighborhoods that receive significant federal funding and from citizens living throughout the City. The
Consolidated Plan articulates how HUD funding will be used for the following programs:
● Community Development Block Grant (CDBG);
● Emergency Solutions Grant Program (ESG);
● Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME); and
● Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA).
Citizen participation in planning and implementing housing, public services, infrastructure, and economic development
activities is an essential step in creating vibrant, livable and sustainable cities that are responsive to resident’s needs. A
robust citizen participation process provides residents with an opportunity to improve their environment and equips local
elected officials with information regarding their constituent’s desires and priorities. If residents are involved in designing
programs that will improve their communities, it is more likely that projects and strategies will meet their needs.
Interested groups and individuals are encouraged to provide input into all aspects of the City’s consolidated planning
activities, including but not limited to assessing needs, setting priorities, and evaluating performance. This Citizen
Participation Plan offers numerous opportunities for citizens to contribute feedback regarding ways to provide decent
housing, establish and maintain a suitable living environment, invest in infrastructure, and expand economic opportunities,
particularly for low-and moderate-income (LMI) persons.
Salt Lake City’s Housing and Neighborhood Development Division (HAND) will be responsible for overseeing the
development and implementation of the applicable plans. The Citizen Participation Plan applies to the following:
● The five-year Consolidated Plan;
● The Annual Action Plan (AAP);
● The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER);
● Any substantial amendments to the five-year Consolidated Plan and/or annual Action Plan; and
● Amendments to the Citizen Participation Plan.
The City’s fiscal year begins July 1 of each year and ends June 30 of the following year. Each area of planning has its own
schedule and must be maintained to ensure compliance with HUD regulations and eligibility for future funding.
In all areas, the City will look to include the use of electronic communication, meetings, training, noticing, outreach, etc.
where appropriate so long as it is clearly communicated for participation by the general public.
HUD PROGRAMS
Salt Lake City receives four entitlement grants from HUD to help address th e City’s affordable housing, community, and
economic development needs. The four grant programs are described below:
1. Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG): Title I of the Housing and Community Development
Act of 1974 created the CDBG program. It was reauthorized in 1990 as part of the Cranston-Gonzalez National
Affordable Housing Act. The primary objective of the CDBG program is to develop viable urban communities
by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and by expanding economic development
opportunities for persons of low and moderate income. The City develops locally defined programs and funding
priorities for CDBG, but activities must address one or more of the national objectives of the CDBG program.
The three national objectives are: (1) to benefit low- and moderate- income persons; (2) to aid in the prevention
or elimination of slums or blight; and/or (3) to meet other urgent community development needs. The City’s
CDBG program emphasizes activities that directly benef it low and moderate-income persons.
282
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
2. Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG): The ESG Program is authorized by the Steward B. McKinney Homeless
Assistance Act of 1987 and was amended by the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to
Housing (HEARTH) Act of 2009. The ESG Interim Rule took effect on January 4, 2012. The change in the
program’s name, from Emergency Shelter Grants to Emergency Solutions Grants, reflects the change in the
program’s focus from addressing the needs of homeless people in emergency or transitional shelters to assisting
people to quickly regain stability in permanent housing after experiencing a housing crisis and/or homelessness.
The ESG program provides funding to address five program components: street outreach, emergency shelt er,
homelessness prevention, rapid re-housing assistance, and HMIS; as well as administrative activities.
3. HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME): HOME was introduced in the Cranston-Gonzalez National
Affordable Housing Act of 1990 and provides funding for housing rehabilitation, new housing construction,
acquisition of affordable housing, and tenant -based rental assistance. A portion of the funds (15 percent) must be
set aside for Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO) certified by t he City.
4. Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA): HOPWA funds may be used to assist housing
designed to meet the needs of persons with HIV/AIDS, including the prevention of homelessness. Supportive
services may also be included. HOPWA grants are allocated to Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Areas (EMSAs)
with a high incidence of HIV/AIDS. The City receives HOPWA funds that can be utilized in Salt Lake County,
Tooele County and Summit County.
CITIZEN ADVISORY BOARDS
The City uses advisory boards to assist in the recommendation of funding for these grant programs. CDBG & ESG
applications are reviewed by the Community Development and Capital Improvements Program Advisory Board (CDCIP).
The HOME & HOPWA applications are reviewed by the Housing Tru st Fund Advisory Board (HTFAB). These advisory
boards are made up of a diverse resident base that allows for additional community input. The recommendation of the
board is used by the Mayor and City Council as final funding allocations are determined.
If a member of the public is interested in serving on the CDCIP or HTF Advisory Boards, please contact Housing and
Neighborhood Development to learn how you can help direct the efforts of the city at www.slcgov.com/hand. The City
encourages diversity among its boards and encourage constituents from a wide variety of backgrounds, and experiences to
apply for volunteerism on this and other city boards.
During the development of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, the City consulted with businesses, developers, and
nonprofit organizations, as well as philanthropic, community, and faith -based organizations. Representatives from these
various entities served on a Stakeholder Advisory Committee and provided valuable input r egarding suggested priorities
for unmet, unfunded needs. In addition, these stakeholders provided direction regarding the strategies the City could
employ to help address those needs with the federal funding available through the Consolidated Plan. This in put is
reflected in the Consolidated Plan and will help to guide how the funding is used over the five-year period.
Salt Lake City will continue to use advisory boards as a way to receive community input and encourage citizens to play an
active role in decision making processes. The advisory boards will provide recommendation for funding to the Mayor &
City Council for consideration. The Mayor may elect to change which advisory board(s) responsible for review and
recommendation of these grant sources, wit hout further impact to this Plan or associated Plans.
PUBLIC HOUSING AGENC Y (PHA)
The City will provide information about consolidated plan activities to the Housing Authority of Salt Lake City (HASLC)
and the Salt Lake County Housing Authority, “Housing Connect.” This will allow HASLC and Housing Connect to make
this information available at the annual public hearing required for the Public Housing Authority (PHA) Plan.
MEASURING SUCCESS
The City will explore alternative public involvement techniques and quantitative approaches to measuring the success of
efforts related to the Consolidated Plan. These techniques could include various online engagement tools such as online
surveys, discussion forums, GIS-based interactive maps with public comment layers, social media analytics, and/or other
quantitative approaches.
283
Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan
2020-2024
DISPLACEMENT OF PERS ONS
SLC will adhere to and uphold all requirements under the Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance Real P roperty
Acquisition Act of 1970. The City will continue to explore other methods to ensure that displacement is minimized where
applicable.
PUBLIC NOTICE
The City will provide advanced public notice once when a planning activity subject to the Citizen Pa rticipation Plan
occurs. When appropriate, public notices, announcements, draft documents, and final documents may be provided as
follows:
1. Press Releases issued by the Office of the Mayor;
2. Written Public Notices, provided in both English and Spanish;
3. Post ing of written Public Notices on the State’s Public Notice website;

SALT LAKE CITY PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT GUIDE
In September 2019, Salt Lake City updated the Salt Lake City Public Engagement Guide. The document has been
accepted by the legislative body (though not officially adopted by the City Council), and serves as a framework for use by
all Departments, Divisions, and employees as they engage the public in City decisions. The Salt Lake City Public
Engagement Guide was developed in conjunction with the Open Government Initiative and principles of the International
Association for Public Participation (IAP2). The Salt Lake City Public Engagement Guide is a tool designed to assist city
employees in determining the scope and appropriate level of public engagement necessary for a successful process.
Issues of culture, language, income and protected classes come into play when the specific and/or unique stakeholders are
identified, based on the characteris tics and intent of a particular plan, program or process being discussed. This guide will
be used in the programming and implementation of gaining the greatest level of meaningful participation with the citizens
of Salt Lake City.
PLANNING ACTIVITIES SUBJ ECT TO THE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN
General Needs Hearing
Each year, during the grant application period, the City will host a General Needs Hearing. The public is invited to attend
the hearing and provide input on the general needs within their communit y. This may include gaps in services, housing
opportunities, neighborhood improvements, the provision of public service, and other needs. Information gathered at the
General Needs Hearing will be used to prioritize funding to address community needs.
To reach a wide variety of residents, Housing and Neighborhood Development may outreach to the public using the
following forums:
1. Public Notice that meets State public noticing requirements in advance to HAND’s comprehensive email/mailing
list in both English and Spanish;
2. Press Release, released through the Mayor’s Office

requirements as advised by and under the input of the City Attorney. This includes and is not limited to hosting remote
meetings as necessary.
Community Input/Public Engagement
On an annual basis before the Advisory Boards make funding recommendations for the CDBG, ESG, HOME, or HOPWA
funding, the City will conduct a widespread effort to ensure that a wide variety of community members have the ability to
provide input into funding priorities. The method of this effort may change from year to year, however, it is always the
goal of the City to s pecifically outreach to community members that are more likely to use the services and programs
supported by these funding sources. Each year the efforts will enhance and improve the outreach to vulnerable
populations, communities of color, disadvantaged p opulations, and will always include outreach within CDBG eligible
areas and/or areas of high poverty.
Consolidated Plan
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requirements dictate that the City must have a Consolidated Plan.
This is a five-year strategic plan that identifies community development and housing needs within the community. This
document must specify short -term and long-term objectives that provide for decent housing, a suitable living environment,
and expanded economic opportunity primarily for persons of low and moderate income.
Salt Lake City's 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan is a strategic plan focused on increasing opportunity in neighborhoods with
concentrated poverty and supporting the City's most vulnerable populations. The five-y ear plan provides a strategy for
maximizing and leveraging the City's block grant allocations to build healthy and sustainable communities that connect
and expand opportunities for residents.
Many steps were taken to determine the community needs and solicit feedback from the community, interested parties,
stakeholders and government partners. Below is a list of events, activities and reports that were completed:
The public was invited to comment on the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan draft document before adoption by the City
Council. Printed copies of the Consolidated Plan Executive Summary were made available for public review and

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
AP-05 Executive Summary 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
Salt Lake City’s 2020-2021 Action Plan is the product of a collaborative, strategic process that spans community
partners, service providers, non-profit/for-profit housing developers, housing authorities, internal
divisions/departments, and the in put of our citizens. Housing and Neighborhood Development (HAND) has
worked extensively to identify community development needs and establish goals that align funding streams,
community priorities and city initiatives. This plan highlights many of the effo rts to maximize and leverage the
City’s block grant allocations with other resources to build healthy and sustainable communities.
The 2020-2021 Action Plan identifies how the City intends to leverage the Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME), and Housing
Opportunities for Persons With Aids (HOPWA) funding. These four resources will provide for over $5.4 million in
support for low to moderate income households or areas of the city.
Similar to cities across the country, Salt Lake City is faced with growing income inequality, increasing poverty
levels, decreasing housing affordability and diminishing federal resources. We are also grappling with the
immediate, mid-term and long-term impacts of the Coronavirus, wh ich is sure to have lasting impacts on our
community. This Action Plan works to address concerns within each of these needs by continuing to develop
and refine new and collaborative strategies. The following highlights a few of the initiatives and efforts that the
City is excited about:
Salt Lake City has gone through a robust community engagement process in the development of the
2020-2024 Consolidated Plan (Con Plan) and the 2020-2021 Action Plan. These planning efforts have
provided the City with a clear vision of the needs in the community and a framework for strategic and
targeted deployment of funding. The Con solidated Plan will serve as the foundation and guide as the
City implements block grant funding over the next five years. Each program identified in the 2020-2021
Action Plan meets one of the five goals as outlined in the Con solidated Plan and below. Additionally,
the programs will serve as the catalyst to implement the strategies tied to each of the five goals.
o Housing – Provide expanded housing options for all economic and demographic segments of
Salt Lake City’s population will diversifying the housing stock within neighborhoods.
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
5 | P a g e
o Transportation – Promote accessibility and affordability of multimodal transport ation options.
o Build Community Resiliency – Build resiliency by providing tools to increase economic and/or
housing stability.
o Homeless Services – Expand access to supportive programs that help ensure that
homelessness is rare, brief, and non -recurring.
o Behavioral Health – Provide support for low -income and vulnerable populations experiencing
behavioral health concerns such as substance abuse disorders and mental health challenges.
In January 2020 Erin Mendenhall was sworn in as the 36th Mayor of Salt Lake City. Mayor Mendenhall’s
Administration is focused on breaking down equity barriers within Salt Lake City and providing
opportunities for upward mobility for residents regardless of race, income, age or ability. Ensuring a
diverse and equitable community is at the foundation of the City’s guiding principles. The City strives
to understand the needs of underrepresented residents and will be embarking on a gentrification and
equity study in the coming year to help shape future policy and program decisio ns.
Salt Lake City in partnership with Salt Lake County, the State, and community -based organizations is
working to rapidly respond to the community impact from the Coronavirus (aka COVID-19) and a 5.7
magnitude earthquake that occurred on March 18, 2020. These tragic events have further emphasized
the need for affordable housing in our community and the need for resources has never been greater.
The City has applied for PY 19/20 waivers for service providers to provide flexibility and deployment of
resources. Additionally, the City is working on a substantial amendment to the PY 19/20 Action Plan,
Consolidated Plan, and Citizen Participation Plan in anticipation of the CARES Act funding award. Salt
Lake City will have an accelerated, but competitive appli cation process for our community partners to
address the immediate and pressing needs as they are responding to the COVID-19 crisis.
Salt Lake City conducted a survey in which 37 community partners responded to help the City
understand how community and organization needs have shifted during the pandemic. These survey
results have helped to identify the need in the community and organizational capacity to implement
programs in response to COVID-19. Additionally, the City hosted an “Ask Me Anything” on Fa cebook
that provided residents with an opportunity to ask housing related questions. Additionally, numerous
outreach materials have been created and distributed to guide residents to services.
The City has been a constant leader in the Salt Lake Valley C oalition to End Homelessness (Coalition)
which is a coordinated coalition of stakeholders working collaboratively to end homelessness in Salt
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
6 | P a g e
Lake County. In the fall of 2019, the Coalition transitioned homeless shelters to a Homeless Resource
Center (HRC) model. The HRC’s provide residents housing stability and case management services to
assist clients in overcoming barriers to self -sufficiency. The HRC’s provide a multitude of services
include housing navigation, job training, employment services, life s kills, and connection to community
resources. The HRC’s will continue to be an important and critical service in our community and will lift
our most vulnerable residents out of homelessness.
Salt Lake City supports the Housing First model , that housing is a right not a privilege. This view shapes
housing policy and program implementation. Salt Lake City is working closely with community partners
to provide opportunities for permanent supportive housing. This model provides the City’s vulnerable
residents with critical services to find stability, self -sufficiency, and upward mobility.
Small community businesses serve as the life blood of Salt Lake City. They not only provide
opportunities for employment but also build the fabric of diversity within the C ity. Salt Lake City will
continue to support our small, locally owned businesses by providing economic development loan
funding through City resources. The COVID-19 crisis has impacted small, local businesses at a
devastating level. The City is committed t o ensuring that small, local businesses are able to open safely,
and survive this economic crisis.
While this is just a sampling of many of the exciting efforts the city is undertaking to address the needs in our
community, it is fair to say that while f ederal funding plays an important role in our ability to leverage and
maximize long term impact, it is – and will continue to be a struggle as funding continues to be constantly
challenged. As a city we look to other communities, best practices, etc. to fi nd the most effective methods of
deploying these limited resources.
In an effort to engage and leverage best practices across the nation, HAND participates in training
opportunities, attends national conferences, contributes to regional planning conversat ions, and looks for
opportunities to advocate not only for affordable housing, but also for addressing the gaps of funding or
services that exist in our community.
2. Summarize the Goals and Strategies identified in the Plan
This Year-1 Action Plan establishes and addressed several Goals and Strategies as outlined in the 2020-2024

6) Administration -- To support the administration, coordination, and management of Salt Lake
City’s CDBG, ESG HOME, and HOPWA programs.
Salt Lake City's strategy for most-effec tively utilizing HUD funding is heavily influenced by the City's housing
market study, the City’s Five Year Housing Plan , the annual Utah Comprehensive Report on Homelessness, and
the adopted Salt Lake City Master Plans that highlight strategic neighborhoo d investment opportunities.
3. Evaluation of past performance
Salt Lake City deliberately monitors the process of advancing the strategic goals outlined in the newly adopted
2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. This plan , like the previous 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan was developed with
input from many stakeholders, and it is our responsibility to report back to US Department of Housing & Urban
Development (HUD), the residents, community and decision makers the impact of these funds. As we complete
the time period associated with the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan, here is an evaluation of progress during that
time period
In preparation for development of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and 2020-2021 Action Plan, Salt Lake City’s
Housing and Neighborhood Developmen t Division reviewed Consolidated Annual Performance Reports
(CAPERs) submitted to HUD under the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan. The CAPERs provide an evaluation of past
performance and accomplishments in relation to established goals and priorities. The City’s previous Action
Plans and CAPERs can be viewed at www.hudexchange.info/programs/consolidated-plan/con-plans-aaps-
capers/.
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
9 | P a g e
During the course of the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan, the City has been able to meet the vast majority of
established goals and priorities. In addition, the City was able to comply with statutes and regulations set by
HUD.
SALT LAKE CITY 2015-2019 CONSOLIDATED PLAN ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Goal Description Estimated Projected
1 Improve and Expand the Affordable Housing Stock 1,325 1,430
2 Expand Homeownership Opportunities 110 70
3 Provide Housing & Related Services to Persons with HIV/AIDS 725 925
4 Provide Housing for Homeless & At -Risk of Homel ess Individuals and Families 965 3,217
5 Provide Day-to-Day Services for Homeless Individuals & Families 15,000 7,380
6 Provide Public Services to Expand Opportunity & Self -Sufficiency for At -Risk
Populations 35,000 24,385
7 Revitalize Business Nodes in Target Areas 75 50
8 Improve the Quality of Public Facilities 1,093 1,344
9 Improve Infrastructure in Distressed Neighborhoods & Target Areas 100,000 139,112
All the goals surrounding homeownership continued to be a struggle as the city experiences a sustained, rapid
increase in housing prices and land values. This created challenges on two fronts, one being finding an eligible
household that can afford the housing units long term. The other is finding units available to purchase to utilize
for affordable housing. Often , single family homes are on the market mere moments before very competitive
offers come in. Unfortunately, municipalities are not set up to quickly react as housing becomes available. That
often means that the city ends up paying more fo r a unit that requires a lot of rehabilitation to bring it up to
city code. These increased costs must be carefully weighed as housing can easily out price available federal
subsidies and regulatory limitations.
In 2016, the City launched a new economic development program to address the façade of businesses within
the geographic target area of the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan. The reception of the program and impact has
been terrific, even though our initial projections proved to be overly optimistic for an entirely new program.
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
10 | P a g e
Over the past several years, the City has taken a different approach to homeless services. This includes making a
city commitment of over $2 million from general fund sources. As homelessness continues to be an issue that
needs to be addressed, the city took the approach of shifting many of the service providers from this
competitive annual process to the general fund. Additionally, Salt Lake City has further invested general fund
dollars into homeless services through the Funding Our Future sales tax increase initiative. This shift allowed the
city to invest significantly more f unding, provide local direction, closely monitor performance measurements,
and provide flexibility that makes sense for the local challenges we face. It is important to reiterate that the city
continues to be committed to providing and expanding services for the homeless population. This also means
that federal resources are being diverted to address other Plan goals, while the city is taking the opportunity to
leverage local resources.
Providing public services to our community fell short. Over the past few years, the City modified its strategy for
spending in this category, providing more services to a smaller group of people that are in greatest need. Thi s
has been a successful strategy thus far, though it does mean the City is serving a smaller total number of
individuals.
Salt Lake City will soon be receivin g final reports regarding 19-20 funding. This data will drive future decisions
about funding allocation. This data will also be fully reflected in the upcoming Consolidated Annual
Performance Evaluation and Report (CAPER).
4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process
Citizen participation is an integral part of the Consolidated Plan & Action Plan planning process, as it ensures
goals and priorities are defined in the context of the community needs and preferences. In addition, th e citizen
participation process provides a format to educate the community about the City’s federal grant programs. To
this end, Salt Lake City solicited involvement from a diverse group of stakeholders and community members
during the development of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and 2020-2021 Action Plan. A comprehensive
public engagement process included a citywide survey (including 2,000+ respondents), public hearings, public
meetings, one-on-one meetings, stakeholder committee meetings, task force meetings, Salt Lake City internal
technical committee meetings, and a public comment period. In total, over 4,000 residents participated in
providing input into this plan.
The City received input and buy -in from residents, homeless service providers. Low -income service providers,
anti-poverty advocates, healthcare providers, housing advocates, housing devel opers, housing authorities,
community development organizations, educational institutions, transit authority planners, City divisions and
departments, among others. For more information on the citizen participation efforts, refer to the AP-10
Consultation .
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
11 | P a g e
The City held three public hearings at different points in the process. The General Needs Hearing is an event
open to the public to comment on community needs. HAND accepts all comments and looks to understand
how federal funding can address these concer ns. The concerns that are not within the prevue of the federal
funding is passed along to the appropriate City Department. The City Council Public Hearing is an opportunity
for the public and non-profit partners to comment on how federal funding may impact their neighborhoods or
the services being provided. This year, City Council held-over the initial public hearing for a second public
hearing two weeks later. This is because the City had just entered into an electronic meeting space due to
COVID-19 and Council wanted to ensure that constituents had as much opportunity for input into the process.
More detail about these events is available in the AP-12 Participation section.
5. Summary of public comments
A summary of the public comments can be found in th e appendix of the finalized 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan.
All comments were received and considered while creating this 2020-2021 Action Plan. In general, the
comments submitted through both the General Needs Hearing and the City Council Public Hearing s were very
positive. The comments received during the City Council Hearing typically related to the support of funding a
specific agency. Topics included homelessness, housing, social service programs, youth advocacy, youth
protections, health services, and addressing the special needs of populations such as refugees, aging or
disabled residents. While most comments did advocate for a specific organization, many comments were
based on sound evidence to make a point about service delivery creating powerful nar ratives that advanced the
issue being addressed beyond a simple funding request.

AP-10 Consultation 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)
Introduction
The City engaged in an in -depth and collaborative effort to consult with City departments, representatives of low -income
neighborhoods, non -profit and for-profit housing developers, service providers, social service agencies, homeless sh elter
and service providers, supportive housing and service providers, community stakeholders, community partners, and
beneficiaries of entitlement programs to inform and develop the priorities and strategies contained within the
Consolidated Plan. Salt Lake City continues to engage these critical partners regularly as we look to maximize our potential
impact on an annual basis.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between public and
assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies
(91.215(l))
The Salt Lake City Mayor and key staff worked this year with the State legislature on a bill that has increased access to
Medicaid for the most vulnerable members of our c ommunity. Proposition 3 and SB96 have expanded Medicaid access to
an estimated 70,000 – 90,000 people across the state. Recently, the City has also passed a city -wide sales tax increase
which has allotted over $5 million for housing programs across the cit y. This funding source has increased funding for
programs that provide housing for the chronically homeless, homeless, mentally ill, children, developers, and people on the
verge of becoming homeless, amongst others.
The City is also a key participant in Salt Lake County's Collective Impact process which is responsible for coordinating a
new homeless care model. This effort is driven by improving service delivery to all individuals who may enter homelessness
for any period of time.
Lastly, the City is v ery active in working with State Legislators at crafting legislation that can positively impact housing.
Recently this has include working on bills such as SB34, SB39, and SB3006. Each of these bills are critical at supporting
affordable housing in the State.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons
(particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and
unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homele ssness
Salt Lake City representatives actively participated in the Salt Lake Valley Coalition to End Homelessness (SLVCEH), the
entity responsible for oversight of the Continuum of Care (CoC). SLVCEH’s primary goal is to end homelessness in Salt Lake
Valley through a system -wide commitment of resources, services, data collection, analysis and coordination among all
stakeholders. The Coalition gathers community consensus to create and fulfill established outcomes. Using these goals, the
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
14 | P a g e
Coalition partners with key stakeholders to fill the needs of the Salt Lake County Valley community. City representatives
served on the SLVCEH Steering Committee and actively participated in meetings and efforts.
Salt Lake City representatives participate in the local Continu um of Care's (CoC) executive board and its prioritization
committee specifically, so the Continuum of Care's priorities are considered during Emergency Solutions Grant allocations.
Also, the three local Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funders meet regularl y to coordinate ESG and CoC activities to make
sure service are not being over or under funded and services being funded meet the community's needs and goals.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in deter mining how to
allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities
assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of
HMIS
Allocate ESG Funds
Salt Lake City representatives participate in the local Continuum of Care's executive board and its prioritization committee
specifically, so the Continuum of Care's priorities are considered during Emergency Solutions Grant allocations. Also, the
three local ESG funders meet regularly to coordinate ESG and CoC activities to make sure service are not being over or
under funded and services being funded meet the community's needs and goals.
Develop Performance Standards and Evaluate Outcomes
The Salt Lake Continuu m of Care and the three ESG funders share common measures to evaluate service providers. The
three entities also share monitoring results of subrecipients.
Develop Funding, Policies and Procedures for the Administration of HMIS
The Salt Lake Continuum of Care contracts with the State of Utah to administer the Homeless Management Information
System (HMIS). All service agencies in the state are under a uniform data standard for HUD reporting and local ESG
funders. All ESG funded organizations participate in HMIS.

AP-12 Participation 91.105, 91.200(c)
1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation
Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal-setting
The City seeks to develop and enhance livable, healthy, and sustainable neighborhoods through r obust
planning and actions that reflect the needs and values of the local community. The City has stayed true to its
values of inclusiveness and innovation by embracing opportunities to provide equitable services, offer funding,
and create housing opportun ities that improve lives for individuals and families in underserved and under -
resourced communities.
The City recognizes that citizen participation is critical for the development of a Consolidated Plan that reflects
the needs of affected persons and residents. In accordance with 24 CFR 91.105, the City solicited robust citizen
participation over the course of an entire year. Between May 2019 and May 2020, over 4,000 residents,
stakeholders, agency partners, and City officials participated through proacti ve, community-based outreach,
facilitated stakeholder engagement, and online surveys. The City involved affected persons and residents
through stakeholder consultation, a community survey, community events, public meetings, public hearings,
public comment periods, and one-on-one consultations. The following provides a synopsis of these efforts.
The City created a survey to solicit feedback from residents regarding their priorities for the provision of
housing, economic development, and public services in the most underserved and under-resourced areas of
the community. The survey and all accompanying materials were translated into Spanish, with additional
language translation services available upon request.
The survey was posted on the City website and so cial media platforms, third-party digital applications like
Nextdoor and was distributed to thousands of residents through the City’s email listserv. In addition, digital
flyers with Quick Response (QR) codes were created and distributed to stakeholder adv isory and
interdepartmental working group members. Members of these groups were asked to distribute the flyer to their
respective constituencies.
The survey fielding occurred from August 15 through September 30, 2019 with a total of 2,068 respondents
completing it. Respondents ranked homeless and transportation services as their top priorities for City services.
Street improvements, job creation and rental assistance were the top priorities for community, economic
development, and housing investments, resp ectively.
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
28 | P a g e
Respondents identified Poplar Grove, Fairpark, and Ballpark as areas of the City with the most unmet needs for
underserved individuals and families. The overwhelming majority of residents did not feel that the current
housing stock was sufficien t to meet the needs of a growing City, particularly for low -income populations,
seniors, and individuals with disabilities.
Since the survey was open to anyone who wanted to take it, results may have included self -selection bias. To
supplement these results with a more representative understanding of resident sentiment, the City also
compared them with the recently completed annual resident survey results. Both surveys showed that residents
wanted more housing and transportation investments for underserved areas of the community.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds),
including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
HUD, like many other federal agencies, encourages the recipients of federal monies to demonstrate that efforts
are being made to strategically leverage additional funds in order to achieve greater re sults. Matches require
subrecipients to produce a specific amount of funding that will “match” the amount of program funds available.
In a US Dept of Housing & Urban Development memo from John Gibbs, Acting Assistant Secretary for
Community Planning and Development (D), dated April 10, 2020, re: Availability of Waivers and Suspensions of
the HOME Program Requirements in Response to COVID-19 Pandemic, Salt Lake City intends to maximize the
waiver and suspension of HOME match requirements.
HOME Investment Partnership Program – 25% Match Requirement
As per #4 of the above mentioned memo, Matching Contribution Requirements, given the urgent housing
and economic needs created by COVID -19, and substantial financial impact the Participating Jurisdiction (PJ)
will face in addressing those needs, wavier of these regulations (24 CFR 92.218 and 92.222(b)) will relieve the
PJ from the need to identify ad provide matching contr ibutions to HOME projects.
Emergency Solutions Grant – 100% Match Requirement
Salt Lake Cit y will ensure that ESG match requirements are met by utilizing the leveraging capacity of its
subgrantees. Funding sources used to meet the ESG match requirements include federal, state and local
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
37 | P a g e
grants; private contributions; private foundations; United Way; Continuum of Care funding; City General
Fund; in -kind match and unrestricted donations.
Fund Leveraging
Leverage, in the context of the City’s four HUD Programs, means bringing other local, state, and federal
financial resources in order to maximize the reach and impact of the City’s HUD Programs. Resources for
leverage include the following:
Housing Choice Section 8 Vouchers
Low Income Housing Tax Credits
New Market Tax Credits
RDA Development Funding
Salt Lake City Housing Trust Fund (HTF)
Salt Lake City Economic Development Loan Fund (EDLF)
Salt Lake City General Fund
Olene Walker Housing Loan Fund
Industrial & Commercial Bank Funding
Continuum of Care Funding
Foundations & Other Philanthropic Partners
If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be
used to address the needs identified in the plan
Salt Lake City intends to expand affordable housing and economic development opportunities through the
redevelopment of C ity-owned land, strategic land acquisitions, expansion of the Community Land Trust for
affordable housing, parcel assembly, and disposition. The Housing and Neighborhood Development Division
will work collaboratively with other City Divisions that oversee or control parcels that are own ed by the City to
evaluate the appropriateness for affordable housing opportunities.
Discussion:
Salt Lake City will continue to seek other federal, state and private funds to leverage entitlement grant
funding. In addition, the City will support the pro posed community development initiatives outlined in
this Plan through strategic initiatives, policies, and programs.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
As entitlement funding decreased considerably over the past decade, the city is taking a strategic approach to
directing funding. Priorities include expanding affordable housing opportunit ies throughout the city, providing
critical services for the city’s most vulnerable residents, expanding self -sufficiency for at-risk populations, and
improving neighborhood conditions in concentrated areas of poverty.
The City and partners are unable to fully address needs due to a lack of funding and resources. To address the
lack of resources, the City will continue to engage with community development organizations, housing
providers, housing developers, service providers, community councils, City depa rtments, local businesses,
residents, and other stakeholders to develop strategies for increasing impacts and meeting gaps in services.

AP-50 GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION – 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and
minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
Locally-defined target areas provide an opportunity to maximize impact and align HUD funding with existing
investment while simultaneously addressing neighb orhoods with the most severe needs. According to HUD
standards, a Local Target Area is designed to allow for a locally targeted approach to the investment of CDBG
and other federal funds.
The target area for the entirety of the associated Consolidated Plan period, will be ident ified as, “West Side
Target Area”, as shown on the map below. CDBG and other federal funding will be concentrated, but not
necessarily limited to, the target area. Neighborhood and community nodes will be identified and targeted to
maximized community impact and drive further neighborhood investment. During this Action Plan period,
infrastructure projects such as transportation projects and commercial façade improvements will be limited to
this target area. Housing activities will happen citywide, however, a more concentrated marketing strategy for
rehabilitation efforts will be deployed in the West Side Target Area as an opportunity to expand housing
stability.
FIGURE: 2020-2024 WEST SIDE CDBG TARGET AREA
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
54 | P a g e
Salt Lake City’s HUD entitlement funds are geographically distributed with the following priorities:
The CDBG program’s primary objective is to promote the development of viable urban communities by
providing decent housing, suitable living environments and expanded economic activities to persons of lo w and
moderate income. To support the CDBG program’s primary objectives, Salt Lake City is taking a two -pronged
approach to the distribution of funding:
1. Direct funding to local target areas to build capacity and expand resources within concentrated
areas of poverty.
2. Utilize funding citywide, in accordance with meeting a national objective, to support the city’s
most vulnerable populations, including the chronically homeless, homeless families, food -insecure
individuals, the disabled, persons living with HIV/AIDS, victims of domestic violence and the low -
income elderly.
The ESG program’s primary objective is to assist individuals and families regain housing stability after
experiencing a housing or homelessness crisis. ESG funding is distributed citywide to support emergency
shelter, day services, resource centers, rapid re-housing and homeless prevention activities. The majority of
funding is target to Salt Lake City’s urban core, as this is where the highest concentration of homeless services
are located.
The HOME program’s primary objective is to create affordable housing opportunities for low -income
households. HOME funding is distributed citywide to provide direct financial assistance to homebuyers, tenant -
based rental assistance, acquisition, and rehabi litation.
The HOPWA program’s primary objective is to provide housing assistance and related supportive services to
persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families. HOPWA funding is distributed throughout the Salt Lake City
MSA, including Salt Lake, Summi t, and Tooele counties, to provide project-based rental assistance, tenant-
based rental assistance, short-term rental assistance, and supportive services. The majority of funding is utilized
in Salt Lake County, as the majority of HIV/AIDS services are loc ated in the Salt Lake area.

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
55 | P a g e
The Target Area was identified through an extensive process that analyzed local poverty rates, low -and
moderate-income rates, neighborhood conditions, citizen input, and available resources.
A recent fair housing equity assessment (May 2018) completed by the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute at the
University of Utah states that there is a housing shortage in Utah, with the supply of new homes and existing
“for sale” homes falling short of demand. While the impact of higher housing prices is widespread, affecting
buyers, sellers, and renters in all income groups, the report concludes that those households below the median
income, and particularly low -income households, are disproportionately hurt by higher housing prices. In fact,
households with incomes below the median have a 1 in 5 chance of a severe housing cost -burden, paying at
least 50% of their income toward housing, while households with incomes above the median have a 1 in 130
chance.1
Discussion
The City’s west side and central corridor continue to have economic disparities that can be addressed through
investments of CDBG funding. Expanding and building upon the target areas of the 2015 -2019 Consolidated
Plan, will allow the city to continue to focus resources in a meaningful way. The first year of this plan is a
transition year and will see a small level of i nvestment at approximately 12%. The city will look to grow that in
future years that will ultimately end up in investments closer to 35% on an annual basis. While not limited to
the target area, housing rehabilitation efforts will be heavily marketed in th e target area. For the 2020-2021
Action Plan, this includes efforts of partners such as ASSIST, NeighborWorks, and Salt Lake City ’s Housing &
Neighborhood Development (HAND). Each organization provides housing rehabilitation services targeted to
low-to-moderate income households. Marketing these programs will help ensure that aging housing stock
does not fall into disrepair or become blighted. Throughout this Plan period and beyond, t he City will leverage
and strategically target funding for neighborhood im provements, transportation improvements, and economic
development to maximize impact within targeted neighborhoods.

AP-60 PUBLIC HOUSING
Introduction
The Housing Authority of Salt Lake City (HASLC) is responsible for managing the public housing inventory,
developing new affordable housing units and administering the Housing Choice voucher programs for the City.
The Authority strives to provide affordable housing opportunities throughout the communit y by developing
new or rehabilitating existing housing that is safe, decent, and affordable – a place where a person’s income
level or background cannot be identified by the neighborhood in which they live.
In addition to the development and rehabilitation of units, the HASLC also manages several properties
emphasizing safe, decent, and affordable housing that provides an enjoyable living environment that is free
from discrimination, efficient to operate, and remains an asset to the community. The HASLC ma intains a strong
financial portfolio to ensure flexibility, sustainability, and continued access to affordable tax credits,
foundations, and grant resources.
As an administrator of the City’s Housing Choice voucher programs, the Housing Choice Voucher Pro gram
provides rental assistance to low -income families (50% of area median income and below). This program
provides rental subsidies to 3,000 low -income families, disabled, elderly, and chronically homeless clients. Other
programs under the Housing Choice umbrella include: Housing Choice Moderate Rehabilitation; Housing
Choice New Construction; Project Based Vouchers; Multifamily Project Based Vouchers; Veterans Affairs
Supportive Housing Vouchers; Housing Opportunities for Persons with HIV/AIDS; and Shelte r plus Care
Vouchers. Under these other Housing Choice programs, the HASLC provided rental subsidies to additional
qualified program participants.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing
HASLC continues to build a stron g portfolio of new properties and aggressively apply for additional vouchers.
As part of a strategic planning process held with Commissioners, staff, and residential leaders, HASLC has also
identified several goals for 2020-2021. Among these goals are increased focus on assisting local leaders and
agencies respond to homelessness in the City as well as developing and attaining more capacity for additional
living units through real estate activities, rehabilitation, pursuing new Shared Housing (previously referred to as
Single Room Occupancy) projects, developing increased relationships and services targeting and attracting
landlords, and sophisticated management of HUD programs. In April 2019, HASLC broke ground on Pamela’s
Place a new 100 unit PSH project f or chronically homeless individuals. This project is anticipated to be
completed in August 2020. HASLC also utilizes HUD RAD to preserve and improve their many properties .

AP-65 HOMELESS AND OTHER SPECIAL NEEDS ACTIVITIES
Introduction
Salt Lake City works with a large homeless services community to reduce the number of persons experiencing
homelessness, reduce the length of time individuals experience homelessness, increase successful transitions
out of homelessness, and reduce the number of instances that clients may return to homelessness.
Salt Lake City representatives participate in the local Continuum of Care’s executive board and its prioritization
committee specifically, so the Continuum of Care’s priorities are considered during Eme rgency Solutions Grant
allocations. The three local ESG funders also meet regularly to coordinate ESG and CoC activities to ensure an
accurate level of funding is provided to match the community’s service needs and goals. Additionally, the City
participates in Salt Lake County’s Coalition to End Homelessness and the State Homeless Coordinating Council
to further coordinate efforts.
The Salt Lake Continuum of Care contracts with the State of Utah to administer HMIS. All service agencies in the
region and the rest of the state are under a uniform data standard for HUD reporting and local ESG funders. All
ESG funded organizations participate in HMIS. A representative from Salt Lake City sits on the HMIS Steering
C ommittee. HMIS data allows Salt Lake City and its partners to track the effectiveness of programs and gauge
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
59 | P a g e
the continuing service needs of the community.
The State of Utah, in coordination with local service providers and volunteers, conduct an annual Point In Time
count at the end of January to co unt sheltered (emergency shelter and transitional housing) and unsheltered
homeless individuals. Unsheltered homeless individuals are counted by canvassing volunteers. The volunteers
use the VI-SPDAT assessment tool to interview and try to connect unshelte red homeless individuals into
services.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
Salt Lake City’s primary homeless services goal is to help homeless individuals and families get off the street
and into permanent housing. In the short term, Salt Lake City will continue to provide collaborative services to
the homeless population.
Salt Lake City recognizes that not every homeless individual is alike and because of that, there is no one size fits
all solution. There is a wide variety of homeless subpopulations in the greater community. Each of these groups
have different needs that Salt Lake City focuses on in order to provide the best services possible.
There are groups of chronic homeless individuals, veterans, families, women with children, youth, and
homeless-by-choice in the greater community. Each of these groups have different needs and ea ch stage of
homelessness must also be considered. The four stages of homelessness are prevention (keeping people from
dropping into homelessness with jobs and affordable housing), homelessness (helping with daily needs –
lockers, showers, etc.), transcendi ng homelessness (finding housing, employment), preventing recurrence
(offering supportive services to housing). If the four stages are not considered for each group, efforts will
eventually be unsuccessful.
Personalized one-on-one outreach to homeless individuals providing information about the specific services
that individual needs (e.g., housing, mental health treatment, a hot meal) is the most effective outreach
approach. Salt Lake City is exploring how to introduce lived experience peer support assis tance as outreach
teams work with unsheltered homeless individuals. Salt Lake City works regularly with various community
partners that provide outreach and assessment of individuals experiencing homelessness including Catholic
Community Services; Volunteers of America, Utah; the Department of Veterans Affairs; The Road Home and
others. In 2016, Salt Lake City opened the Community Connection Center (CCC) located in the primary
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
60 | P a g e
homeless services area of the City. The CCC operates as a drop-in center and employs social workers that assess
individuals’ needs and help connect people with available housing and supportive services. The CCC has been
successful in filling the need for additional homeless outreach and case management services in the City. The
work of the CCC is continuing through 2020 and continues to be a support space as Salt Lake City looks to
readdress homeless services in our community .
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
Starting with the State of Utah’s Ten-Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness, most efforts to deal with
homelessness in Utah rely on the Housing First m odel. Although the ten year plan has sunset, the programs
and direction are still being implemented throughout the State. The prem ise of Housing First is that once
homeless individuals have housing, they are more likely to seek and continue receiving services and can search
for employment. The Housing First m odel has been effective in Salt Lake City, though meeting the varied
housing needs of this population can be challenging. The homeless housing market needs more permanent
supportive housing, housing vouchers, affordable non -supportive housing, and housing located near transit
and services. Salt Lake City is working towards new sol utions in these areas as outlined in the City’s adopted
five-year housing plan, Growing SLC .
There is a continued need for day services to meet the basic needs of persons experiencing homelessness.
Needed daytime services include bathrooms, laundry, safe storage for their life’s belongings, mail receipt, and
an indoor area to “hang out”. Salt Lake City addresses these issues by supporting shelters, day services, and
providing a free storage program. These things were all considered in the recent creation of the homeless
resource centers. These centers also provide food services and look to be all inclusive, one stop shop for
services and connection to community resources. This shift in how homeless services are provided will help the
community realize our goal that homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring.
Moving forward, Salt Lake City will aim to assist homeless persons make the transition to permanent housing,
including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homeless ness, facilitating
access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families
who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again.
The City plays an important role by providing strategic funding for the valuable efforts undertaken by other
stakeholders and, at times, filling in gaps in essential services. The City can also lend its voice and political
weight to lobby for changes in policy, regulation, and statutes as needed to facilitate a compreh ensive and
effective approach to addressing homelessness and related issues.
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
61 | P a g e
Salt Lake City’s newly adopted housing plan, Growing SLC, includes efforts to provide affordable housing
options along with the spectrum of housing including permanent supportive housing, transition in place, tenant
based rental assistance, and affordable non -supportive housing.
Shelter the Homeless, Collective Impact to End Homelessness Steering Committee, and the Salt Lake City
Continuum of Care voted in support of merging thes e two entities into a new homeless system structure called
the Salt Lake Valley Coalition to End Homelessness. This Coalition’s primary goals are to prevent and end
homelessness in the Salt Lake Valley through a system -wide commitment of resources, services, data collection,
analysis and coordination among all stakeholders. Salt Lake City staff play a key role in assisting this effort as it
moves forward.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent
housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and
families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless ind ividuals and families to
affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from
becoming homeless again
Salt Lake City and its service partners work with homeless individuals to help them successfully transition from
living on the streets or shelters and into permanent housing or independent living. Salt Lake City has been
working with service partners and other governmental agencies through the Salt Lake Valley Coalition to End
Homelessness (SLVCEH). This includes work on various subgroups that focus on specific areas of service,
including housing and coordinated entry. Salt Lake City has the goal to help streamline service delivery to the
homeless community with the express purpose of shortening the period that individuals and families
experience homelessness.
Salt Lake City has also funded the creation of new permanent supportive housing units and programs which
serve the most vulnerable members of our community. Progress is being made on both goals. Salt Lake City
and its partner, the Road Home, are continuing to operate the House 20 program. The House 20 program
engages with some of the most vulnerable members of our community, the majority of whom are now in stable
housing. Through the City’s Funding Our Future efforts, the City has funded a variety of housing programs that
aim to fill in gaps in services in our community. These programs include a new shared housing pilot program
and housing programs which target families with children, individuals with subst ance use disorders, refugees,
and victims of domestic violence. Salt Lake City has provided funding to support the creation of a combined
280 new units of permanent supportive housing that are at various stages of development in the City. 175 of
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
62 | P a g e
these PSH units are slated for completion within the calendar year. These permanent supportive housing units
have been identified by the Salt Lake Continuum of Care as a need in the larger homeless services community.
Salt Lake City continues to make progress on o ur 5-year housing plan, Growing SLC, which seeks to improve the
housing market in the City by focusing on three primary goals:
Reforming City practices to promote a responsive, affordable high -opportunity housing
market;
Increasing housing opportunities for cost-burdened households; and
Building a more equitable city.
Through implementation of Growing SLC and the funding of housing programs through Funding our Future
and Federal dollars, Salt Lake City is working to increase access to affordable housin g units for individuals and
families experiencing homelessness. These efforts will help shorten the period of time individuals and families
experience homeless and prevent recently homeless individuals and families from falling back into
homelessness.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low -
income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded
institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental he alth facilities, foster care
and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from
public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or
youth needs
Salt Lake City, along with other organizations in the Salt Lake Continuum of Care, work to prevent and divert
individuals and families from experiencing homelessness. Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County and the State of Utah
all provide funding to Utah Community Action fo r short-term rental assistance to families at risk of falling into
homelessness.
Discussion
Salt Lake City is reducing and ending homelessness in the community through strong collaborations with
partner organizations throughout the Salt Lake Continuum of Care. Salt Lake City works closely with Salt Lake
County, the State of Utah and service providers to stop families from dropping into homelessness, reduce the
length of time individuals and families experience homelessness, help individuals and families s uccessfully
transition out of homelessness, and keep individuals and families from rescinding back into homelessness.

AP-75 ACTION PLAN BARRIERS TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Introduction
As discussed in sections MA -40 and SP-55 of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, several barriers to the
development and preservation of affordable h ousing exist within Salt Lake City, including the following:
Land costs
Construction costs
Housing and transportation costs
Development and rehabilitation financing
Housing rehabilitation complexities
Foreclosures and loan modifications
Neighborhood market conditions
Economic conditions
Land use regulations
Development fees and assessments
Permit processing procedures
Environmental review procedures
Lack of zoning and development incentives
Complicated impact fee waiver process
Competition for limited development incentives
Landlord tenant policies
NIMBY’ism
While not all of these barriers can be addressed during with federal funding, d uring the 2020-2021 program
year, the City will work to reduce barriers to affordable housing through the following planni ng efforts and
initiatives:
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
64 | P a g e
Growing SLC: A Five-Year Plan, 2018-2022: The City has formally adopted a housing plan that is
addressing the barriers listed above and has served as a catalyst on a local and regional level to focus
on the housing crisis. The plan provides an assessment of citywide housing needs, with emphasis on
the availability and affordability of housing, housing needs for changing demographics, and
neighborhood-specific needs. Growing SLC identifies several goals to remove barriers to affordable
housing. Those goals include reforming City practices to promote a responsive, affordable, high -
opportunity housing market; increase housing opportunities for cost -burdened households; and
building a more equitable City.
Homeless Strategies: Salt L ake City works collaboratively with service providers, local municipalities, the
State of Utah, the Continuum of Care, and other stakeholders through the Salt Lake Valley Coalition to
End Homelessness (Coalition) to ensure a regional and concerted effort t o address homeless issues
within the City. The structure of the Coalition provides a succinct network for data collection, resource
deployment, and service implementation. The City will continue to play a critical and visionary role in
the Coalition in the coming year.
Home Ownership Options: The City has launched a new program for homeownership, Welcome Home
SLC. The program provides low to moderate-income families the opportunity to purchase a home in
Salt Lake City. It will help stabilize communities, p rovide incentive for neighborhood investments, and
allow families to build wealth.
Community Land Trust: Salt Lake City has launched a Community Land Trust that will allow donated
and trusted land to maintain perpetual affordability while ensuring the stru cture on the land, the home,
is purchased, owned, and sold over time to income-qualifying households, just as any other home
would be. By holding the land itself in the trust, the land effectively receives a write down each time the
home is sold, insulatin g the property for growing land costs but still allowing equity to be built by the
homeowner.
Funding Our Future: Will provide additional funding during FY 20-21 to increase housing opportunities
in Salt Lake City through a new .5% sales tax increase app roved by Council in May 2018.
Leverage Public Land: The City has been and will continue to look at City owned properties as an
investment in affordable housing. Additionally, proceeds from development on public land could be
used for future affordable hou sing development.
Redevelopment Agency: The Salt Lake City Redevelopment Agency has committed $17 million since
2017 to address affordable housing efforts in the City, with a specific focus on areas with high land
values.
Housing Trust Fund: The Housing Trust Fund was created in 2000 to provide financial assistance to
support the development and preservation of affordable and special needs housing in Salt Lake City.
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
65 | P a g e
Eligible activities include acquisition, new construction, and rehabilitation of both mult ifamily rental
properties and single-family homeownership. Additional assistance relating to housing for eligible
households also may include project or tenant -based rental assistance, down payment assistance and
technical assistance. Applications for funding can be accepted year-round and are approved through a
citizen’s advisory board, the Mayor and the City Council.
Policy: The City is continually evaluating policies that may impede the development of affordable
housing. A few policy changes the City is considering over the coming year include an Affordable
Housing Overlay zoning ordinance, Housing Loss Mitigation ordinance amendment, and a Single
Room Occupancy (SRO)/Shared Housing ordinance.
Actions planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as
barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return
on residential investment
Salt Lake City will work to remove or ameliorate public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing
through the following efforts:
Affordable Housing Development Incentives: Zoning and fee waiver incentives will be implemented
and/or strengthened, including the following:
o Review the City’s Housing Loss Mitigation ordinance to ensure that the city’s stock of
inexpensive housing isn’t rapidly being replaced by more expensive units.
o Develop an Affordable Housing Overlay zone that allows for and provide s incentives for the
creation and preservation of affordable housing.
o Evaluate the desire for a Single Room Occupancy (SRO)/Shared Housing ordinance that allows
for SRO’s in single-family neighborhoods throughout the City.
o Off-Street Parking Ordinance update to improve pedestrian-scale development and amenities.
o Low-Density Multi-Family Residential Zoning amendments to remove local zoning barriers to
housing density and types of housing.
Leverage Public Resources for Affordable Housing Development: Publi c resources, including city -
owned land, will be leveraged with private resources for affordable housing development.
Funding Targeting: The Division of Housing and Neighborhood Development is evaluating ways to
coordinate and target affordable housing subsidies more effectively, to include the coordination of
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
66 | P a g e
local funding sources (Olene Walker Housing Loan Fund, Salt Lake City Housing Trust Fund, Salt Lake
County funding, etc.).
Implement Fair Housing Action Items: Salt Lake City will work to remove and/or ameliorate housing
impediments for protected classes through action items as identified in the City’s 2020-2024 Fair
Housing Action Plan.
Utilize Federal Funding to Expand Affordable Housing Opportunities: Utilize CDBG, ESG, HOME, and
HOPWA funding to expand housing opportunity through homeowner rehabilitation, emergency home
repair, acquisition/rehabilitation, direct financial assistance, tenant -based rental assistance, project-
based rental assistance, and rapid re-housing.

Introduction
This section outlines Salt Lake City’s efforts to carry out the following:
Address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
Foster and maintain affordable housing
Reduce lead-based paint hazards
Reduce the number of poverty -level families
Develop institutional structure
Enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
Radon Mitigation Policy
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The most substantial impediment in meeting underserved needs is a lack of funding and resources. Strategic
shifts identified through Salt Lake City’s 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan provide a framework for maximizing and
leveraging the City's block grant allocations better focus funding to address underserved needs. Underse rved
needs and strategic actions are as follows:
Underserved Need: Affordable housing
Actions: Salt Lake City is utilizing federal and local resources to expand both rental and
homeownership opportunities. In addition, the City is utilizing public land to leverage private capital
for the development of affordable housing. These efforts will work to address the affordable housing
gap in Salt Lake City.
Underserved Need: Homelessness
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
67 | P a g e
Actions: Salt Lake City is working with housing and homeless service provid ers to coordinate and
streamline processes for service delivery. By utilizing the VI-SPDAT pre-screen survey, providers are
able to access and prioritize services based on chronicity and medical vulnerability. These efforts will
assist in addressing unmet needs by utilizing resources more effectively.
Underserved Need: Special needs individuals.
Actions: Salt Lake City is working to address underserved needs for refugees, immigrants, the elderly,
victims of domestic violence, persons living with HIV/AIDS, and persons with a disability by providing
resources for basic needs, as well as resources to expand self -sufficiency. For example, federal funding
is utilized to provide early childhood education for refugees and other at -risk children; improve
immediate and long-term outcomes for persons living with HIV/AIDS; and provide job training
vulnerable populations; and provide medical services for at risk populations.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The City is committed to foster and m aintain affordable housing throughout our City. This is evident through
identifying specific gaps that exist in the community, and then designing affordable housing efforts specifically
to address these needs. The City has developed an aggressive strategy to develop, preserve and assist
affordable housing over the next two years. The initiative aims to target households earning 80% AMI and
below, with emphasis on households earning 40% AMI and below. Through this housing initiative and efforts
identified in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, Salt Lake City aims to:
Address the City’s affordable housing shortage for those most in need.
Address housing needs for Salt Lake City’s changing demographics.
Address neighborhood specific needs, including the following:
o Protect affordability in neighborhoods where affordability is disappearing.
o Promote affordability in neighborhoods with a lack of affordable housing.
Preserve the City’s existing affordable housing stock.
Strengthen the City’s relationship with our housin g partners, financial institutions, and foundations.
Support those who develop and advocate for affordable housing.
Toward this end, Salt Lake City will foster and maintain affordable housing during the 201 9-2020 program year

affordable housing.
Work to ameliorate and/or eliminate housing impediments for protected classes as outlined in the Fair
Housing Action Plan.
Work to leverage other city resources such as Redevelopment Agency funding/strate gies, maximize
sales tax housing funding, and other sources as they are identified with federal funding where
applicable.
Salt Lake City has launched a new Community Land Trust that currently has six properties, with plans to
increase the number of properties in the coming years.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
Because of the high percentage of the housing units in Salt Lake City that were built before 1978, outreach and
education efforts must continue. As such, the City has implemented a plan to address lead issues in our
residential rehabilitation projects. The City’s Housing Rehabilitation Program is in compliance with HUD’s rules
concerning identification and treatment of lead hazards. Du ring the 2020-2021 program year, Salt Lake City will
work in conjunction with our partners on the state and county levels to educate the public on the dangers
posed by lead based paint, to include the following:
Undertake outreach efforts through direct mailings, the Salt Lake City website, various fa irs and public
events, and the local community councils.
Provide materials in Spanish to increase lead-based paint hazard awareness in minority communities.
Partner with Salt Lake County’s Lead Safe Salt Lake program to treat lead hazards in the homes of
children identified as having elevated blood levels.
Emphasize lead hazards in our initial contacts with homeowners needing rehabilitation.
Work with community partners to encourage local contractors to obtain worker certifications for their
employees and sub-contractors.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families
In a strategic effort to reduce the number of households living in poverty and prevent households at risk of
moving in to poverty from doing so, Salt Lake City is focusing on a two-pronged approach:
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
69 | P a g e
1. Creating neighborhoods of opportunity to build capacity and expand resources within
concentrated areas of poverty.
2. Support the city’s most vulnerable populations, including the chronically homeless, homeless
families, food-insecure individuals, the disabled, persons living with HIV/AIDS, victims of domestic
violence and the low-income elderly.
The City’s anti-poverty strategy aims to close the gap in a number of socioeconomic indicators, such as
improving housing affordability, school-readiness of young children, employment skills of at-risk adults, access
to transportation for low-income households, and access to fresh foods for food -insecure families. Efforts will
focus on the following objectives:
Assist low -income individuals to maximize their incomes.
Reduce the linkages between poor health and poverty.
Expand housing opportunities.
Reduce the impacts of poverty on children.
Ensure that vulnerable populations have access to supportive services.
Federal entitlement f unds allocated through this 2020-2021 Action Plan will support the City’s anti -poverty
strategy through the following efforts:
Provide job training for vulnerable populations.
Provide early childhood education to limit the effects of intergenerational poverty.
Provide essential supportive services for vulnerable populations.
Provide housing rehabilitation for low -income homeowners.
Expanded affordable housing opportunities.
Improved neighborhood/commercial infrastructure in West Side Target Area.
Enhance support for sm all businesses and micro-enterprise businesses.
Reduce food insecurities for low income households.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
As outlined in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, Salt Lake City is building upon the 2019-2015 Plan and
c ontinuing to take a coordinated and strategic shift in allocating federal entitlement funds to place a stronger
emphasis on community needs, goals, objectives and outcomes. This includes the following efforts to
strengthen and develop institutional structu re:
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
70 | P a g e
Geographically target infrastructure and economic development funding to areas of the city with
higher poverty rates, lower incomes, reduced access to transportation
Increase coordination between housing and supportive service providers to reduce/elimi nate
duplicative efforts, encourage partnerships, increase transparency, and standardize processes.
Strengthen support for the city’s most vulnerable populations, including the chronically homeless,
homeless families, the disabled, persons living with HIV/AIDS, victims of domestic violence and the
low-income elderly.
Support housing efforts that connect residents with supportive services and programs that improve
self-sufficiency.
Offer technical assistance to agencies implementing projects with CDBG, ESG, HOME, and/or HOPWA
funding to ensure compliance and support of program objectives.
Support employee training and certifications to expand the internal knowledge base on HUD
programs, as well as housing and community development best practices.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service
agencies
Salt Lake City recognizes the importance of coordination between supportive service and housing providers in
meeting priority needs. Stakeholders have been working towards developing and implementing a streamlined
and effective delivery system to include the following efforts:
Created and implemented a no wrong door approach to accessing housing and other services.
Increased coordination through the Salt Lake Continu um of Care, Salt Lake Homeless Coordinating
Committee, Salt Lake County Collective Impact Committee, and State Homeless Coordinating Council.
Coordinated assessments to help individuals and families experiencing homeless move through the
system faster.
Coordinated diversion and homeless prevention resources to reduce new entries into homelessness.
Coordinated efforts to house the highest users of the homeless services and provide trauma informed
case management.
Improved weekly “housing triage” meetings that provide a format for developing a housing plan for
homeless individuals and families with the most urgent housing needs.
Discussion
Actions planned to mitigate impacts of Radon
Salt Lake City is committed to providing safe, affordable housing opportunit ies that are free of contaminations
that could affect the health and safety of occupants. Section 50.3(i) states that “it is HUD policy that all property
proposed for use in HUD programs be free of hazardous materials, contamination, toxic chemicals and ga sses,
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
71 | P a g e
and radioactive substances, where a hazard could affect the health and safety of occupants of conflict with the
intended utilization of the property.” To that end, the city created a Radon Mitigation Policy that address the
potential of Radon in homes that are newly constructed or rehabilitated utilizing federal funding issued through
this Action Plan. In June 2020, Salt Lake City will host a training seminar to review the requirements with
subrecipients and ensure that they are prepared to be complia nt with the updated requirements. The city has,
and will continue, to provide technical assistance to each agency in an effort to ensure agencies are properly
identifying sites that must be tested, how to test correctly, how to read test results, and the a ppropriate
mitigation standards that must be followed.
The Radon Mitigation Policy includes specifics on testing and mitigation requirements. The city has also
partnered with the State of Utah to implement the mitigation policy, provide technical assist ance, and
outreach/education materials. To leverage resources, the city will refer clients needing financial assistance for
mitigation to other community resources. To ensure that even the most vulnerable and high risk populations
have an opportunity to m itigate Radon, the City has implemented a grant program whereby residents meeting
a set of criteria, may apply for a grant to bear the costs of mitigation.

SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
72 | P a g e
Total Program Income: $6,000,000
2. Other CDBG Requirements
1 The amount of urgent need activities 0
2 The estimated percentage of CDBG funds that will be used for activities
that benefit persons of low and moderate income
90%
Overall Benefit - A consecutive period of one, two or three years may be used to determine
that a minimum overall benefit of 70% of CDBG funds is used to benefit persons of low and
moderate income. This Annual Action Plan covers a one year period.
HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME)
Reference 24 CFR 91.220(l)(2)
1. A description of other forms of investment being used beyond those identified in Section 92.205 is as
follows
Salt Lake City does not utilize HOME funding beyon d those identified in Section 92.205.
2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for
homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows
In order to preserve the number of affordable housing uni ts for continued benefit to low -income residents, Salt
Lake City requires that HOME funds used to assist homeownership be recaptured whenever assisted units
become vacant prior to the end of the affordability period that is commensurate with the amount of funding
invested in the activity. Trust deeds or property restrictions are filed on appropriate properties to ensure
compliance with the period of affordability.
Homeownership Recapture:
Salt Lake City follows the HOME recapture provisions established at §92.253(a)(5)(ii). Any remaining HOME
assistance to the home buyer must be recovered if the housing does not continue to be the principal residence
of the family for the duration of the period of affordability. The HOME investment that is subject to recaptu re is
based on the direct subsidy amount which includes the HOME assistance that enabled the home buyer to buy
the housing unit. In all cases, the recapture provisions are limited to the net proceeds of the sale. Salt Lake City
requires all sub-recipients and CHDO’s to follow the same recapture guidelines as outlined and required in the
HOME rule. This provision is intended to ensure a fair return on investment for the homeowner if a sale occurs
during the period of affordability. The City will utilize one of the following options:
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
73 | P a g e
A) If it was determined that HOME regulations were not adhered to for initial approval of the
homeowner or during the term of affordability, the entire HOME subsidy will be recaptured.
B) In the event of change of title/ownership, the City will reduce the HOME investment amount
to be recaptured on a pro-rata basis for the time the homeowner has owned and occupied the
housing measured against the applicable affordability period.
C) If the net proceeds are not sufficient to recapture the appropriate HOME investment plus
enable the homeowner to recover the amount of the homeowner's down payment and any
capital improvement investment made by the owner since purchase, the City will share the net
proceeds. Net proceeds are the sales price minus loan repayment (other than HOME funds)
and closing costs. The net proceeds will be divided proportionally on a pro -rata basis for the
time the homeowner has owned and occupied the housing measured against the applicable
affordability period. Owner investment returned first. The City may choose to permit the home
buyer to recover the home buyer's entire investment (down payment and capital
im provements made by the owner since purchase) before recapturing the HOME investment.
HOME Funds Provided for Homebuyer Activity
subject to Recapture of HOME Funds
Minimum years
of Affordability
Under $15,000 5 Years
Between $15,000 and $40,000 10 Years
Over $40,000 15 Years
Homeownership Resale:
Resale requirements will only apply to HOME -funded affordable homeownership opportunities provided using
the community land trust model. In that model, Salt Lake City provides funding to a community land trus t to
sell homes at an affordable price while placing a 99-year leasehold on the estate. Resale provisions will be
enforced by a recorded covenant signed by the land owner, the homebuyer, and the City, and also through a
99-year ground lease between the lan d owner (the trust) and the homebuyer. Under both the covenant and the
ground lease, the home may be sold only to an income-qualified buyer who will occupy the home as a primary
residence. The land owner, through the ground lease, shall have an option to p urchase in order to ensure that
the home is sold to an eligible buyer at an affordable price. This provision is intended to ensure a fair retur n on
investment for the homeowner if a sale occurs during the period of afforda bility. The Resale Requirement will
limit the sales price, as described below.
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
74 | P a g e
Due to the growing costs of homes in the Salt Lake City residential market, the City has o pted to implement a
Homeownership Value Limit of $378,100 for a single family home. Salt Lake City determined 95 percent of the
median area purchase price for single family housing in the jurisdiction in accordance with procedures
established at § 92.254(a)(2)(iii). Specifically, this purchase price was calculated based on a median sales price of
$398,000 (i.e. $398,000 × 0.95 = $378,100) for single family homes. This figure is for both new construction and
existing homes. The attached sales data includes a count of 2,361 sales since May 2019 and only includes
addresses within incorporated Salt Lake City boundaries. Please see attachment s for additional information.
3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of u nits acquired
with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows
As stated above, Salt Lake City requires that HOME funds be recaptured whenever assisted units become vacant
prior to the end of the affordability period that is commensurate with the am ount of funding invested in the
activity. In very rare cases, Salt Lake City will use HOME funds as an acquisition source for multifamily projects.
With these rental activities, rental projects must meet the appropriate period of affordability or HOME fund s
provided to them will be recaptured by the City. Trust deeds or property restrictions are filed on appropriate
properties to ensure compliance with the period of affordability.
Rental Housing Recapture:
All HOME-assisted units must meet the affordability requirements for not less than the applicable period
specified below regardless of the term of any loan or mortgage, transfer of ownership, or repayment of loan
funds.
Rental Housing Activity Minimum years
of Affordability
Rehab or acquisition of existing housing per unit
amount of HOME funds under $15,000 5 Years
Between $15,000 and $40,000 10 Years
Over $40,000 or rehab involving refinancing 15 Years
New construction or acquisition of newly constructed
housing 20 Years
4. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is
rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that
will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows
Not applicable. Salt Lake City does not i ntend to use HOME funds to refinance multifamily housing
debt.
Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
Reference 24 CFR 91.220(l)(4)
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
75 | P a g e
1. Include written standards for providing ESG assistance (may include as attachment)
The Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Policies include written standards for providing ESG assistance.
2. If the Continuum of Care has established centralized or coordinated assessment system that
meets HUD requirements, describe that centralized or coordinated assessment system
The Salt Lake Continuum of Care has developed a collaborative, written coordinated assessment plan.
Consensus exists for a coordinated assessment plan that covers the entire Continuum of Care with a multi -
access entry point quick assessment method for any homeless individual or fam ily in need of emergency shelter
or service. Our 211 system, service providers, government agencies, and others publicize all existing access
points, striving to do everything we can to ensure individuals and families in need have clear direction for
accessing appropriate services. After entry into an emergency service, individuals are tracked as they progress
toward housing and/or support interventions. All homeless families and those individuals prioritized for
permanent supportive housing placements are guided toward this centralized process and placed into one of
several housing programs depending on assessment. Standardized assessments include a quick assessment for
emergency services and eligibility and enrollment materials for housing placements.
Salt Lake City worked with partners as part of the Collective Impact process to further improve our coordinated
assessment system. Representatives of the City worked with the CoC, ESG funders, and service providers to
improve the coordinated assessment system to meet requirements set forth in Notice CPD-17-01. The new
coordinated assessment system was approved by the Salt Lake County Homeless Coordinating Committee in
January, 2018. Salt Lake City is continuing to work with the CoC, ESG funders, and service p roviders to
operationalize these new requirements through the Coordinated Entry Task Group.
3. Identify the process for making sub -awards and describe how the ESG allocation available to private
nonprofit organizations (including community and faith -based o rganizations) will be allocated
Granting sub-awards is an intensive, months-long process. It begins with applications being made available and
education workshops held to explain different federal grant programs and eligible activities under each. Staff
also reaches out to potential applicants through the Salt Lake Homeless Coordinating Council, the local
Continuum of Care, the Utah Housing Coalition and others.
After the application period closes, a general needs hearing is conducted to help guide how ESG monies should
be spent. Applications are discussed with a citizen board in a public forum. Applicants are invited to meet with
the citizen board to answer final questions or provide additional information regarding their programs and their
role in the larger homeless services system structure.
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
76 | P a g e
The Community Development & Capital Improvement Programs Advisory Board (CDCIP Board) reviews the
applications and makes a recommendation to the Salt Lake City Mayor based on federal guidelines, the 5 Year
Consolidated Plan, and the City’s long term homeless services strategies. The Mayor then makes a
recommendation on funding to the City Council based on the CDCIP board recommendation, federal
guidelines, the 5 Year Consolidated Plan, and the City’s long -term homeless services strategies.
The City Council holds a public hearing for comment on the programs and proposed benefits of each. The City
Council then makes a funding decision based on public comment, the Mayor’s recommendation, federal
guidelines, the 5 Year C onsolidated Plan, and the City’s long term homeless services strategies.
4. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR 576.405(a), the
jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with homeless or formerly
homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions regarding facilities and
services funded under ESG
Before the Salt Lake City Council makes the final funding decisions for ESG funds, there are multiple venues for
public outreach including two public hearings. Efforts are made to include participation from homeless and
formerly homeless individuals. Emergency Solutions Grant funds, along with other public and private monies,
are used by Salt Lake City to implement our short and long term homeless service goals.
Individuals experiencing homelessness often help the city craft and implement short -term and long-term
service plans. Below are a few examples of how the city has created the opportunity for homeless persons to
participate:
Homeless individuals participated in the creation of the long -term homeless services situation
assessment.
The City interviewed over 100 homeless individuals as part of its Homeless Services Site
Evaluation Commission in 2015.
Summer of 2016, the C ity held a workshop specifically with individuals experiencing
homelessness to draft the criteria used to locate new homeless resource centers.
February 2017, a workshop was held with homeless individuals to gain feedback on the
design, location and programming at new homeless resource centers.
March 2018, Salt Lake City participated in a Homeless Youth Forum, which brought together a
wide range of service providers together to discuss service delivery for homeless youth. There
were approximately 20 homeless and formerly homeless youth who were dispersed amongst
the discussion groups and they provided valuable feedback on various service delivery
systems.
SALT LAKE CITY 2020 -2021 ACTION PLAN
77 | P a g e
Summer of 2018, the City coordinated with Salt Lake County to collect survey data on funding
priorities from individuals experiencing homelessness on two separate occasions.
The City continues to reach out to persons with “lived experience” to help shape the services
being prioritized and funded throughout the homeless services system.
ESG subgrantees and other homeless service providers routinely consult with current and formerly homeless
individuals to make programming and service delivery decisions. There is representation from homeless and
formerly homeless individuals on the Collective Impact Steering Committee and the CoC executive board.
5. Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG
Salt Lake City scores programs receiving Emergency Solutions Grant funding using the performance metrics
required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Develop ment (HUD) and local priorities. In an effort to
increase transparency, leverage resources, and maximize efficiencies, Salt Lake City does the following:
All applications undergo a risk analysis prior to the awarding of funds.
Standardized quarterly reporting is reviewed for compliance, timeliness, and accuracy.
Monitoring and technical assistance risk analyses are performed on all subgrantees to
determine which organization would benefit from monitoring or technical assistance visits.
Collect information that supports the required performance measurement metrics and
provides context on local initiatives.
To ensure consistent performance metrics, the Salt Lake Continuum of Care contracts with the State of Utah to
administer HMIS, or Hom eless Management Information System. All service agencies in the region and the rest
of the state are under a uniform data standard for HUD reporting and local ESG funders. All ESG funded
organizations participate in HMIS. Salt Lake City reviews HMIS data to ensure grantees are properly using funds
as promised in their contracts and meeting larger City, Continuum of Care, and State goals.

CARES HUD-CV FUNDING
On March 27, 2020, the United States Congress passed The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic
Security Act (CARES Act) (H.R. 748, Public Law 116 -136), which makes available $5 billion in
supplemental Community Development Block Grant (CDBG -CV) funding, $1 billion for Emergency
Solutions Grants (ESG-CV) and $53.7 million for Hous ing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS
(HOPWA-CV) grants to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus .
SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT, CON PLAN 20-24 & AAP 20 -21

The CARES Act stipulated that HUD-CV funding must not fund duplicative activities and requires
tracking to ensure no other funding source could be utilized for the expense. Grantees may use HUD -CV
funds for a range of activities to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus. Funds must serve low -
to moderate-income individuals or households, underserved communities or populations, and align with
HUD National Objectives.
PROGRAM YEAR (PY) 2020 SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT
Due to the City’s allocated CARES HUD-CV funding Substantial Amendments to the City’s most
recently adopted 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, 2020-2024 Citizen Participation Plan, and 2020-2021
Annual Action Plan are required.
These Substantial Amendments has been prepared with the guidance from HUD that has been issued to
date.
HUD REQUIREMENTS
HUD’s Substantial Amendment Section 24 CFR 91.505 (b), outlines the criteria for Subst antial
Amendment and states “the jurisdiction shall identify in its Citizen Participation Plan the criteria
it will use for determining what constitutes a Substantial Amendment. It is these Substantial
Amendments that are subject to a citizen participation process, in accordance with the
jurisdiction's citizen participation plan.”
SALT LAKE CITY 2020-2024 CONSOLIDATED PLAN REQUIREMENTS
Salt Lake City’s Consolidated Plan for 2020 -2024 Citizen Participation Plan defines a Substantial
Amendment as:
1. A proposed use of funds that does not address a goal or underlying strategy identified in
the governing Consolidated Plan or Annual Action Plan; or
2. Increasing funding levels for a given project by 100% or more of the previously adopted
amount; or
3. Decreasing funding levels for a given project by 100% AND pivoting impacted funds to
another approved use during an action plan period; or
4. A change to a regulatory requirement or additional allocated funding from the US
Department of Housing & Urban Development that defines that a Substantial
Amendment must be completed.
Substantial Amendment to 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan:
#1 Accept Additional Allocations of Funding
Section SP-35, The Strategic Plan, Anticipated Resources. HUD 24 CFR 91.215 (a)(4),
91.220 (c)(1,2). Located on page 146 of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan.
The CARES HUD-CV allocations represent an additional allocation of funding from
HUD to Salt Lake City’s 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, thus requiring a Substantial
Amendment.
(See the SP-35 Anticipated Resources Appendix)
The City’s current 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan will be amended to reflect the additional
funding and eligible uses of the grant funds.

.
Substantial Amendments to 2020-2024 Citizen Participation Plan (Appendix C of the 2020-2024
Consolidated Plan):
#1 Shortened Public Comment Period
Citizen Participation, HUD 24 CFR 91.105. Located on page 281 of the 2020-2024
Citizen Participation Plan (Appendix C of the 2020 -2024 Consolidated Plan)
Substantial Amendments are required to follow the City’s Citizen Participation Plan, as
outlined in the Consolidated Plan for 2020 -2024, which under normal circumstances,
requires a public comment period for the Substantial Amendment of thirty (30) days.
However, to quickly implement the funds and activities of the CARES HUD-CV, HUD
has waived that requirement with amendment to the City’s Citizen Participation Plan,
reducing the public comment period to five (5) days. Further, HUD is allowing the
Citizen Participation Plan and the Substantial Amendment to the 2020-2024 Consolidated
Plan and 2020 Annual Action Plan to run concurrently.
Although the CARES Act has shortened the public comment period to five (5) days, Salt
Lake City Ordinance requires a fourteen (14) days public com ment period. Salt Lake City
will utilize a fourteen (14) day public comment period for this Substantial Amendment.
The City’s current 2020-2024 Citizen Participation Plan will be amended to reflect this
change and accept a fourteen (14) day public comment period.
This Shortened Public Comment Period amendment only applies to the CARES HUD -
CV allocation, and not to other funding allocated by HUD.
Substantial Amendment to 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan:
#1 Accept Additional Allocations of Funding
Section AP -15, Expected Resources. HUD 24 CFR 91.215 (a)(4), 91.220 (c)(1,2).
Located on page 33 of the 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan.
A Substantial Amendment is required to accept the CARES HUD -CV. These funds
represent an additional allocation of funding from HUD to Salt Lake City’s 2020-2024
Consolidated Plan and 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan.
(See the AP-15 Expected Resources Appendix)
The City’s current 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan will be amended to reflect the
additional funding and eligible uses of grant f unds .

COORDINATION WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS
Salt Lake City has worked closely with Salt Lake County, the State of Utah and other community partners
to ensure funds are strategically targeted to reach our most vulnerable residents who are impacted by
coronavirus and programs are not duplicative. Community Partners include:
Other regional CARES HUD-CV grantees
Salt Lake City CARES HUD-CV Internal Working Group
SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT, CON PLAN 20-24 & AAP 20 -21
6
Salt Lake City’s Resident Advisory Group, the Community Development and Capital
Improvement Program Board
HUD Regional Office
HUD Technical Assistance Representative
National homeless and affordable housing consultants and advocacy groups
HUD requires CV grantees to prevent the duplication of benefits, which means grant funds may not be
used to pay costs if another source of financial assistance is available to pay that cost. HAND will work
with selected community partners and track other funding and community benefits in order to prevent
duplication of services.

many Salt Lake City residents are cost burdened
or severely cost burdened with housing
expenses. A small fraction of loans are covered
by the CARES Act forbearance protections and
many residents are at risk of slipping into
foreclosure. This program will stabilize
vulnerable homeowners and ensure they stay
in their homes.

Availability of Waives of CPD Grant Program and Consolidated
Plan Requirements to Prevent the Spread of CVID-19 and
Mitigate Economic Impacts Caused by COVID-19
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
WASHINGTON, DC 20410-7000
OFFICE OF COMMUNITY PLANNING
AND DEVELOPMENT
www.hud.gov espanol.hud.gov
MEMORADUM FOR: All Community Planning and Development Field Office Directors,
Deputy Directors and Program Managers
FROM: John Gibbs, Assistant Secretary, Acting, D
SUBJECT: Availability of Waivers of Community Planning and Development
(CPD) Grant Program and Consolidated Plan Requirements to
Prevent the Spread of COVID-19 and Mitigate Economic Impacts
Caused by COVID-19
PURPOSE
This memorandum explains the availability of waivers of certain regulatory requirements
associated with several CPD grant programs to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to facilitate
assistance to eligible communities and households economically impacted by COVID-19. This
memorandum covers waivers of consolidated plan requirements for all CPD formula programs and
program-specific waivers for the following CPD programs:
Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA);
Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG); and
Continuum of Care (CoC).
This memorandum also announces a simplified notification process for recipients of these
programs to use this waiver flexibility to expedite the delivery of assistance. CPD Field Office
Directors, Deputy Directors, and Program Managers are instructed to inform CPD recipients
operating within their jurisdictions of the content of this memorandum.
NOTIFICATION PROCESS
Recipients may use the waivers described in this memorandum to assist affected CPD
program beneficiaries and CPD program eligible households to prevent the spread of COVID-19
and to mitigate against the economic impact caused by COVID-19 for eligible households. To use
the waiver flexibility provided in this memorandum, the recipient must provide notification in
writing, either through mail or e-mail, to the CPD Director of the HUD Field Office serving its
jurisdiction no less than two days before the recipient anticipates using the waiver flexibility.
Further directions on notifying HUD can be found in Attachment #1.
WAIVER AUTHORITY
In December 2019, a new coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2 was first detected in Wuhan,
Hubei Province, People’s Republic of China, causing outbreaks of the coronavirus disease COVID-
2
19 that has now spread globally. The first case was reported in the United States in January 2020.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic and
President Trump declared the outbreak a national emergency. During this time, the majority of
states have declared states of emergency with most shutting down large gathering places and
limiting the movement of their residents. As a consequence, many CPD recipients are facing
challenges in ensuring appropriate shelter options are available for program participants who need
to be separated from others because they are exhibiting symptoms, training staff on how to safely
work with program participants and prevent spreading the virus, obtaining supplies to prevent the
spread of the virus, and maintaining necessary staffing levels during the outbreak. Further, many
program participants are suffering economic consequences from the mass shutdown of businesses
and lack of availability of traditional mainstream benefits. A number of recipients have inquired
about the availability of waivers of various CPD program requirements to facilitate assistance to
program participants and prevent the spread of the virus.
In accordance with 24 CFR 5.110, HUD may, upon a determination of good cause and
subject to statutory limitations, waive regulatory provisions. Additional regulatory waiver authority
is provided in 24 CFR 91.600. These regulatory provisions provide HUD the authority to make
waiver determinations for the ESG, CoC, and HOPWA Programs and consolidated planning
requirements for all CPD formula programs.
WAIVER AVAILABILITY
To provide additional flexibility to communities to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and
better assist individuals and families, including those experiencing homelessness infected with the
virus or economically impacted by the virus, I hereby find good cause to provide the regulatory
waivers below. To use each waiver, each recipient must follow the notification process described
above and update its program records to include written documentation of the specific conditions
that justify the recipient’s use of the waiver, consistent with the justifications and applicability
provisions below. Provisions that are not specifically waived remain in full effect.
CONTINUUM OF CARE PROGRAM
1. Fair Market Rent for Individual Units and Leasing Costs
Requirement: Rent payments for individual units with leasing dollars may not exceed Fair
Market Rent (FMR).
Citation: 24 CFR 578.49(b)(2)
Explanation: The CoC Program regulation at 24 CFR 578.49(b)(2) prohibits a recipient
from using grant funds for leasing to pay above FMR when leasing
individual units, even if the rent is reasonable when compared to other
similar, unassisted units.
Justification: Waiving the limit on using grant leasing funds to pay above FMR for
individual units above FMR, but not greater than the reasonable rent will
3
assist recipients in locating additional units to house individuals and families
experiencing homelessness and reduce the spread and harm of COVID-19.
Applicability: The FMR restriction is waived for any lease executed by a recipient or
subrecipient to provide transitional or permanent supportive housing during
the 6-month period beginning on the date of this memorandum. The affected
recipient or subrecipient must still ensure that rent paid for individual units
that are leased with CoC Program leasing dollars meet the rent
reasonableness standard in 24 CFR 578.49(b)(2).
2. Disability Documentation for Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH)
Requirement: A recipient providing PSH must serve individual and families where one
member of the household has a qualifying disability (for dedicated projects
and DedicatedPlus projects that individual must be the head of household).
Further, the recipient must document a qualifying disability of one of the
household members. When documentation of disability is the intake
worker’s observation, the regulation requires the recipient to obtain
additional confirming evidence within 45 days.
Citation: 24 CFR 578.103(a) and 24 CFR 578.103(a)(4)(i)(B)
Explanation: 24 CFR 578.103(a) requires recipients to maintain records providing
evidence they met program requirements and 24 CFR 578.103(a)(4)(i)(B)
establishes the requirements for documenting disability for individuals and
families that meet the “chronically homeless” definition in 24 CFR 578.3.
Acceptable evidence of disability includes intake-staff recorded observations
of disability that, no later than 45 days from the application for assistance, is
confirmed and accompanied by evidence in paragraphs
24 CFR 578.103(a)(4)(i)(B)(1), (2), (3), or (5). HUD is waiving the
requirement to obtain additional evidence.
Justification: Waiving 24 CFR 578.103(a)(4)(i)(B)(4) as specified below will allow
recipients to house people by relying on intake staff-recorded observation of
disability while providing recipients’ intake staff with additional time to
confirm the disability. This will help households with observed disabilities
to be housed quickly and obtain the necessary documentation once
healthcare workers are no longer inundated by COVID-19 responses.
Applicability: The requirement that intake staff-recorded observation of disability be
confirmed and accompanied by other evidence no later than 45 days from the
application for assistance documentation requirement is waived for any
program participants admitted into PSH funded by the CoC Program for the
6-month period beginning on the date of this memorandum.
Note: For the purposes of individuals and families housed in PSH from the date of
4
this memorandum until public health officials determine no additional
special measures are necessary to prevent the spread of COVID-19, a written
certification by the individual seeking assistance that they have a qualifying
disability is considered acceptable documentation approved by HUD under
24 CFR 578.103(a)(4)(i)(B)(5).
3. Limit on Eligible Housing Search and Counseling Services
Requirement: With respect to program participant’s debts, 24 CFR 578.53(ed)(8)(ii)(B)
only allows the costs of credit counseling, accessing a free personal credit
report, and resolving personal credit issues. 24 CFR 578.53(d) limits the use
of CoC Program funds for providing services to only those costs listed in the
interim rule.
Citation: 24 CFR 578.53(e)(8)(ii)(B) and 578.53(d)
Explanation: 24 CFR 578.53(e)(8) allows recipients and subrecipients to use CoC funds to
pay for housing search and counseling services to help eligible program
participants locate, obtain, and retain suitable housing. For program
participants whose debt problems make it difficult to obtain housing,
24 CFR 578.53(e)(8)(ii)(B) makes eligible the costs of credit counseling,
accessing a free personal credit report, and resolving personal credit issues.
However, payment of rental or utility arrears is not included as an eligible
cost. 24 CFR 578.53(d) limits eligible supportive service costs to those
explicitly listed in 24 CFR 578.53(e), which is a more limited list than is
eligible under the McKinney-Vento Act.
Justification: Waiving the limitation of housing search and counseling eligible activities to
allow recipients and subrecipients to pay for up to 6 months of rental arrears
and 6 months of utility arrears will help recipients and subrecipients remove
barriers to obtaining housing quickly and help reduce the spread and harm of
COVID-19.
Applicability: The limitation on eligible housing search and counseling activities is waived
so that CoC Program funds may be used for up to 6 months of a program
participant’s utility arrears and up to 6 months of program participant’s rent
arrears, when those arrears make it difficult to obtain housing. This waiver
is in effect one-year beginning on the date of this memorandum.
4. Permanent Housing-Rapid Re-housing Monthly Case Management
Requirement: Recipients must require program participants of permanent housing – rapid
re-housing projects to meet with a case manager at least monthly.
Citation: 24 CFR 578.37(a)(1)(ii)(F)
5
Explanation: The CoC Program interim rule at 24 CFR 578.37(a)(1)(ii)(F) requires
program participants to meet with a case manager not less than once per
month to assist them in ensuring long-term housing stability. The project is
exempt from this requirement already if the Violence Against Women Act of
1994 (42 U.S.C. 13925 et seq.) or the Family Violence Prevention and
Services Act (42 U.S.C. 10401 et seq.) prohibits the recipient carrying out
the project from making its housing conditional on the participant's
acceptance of services.
Justification: Recipients are reporting limited staff capacity as staff members are home for
a variety of reasons related to COVID-19 (e.g., quarantining, children home
from school, working elsewhere in the community to manage the COVID-19
response). In addition, not all program participants have capacity to meet via
phone or internet. Waiving the monthly case management requirement as
specified below will allow recipients to provide case management on an as-
needed basis and reduce the possible spread and harm of COVID-19.
Applicability: This requirement in 24 CFR 578.37(a)(1)(ii)(F) that projects require program
participants to meet with case mangers not less than once per month is
waived for all permanent housing- rapid re-housing projects for two months
beginning on the date of this memorandum.
5. Housing Quality Standards (HQS) – Initial Physical Inspection of Unit
Requirement: Recipients are required to physically inspect any unit supported with leasing
or rental assistance funds to assure that the unit meets housing quality
standards (HQS) before any assistance will be provided on behalf of a
program participant.
Citation: 24 CFR 578.75(b)(1)
Explanation: 24 CFR 578.75(b)(1) requires that recipients or subrecipients physically
inspect each unit to assure that it meets HQS before any assistance will be
provided for that unit on behalf of a program participant.
Justification: Waiving the physical initial inspection requirement 24 CFR 578.75(b)(1) as
specified below will allow recipients to help prevent the spread of COVID-
19.
Applicability: This waiver of the requirement in 24 CFR 578.75(b)(1) that the recipient or
subrecipient physically inspect each unit to assure that the unit meets HQS
before providing assistance on behalf of a program participant is in effect for
6-months beginning on the date of this memorandum for recipients and
subrecipients that are able to meet the following criteria:
6
a. The recipient is able to visually inspect the unit using technology,
such as video streaming, to ensure the unit meets HQS before any
assistance is provided; and
b. The recipient or subrecipient has written policies to physically re-
inspect the unit within 3 months after the health officials determine
special measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 are no longer
necessary.
6. HQS – Re-Inspection of Units
Requirement: Recipients or subrecipients must inspect all units for which leasing or rental
assistance funds are used, at least annually to ensure they continue to meet
HQS.
Citation: 24 CFR 578.75(b)(2)
Explanation: 24 CFR 578.75(b)(2) requires that recipients or subrecipients are required to
inspect all units supported by leasing or rental assistance funding under the
CoC Program at least annually during the grant period to ensure the units
continue to meet HQS.
Justification: Waiving the annual re-inspection 24 CFR 578.75(b)(2) requirement during
this public health crisis as specified below will help allow recipients to
prevent the spread of COVID-19.
.
Applicability: This requirement in 24 CFR 578(b)(2) is waived for 1-year beginning on the
date of this memorandum.
7. One-Year Lease Requirement
Requirement: Program participants residing in PSH must be the tenant on a lease for a
term of at least one year that is renewable and terminable for cause.
Citation: 24 CFR 578.3, definition of permanent housing, 24 CFR 578.51(l)(1)
Explanation: The CoC Program regulation at 24 CFR 578.3, definition of permanent
housing, and 24 CFR 578.51(l)(1) requires program participants residing in
permanent housing to be the tenant on a lease for a term of one year that is
renewable and terminable for cause.
Justification: Waiving the one-year lease requirement as specified below will allow
recipients to more quickly identify permanent housing for individuals
and families experiencing homelessness, which is helpful in preventing the
spread of COVID-19.
Applicability: The one-year lease requirement is waived for six-months beginning on the
7
date of this memorandum, so long as the initial lease term of all leases is for
more than one month.
CONSOLIDATED PLAN REQUIREMENTS
8. Citizen Participation Public Comment Period for Consolidated Plan Amendment
Requirement: 30-day Public Comment Period.
Citations: 24 CFR 91.105(c)(2) and (k), 24 CFR 91.115(c)(2) and (i) and 24 CFR
91.401
Explanation: A CPD grantee may amend an approved consolidated plan in accordance
with 24 CFR 91.505. Substantial amendments to the consolidated plan are
subject to the citizen participation process in the grantee’s citizen
participation plan. The citizen participation plan must provide citizens with
30 days to comment on substantial amendments.
Justification: Given the need to expedite actions to respond to COVID-19, HUD waives
24 CFR 91.105(c)(2) and (k), 91.115(c)(2) and (i) as specified below, in
order to balance the need to respond quickly to the growing spread and
effects of COVID-19 with the statutory requirement to provide reasonable
notice and opportunity for citizens to comment on substantial amendments
concerning the proposed uses of CDBG, HOME, HTF, HOPWA or ESG
funds.
Applicability: This 30-day minimum for the required public comment period is waived for
substantial amendments, provided that no less than 5 days are provided for
public comments on each substantial amendment. The waiver is available
through the end of the recipient’s 2020 program year. Any recipient wishing
to undertake further amendments to prior year plans following the 2020
program year can do so during the development of its FY 2021 Annual
Action Plan.
9. Citizen Participation Reasonable Notice and Opportunity to Comment
Requirement: Reasonable Notice and Opportunity to Comment.
Citations: 24 CFR 91.105(c)(2) and (k), 24 CFR 91.115(c)(2) and (i) and 24 CFR
91.401
Explanation: As noted above, the regulations at 24 CFR 91.105 (for local governments)
and 91.115 (for States) set forth the citizen participation plan requirements
for recipients. For substantial amendments to the consolidated plan, the
regulations require the recipient to follow its citizen participation plan to
8
provide citizens with reasonable notice and opportunity to comment. The
citizen participation plan must state how reasonable notice and opportunity
to comment will be given.
Justification: HUD recognizes the efforts to contain COVID-19 require limiting public
gatherings, such as those often used to obtain citizen participation, and that
there is a need to respond quickly to the growing spread and effects of
COVID-19. Therefore, HUD waives 24 CFR 91.105(c)(2) and (k), 24 CFR
91.115(c)(2) and (i) and 24 CFR 91.401 as specified below to allow these
grantees to determine what constitutes reasonable notice and opportunity to
comment given their circumstances.
Applicability: This authority is in effect through the end of the 2020 program year.
EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANTS PROGRAM
10. HMIS Lead Activities
Requirement: ESG funds may be used to pay the costs of managing and operating the
HMIS, provided that the ESG recipient is the HMIS Lead.
Citation: 24 CFR 576.107(a)(2)
Explanation: To enable ESG-funded projects to participate in HMIS as required by section
416(f) of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act,
24 CFR 576.107(a)(2) authorizes the use of ESG funds for managing and
operating the HMIS (e.g., hosting and maintaining HMIS software or data,
upgrading, customizing, and enhancing the HMIS), only where the ESG
recipient is the HMIS Lead, as designated by the CoC.
Justification: Waiving the rule as specified below would allow more recipients to use ESG
funding to upgrade or enhance the HMIS as needed to incorporate ESG
program data related to COVID-19.
Applicability: The condition that the recipient must be the HMIS Lead to pay costs under
24 CFR 576.102(a)(2) is waived to the extent necessary to allow any
recipient to use ESG funds to pay costs of upgrading or enhancing its local
HMIS to incorporate data on ESG Program participants and ESG activities
related to COVID-19. This waiver is in effect for 6-months beginning on the
date of this memorandum.
11. Re-evaluations for Homelessness Prevention Assistance
Requirement: Homelessness prevention assistance is subject to re-evaluation of each
program participant’s eligibility need for assistance not less than once every
3 months.
9
Citation: 24 CFR 576.401(b)
Explanation: The ESG regulations at 24 CFR 576.401(b) requires recipients or
subrecipients providing homelessness prevention assistance to re-evaluate
the program participant’s eligibility, and the types and amounts of assistance
the program participant needs not less than once every 3 months.
Justification: Waiving re-evaluation requirement for homelessness prevention assistance
as specified below is necessary to help program participants remain stable in
housing during the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19.
Applicability: The required frequency of re-evaluations for homelessness prevention
assistance under section 576.401(b) is waived for up to 2-years beginning
on the date of this memorandum, so long as the recipient or subrecipient
conducts the required re-evaluations not less than once every 6 months.
12. Housing Stability Case Management
Requirement: Program participants receiving homelessness prevention or rapid re-housing
assistance must meet with a case manager not less than once per month,
unless certain statutory prohibitions apply.
Citation: 24 CFR 576.401(e)
Explanation: Under 24 CFR 576.401(e), the recipients or subrecipients must require
program participants to meet with a case manager not less than once per
month to assist them in ensuring long-term housing stability, unless the
Violence Against Women Act of 1994 or Family Violence Prevention and
Services Act prohibits the recipient or subrecipient from making its shelter or
housing conditional on the participant's acceptance of services.
Justification: Recipients are reporting limited staff capacity as staff members are home for
a variety of reasons related to COVID-19 (e.g., quarantining, children home
from school, working elsewhere in the community to manage the COVID-19
response). In addition, not all program participants have capacity to meet via
phone or internet. Waiving the monthly case management requirement as
specified below will allow recipients to provide case management on an as
needed basis and reduce the possible spread and harm of COVID-19.
Applicability: This waiver is in effect for two months beginning on the date of this
memorandum.
13. Restriction of Rental Assistance to Units with Rent at or Below FMR
Requirement: Restriction of rental assistance to units with rent at or below FMR.
10
Citation: 24 CFR 576.106(d)(1)
Explanation: Under 24 CFR 576.106(d)(1), rental assistance cannot be provided unless the
total rent is equal to or less than the FMR established by HUD, as provided
under 24 CFR Part 888, and complies with HUD’s standard of rent
reasonableness, as established under 24 CFR 982.507.
Justification: Quickly moving people into permanent housing is especially critical in
preventing the spread of COVID-19. Waiving the limit on rental assistance
to rents that are equal to or less than the FMR, established by HUD, will
assist recipients and subrecipients in more quickly locating additional units
to house individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
Applicability: The FMR restriction is waived for any individual or family receiving Rapid
Re-housing or Homelessness Prevention assistance who executes a lease for
a unit during the 6-month period beginning on the date of this memorandum.
The ESG recipient or subrecipient must still ensure that the units in which
ESG assistance is provided to these individuals and families meet the rent
reasonableness standard.
HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERSONS WITH AIDS (HOPWA)
14. HOPWA – Self-Certification of Income and Credible Information on HIV Status
Requirement: Source Documentation for Income and HIV Status Determinations.
Citation: 24 CFR 574.530, Recordkeeping
Explanation: Each grantee must maintain records to document compliance with
HOPWA requirements, which includes determining the eligibility of a
family to receive HOPWA assistance.
Justification: This waiver will permit HOPWA grantees and project sponsors to rely
upon a family member’s self-certification of income and credible
information on their HIV status (such as knowledge of their HIV-related
medical care) in lieu of source documentation to determine eligibility for
HOPWA assistance of families and grantees affected by COVID-19.
Applicability: Eligibility is restricted to a low-income person who is living with
HIV/AIDS and the family of such person. This waiver is in effect for
recipients who require written certification of the household seeking
assistance of their HIV status and income, and agree to obtain source
documentation of HIV status and income eligibility within 3 months of
public health officials determining no additional special measures are
necessary to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
11
15. HOPWA – FMR Rent Standard
Requirement: Rent Standard for Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA).
Citation: 24 CFR 574.320(a)(2), Rent Standard
Explanation: Grantees must establish rent standards for their tenant-based rental
assistance programs based on FMR (Fair Market Rent) or the HUD-
approved community-wide exception rent for unit size. Generally, the
TBRA payment may not exceed the difference between the rent standard
and 30 percent of the family's adjusted income.
Justification: This waiver of the FMR rent standard limit permits HOPWA grantees to
establish rent standards, by unit size, that are reasonable, and based upon
rents being charged for comparable unassisted units in the area, taking
into account the location, size, type, quality, amenities, facilities,
management and maintenance of each unit. Grantees, however, are
required to ensure the reasonableness of rent charged for a unit in
accordance with §574.320(a)(3).
This waiver is required to expedite efforts to identify suitable housing
units for rent to HOPWA beneficiaries and HOPWA-eligible families
that have been affected by COVID-19, and to provide assistance to
families that must rent units at rates that exceed the HOPWA grantee's
normal rent standard as calculated in accordance with §574.320(a)(2).
Applicability: Such rent standards may be used for up to one year beginning on the date
of this memorandum.
16. HOPWA – Property Standards for TBRA
Requirement: Property Standards for Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA)
Citation: 24 CFR 574.310(b), Housing Quality Standards
Explanation: This section of the HOPWA regulations provides that units occupied by
recipients of HOPWA TBRA meet the Housing Quality Standards (HQS)
established in this section.
Justification: This waiver is required to enable grantees and project sponsors to
expeditiously meet the critical housing needs of the many eligible
families that have been affected by COVID-19 while also minimizing
the spread of the coronavirus.
Applicability: This waiver is in effect for one year beginning on the date of this
memorandum for recipients and project sponsors that are able to meet the
12
following criteria:
a. The recipient or project sponsor is able to visually inspect the unit
using technology, such as video streaming, to ensure the unit meets
HQS before any assistance is provided; and
b. The recipient or subrecipient has written policies to physically re-
inspect the unit after the health officials determine special
measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 are no longer
necessary.
17. HOPWA Space and Security
Requirement: Adequate Space and Security.
Citation: 24 CFR 574.310(b)(2)(iii), Space and security
Explanation: This section of the HOPWA regulations provide that each resident must
be afforded adequate space and security for themselves and their
belongings.
Justification: This waiver is required to enable grantees and project sponsors operating
housing facilities and shared housing arrangements the flexibility to use
optional appropriate spaces for quarantine services of eligible households
affected by COVID-19. Optional spaces may include the placement of
families in a hotel/motel room where family members may be required to
utilize the same space not allowing for adequate space and security for
themselves and their belongings.
Applicability: This space and security requirement is waived for grantees addressing
appropriate quarantine space for affected eligible households during the
allotted quarantined time frame recommended by local health care
professionals.

Summary of Public Comment
Summary of Public Comment:
A public comment period for the Substantial Amendments to 2020-24 Consolidated Plan and 2020-21

Exhibit 9
HAND Public Process
PUBLIC PROCESS:
The 2020-2024 Citizen Participation Plan (Appendix C of the 2020-2014 Consolidated Plan)
specifies the policies and procedures that encourage participation by Salt Lake City residents in
the planning, implementation, and ongoing evaluation of the City’s Consolidated Plan as
required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Citizen
Participation Plan encourages participation from citizens in neighborhoods that receive
significant federal funding and from citizens living throughout the City.
The public is invited to comment on the Substantial Amendments to the Consolidated Plan
before adoption by City Council. Per the guidance outlined in Consolidated Plan announcements
of a Substantial Amendment may be communicated by the following way(s):
1. Public Notice to HAND’s comprehensive email/mailing list; or
2. Press Release, released through the Mayor’s Office; or
3. Details will be posted on Housing and Neighborhood Development’s website; or
4. Additional outreach may include utilizing the Mayor’s social media platforms and other
applicable forms of electronic communication, meetings, training, and noticing.
In all areas, the City will look to include the use of electronic communication, meetings, training,
noticing, outreach, etc. where appropriate so long as it is clearly communicated for participation
by the general public.
Electronic draft documents of Substantial Amendments will be made available for public review
and comment. Where allowable, the City will follow the required noticing of fourteen (14)
calendar days.
An electronic version of the Substantial Amendments to the Consolidated Plan will be posted on

HAND Grant Management
GRANT ADMINISTRATION: Salt Lake City will solicit applications for CARES HUD-CV
in the form of a public noticed, competitive bid process. Eligible applicants will be local service
providers or agencies who provide activities and services that prevent, prepare for, and respond
to coronavirus. HAND will review applications to determine eligibility based on HUD
regulation, and evaluate the applications based on the goals and strategies in the City’s
Consolidated Plan for 2020-2024.
The Community Development and Capital Improvements Program (CD-CIP) Board will review
the applications and make funding recommendations to the Mayor and City Council for
consideration. The Mayor will review the funding requests and the CD-CIP’s recommendations.
The Mayor will then submit her recommendations to the City Council. The City Council will
review the funding requests and Mayor’s recommendations, hold a public hearing to accept
public comment on the requests, and allocate funding to Subgrantees.
HAND will execute written grant agreements with Subgrantees which will require compliance
with all federal requirements as well as City policies. The agreements define the Subgrantees’
performance measurements, billing procedures, required documentation, and reporting
procedures. The scope of service sections outlines the approved activities to be performed by the
Subgrantees and the budget sections outline the amount of funding allocated to each of the
activities for which they receive funding.
The City’s grant agreements also require the submission of quarterly and annual reports
documenting accomplishments. HAND reviews these reports to ensure the information it reports
to HUD in the CAPER and IDIS is complete, accurate, timely, and reflects comprehensive
performance data. HAND interacts with Subgrantees throughout the program year through
technical assistance, the coordination of activities, program management, financial management,
and technical assistance.
Subgrantees are trained in the regulations and requirements specific to CV funding. The City will
also require each Subgrantee to input client data into a statewide HMIS system for all ESG and
HOPWA programs. The City will continue to have dedicated staff to monitor Subgrantees for
compliance in accordance with the City’s current monitoring policies. Furthermore, Subgrantees
will be required to annually certify that they have written policies and procedures that govern the
HUD program and follow the documentation standards. All Subgrantees are subject to monitored
by the City to verify for compliance.

COUNCIL STAFF MEMO
CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY
TO:City Council Members
FROM: Jennifer Bruno, Deputy Director
DATE: February 9, 2021
RE:Update on Windstorm Budget
The Administration has provided the following information to the Council, and will
walk through the information at the Council’s work session.
The Administration wants to keep the Council updated on the windstorm budget and would
like to request a change of use. In the summary details we had line item estimates of the
project needs for expenditures. Since that time it has become apparent that some of these
expenses are lower, but that there are additional needs. Please see below the change of use
and the budget impact. The administration is not requesting an additional budget just a
change of use. The Administration would like to request a straw poll on the items below to
move forward, since both items are time sensitive requests. Thank you for all your help in
this matter.
Item 1: ROW
o Sprinkler repairs: $45,000 (estimating 150 locations @ $300 each)
Item 2: Cemetery ($264,800 + cost of removing and reinstalling monuments)
o sod replacement: $48,000 (estimating 40,000 sqf @ $1.20/sqf)
o Monument / artifact extraction, reposition and re-install: $151,800 (253
headstones/monuments @ $600 [cost for extraction or removal + resetting in
place])
o Curb, gutter and asphalt repair/reconstruction: $10,000
o Contracted sprinkler repair (only in the event that need surpasses in-house
capacity in the Spring): $55,000
Page | 2
Item 1: Landscape repairs. Stump removal and sidewalk repair revealed extensive damage to
privately owned sprinkler systems. The damage is greater than we expected and exceeds
Public Service’s ability to make the repairs in-house. After consultation with Risk
Management, we determined the best route is to issue a contract. Locations for repairs are
being identified by the contractor doing stump removal and city staff. We will make contact
with property owners and offer the repair. Repairs will be limited to windstorm damage.
Whereas we have identified several locations, we are expecting to learn about more of more
locations once residents turn on their irrigation systems later in the year. Risk Management
will assist with a mechanism to “close the claim” to avoid repeated repairs. Faulty work will be
corrected by the contractor. The contract also includes sod replacement at the Cemetery,
which will occur after the archeologist and monument repair/reset work are done.
Landscaping work is not FEMA eligible.
Item 2: Monument repairs. The archeologist for the Cemetery is not able to do the
headstone/monument work we will need, such as removing them from root balls (critical task
to complete before stumps/trees can be removed and holes filled), making repairs, and
resetting them at the plot. We need to issue a contract for this work although it is typically
handled by the plot owner. We have not confirmed the city will pay for the restoration work,
but the council and admin indicated they support having the city fund the work. Only the
archeologist work was funded in the BA.
We will issue a contract for the work but need 1) approval to fund the work, and 2) approval
to use the BA. If the funds are not approved for repair and replacement work, the contract will
only include proper extraction and handling of headstones/monuments within the fall zone of
a tree or currently embedded in root balls. Monument restoration and resetting will be left to
plot owners. We suspect this work is not FEMA eligible. There are other necessary Cemetery
repairs to roads and walls that may or may not be FEMA eligible.
All of the work is time-sensitive with a priority on Cemetery opening and partial restoration
by Memorial Day.

➢ Are Council Members supportive of considering a resolution?
Councilmember Fowler suggested the Council review the email from Smart City
Policy Group, coordinate with Staff if there are any questions, and let Staff
know if they were interested/not interested.
Cindy Gust Jenson said the email would be redistributed for immediate
attention, a draft of the resolution would be requested from the organization,
and Staff will them know that the Council’s decision is pending. She said a draft
resolution will be made available to the Council as soon as possible (before a
commitment is implied).
