CITY COUNCIL TRANSMITTAL
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Salt Lake City 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan (the “Draft Plan”)
provides an outline on how Salt Lake City will prioritize and utilize funding from the following grants:
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), HOME Investment
Partnership Program (HOME), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) over the
next five program years. Further, the Draft Plan provides a framework for maximizing and leveraging the
City’s block grant allocations to develop and enhance livable, healthy, and sustainable neighborhoods.
Based upon identified needs within the community, the Draft Plan focuses resources around six areas:
housing, homeless services, transportation, community services, business and workforce development,
and environmental remediation. In addition, the Draft Plan proposes a geographic target area where funds
will be leveraged with other City efforts. For the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan period, Salt Lake City
anticipates receiving a total of $23,702,528 in federal funding through the CDBG, HOME, ESG, and
HOPWA programs, averaging $5,925,632 annually. Additionally, the City expects $6 million in program
income over the same period, averaging $1.5 million annually.
Updated Information (January 2025)
On October 1, 2024, Council was briefed by Housing Stability regarding the overall planning process,
draft goals and objectives, and the draft Target Area Map. Subsequently, the Council’s feedback was
incorporated into the planning process. Currently, the Draft Plan is being provided to initiate the public
input process and, once the public input process is complete, for the Council’s consideration of adoption –
refer to Exhibit A: Draft 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan.
On February 13, 2025, Housing Stability will release the Draft Plan to initiate the 30-day public comment
period as required by HUD.
This update provides an overview of the following:
• Overview of the Draft Plan, including the proposed Target Area Map.
• Review of the proposed goals and strategies.
• Updated timeline and tasks to finalize and adopt the Draft Plan.
Draft 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan Overview
The Draft Plan responds to required HUD questions and data sets and includes the following sections:
The Process – this section identifies the lead agencies responsible for developing the plan and
administering the grants. Additionally, this section details the consultation process with service
providers, other stakeholders, and citizen participation efforts, ensuring a collaborative and
inclusive approach to planning. This section begins on page 21 of the Draft Plan.
Needs Assessment – this section, in conjunction with information gathered through consultations
and the citizen participation process, provides a clear picture of the City’s needs related to
Housing; Homeless Services; Community Services; Transportation, Streets and Utilities; and
Business and Job Training Support. From the Needs Assessment, the City identifies those needs
with the highest priority to form the basis of the Strategic Plan providing a roadmap for programs
and projects to be administered. This section begins on page 66 of the Draft Plan.
Housing Market Assessment – this section outlines the environment in which Salt Lake City
will implement its federal grant programs over the Consolidated Plan period. Building off
Thriving in Place and Housing SLC, the Housing Market Analysis provides a clear picture of the
environment in which Salt Lake City will administer federal grant programs over the course of
the Consolidated Plan. In conjunction with the Needs Assessment, the Market Analysis provides
the basis for the Strategic Plan and the programs and projects to be administered. This section
begins on page 152 of the Draft Plan.
Strategic Plan – this section identifies the City’s priority needs and describes strategies that the
City will undertake to serve priority needs over the five year period. The strategies must reflect
the current condition of the market, expected availability of funds, and the City’s capacity to
administer the plan in conjunction with community partners. There is a very strong link between
the Needs Assessment and the Strategic Plan portions of the Consolidated Plan. This Section
begins on page 236 of the Draft Plan.
Target Area Map – this map identifies the old and new target area boundaries and can be found
on page 242 of the Draft Plan. This map is used to target Neighborhood Business Improvement
Program (“NBIP” or “façade program”) funding. This map will be reevaluated with Council
during the annual HUD allocation process every two years.
Draft 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan Goals
The Draft Plan identifies specific goals and strategies for six areas: housing, homeless services,
transportation, community services, business and workforce development, and environmental
remediation. Note that these goals and strategies have been modified since the Council reviewed them on
October 1, 2024. In particular, a new goal, “Environmental Remediation,” has been added to address
environmental contamination issues that pose health concerns and may impede development.
Housing Priorities
Goal – Protect tenants and increase housing stability, preserve existing affordable housing, and
produce more affordable housing.
Strategies:
1. Enhance tenant resources and services to prevent displacement.
2. Expand Tenant-Based Rental Assistance programs to help seniors age in place.
3. Invest in home rehabilitation, emergency repair, and seismic retrofit programs to improve
existing housing stock.
4. Acquire and rehabilitate naturally occurring affordable housing.
5. Establish and support community land trusts to ensure long-term affordability.
6. Provide incentives for the development of mixed-income, family-oriented, and accessible
housing, with a focus on not concentrating deeply affordable housing in Westside
neighborhoods.
7. Promote affordable homeownership and wealth-building opportunities for low-income
families.
Homeless Services
Goal – Expand and enhance services and resources that prevent homelessness, increase access to
and availability of support services and case management for people experiencing and at risk of
homelessness, and prioritize resources and services for individuals experiencing unsheltered
homelessness.
Strategies:
1. Increase rent assistance programs to stabilize housing.
2. Develop a Relocation Assistance Fund for tenants facing displacement.
3. Implement and enforce a Displaced Tenant Preference Policy.
4. Fund legal aid programs for eviction prevention and criminal record expungement.
5. Invest in wraparound services beyond shelters, including medical and dental care.
6. Create a centralized database to facilitate collaboration among service providers and
expedite housing placements.
7. Expand mobile homeless resources, such as health services and outreach programs.
8. Support the development of non-congregate housing options, managed camping areas,
and accessible storage facilities.
Transportation
Goal – Make transit and active transportation competitive and attractive modes of travel, support
investments that will move toward a goal of zero traffic deaths and heal the east/west
transportation divide.
Strategies:
1. Expand transit accessibility through programs like HivePass.
2. Fund sidewalk improvement programs and expand ADA-compliant curb cuts across
neighborhoods.
3. Implement safety measures around schools, parks, and employment centers to enhance
pedestrian and cyclist safety.
4. Improve roadway safety and transit connectivity by increasing bus stop shelters, route
frequency, and destination options.
Community Services
Goal – Improve access and opportunity to relevant and dignified food choices, increase access to
high-quality and affordable childcare and out-of-school care, and improve access to technology
literacy.
Strategies:
1. Support programs that offer affordable and relevant food choices to underserved
populations.
2. Provide resources to help parents access affordable and reliable childcare, including
childcare programs focused on early childhood development. Increase affordability and
service capacity for children of all ages and stages of development.
3. Provide resources to help parents access affordable and reliable childcare.
4. Develop and expand technology centers to enhance digital literacy.
5. Implement broadband initiatives and increase free WiFi availability in public spaces.
Business and Workforce Development
Goal – Job training and support services, small business support, and small local business façade
improvements.
Strategies:
1. Prioritize job training programs, especially in trades, with apprenticeships and
internships.
2. Offer wraparound services such as childcare, English language learner (ELL) education,
and career counseling to support job seekers.
3. Focus on training programs for youth and individuals experiencing homelessness, with
incentives for businesses to hire trained individuals.
4. Expand small business support through grant programs, low-interest gap loans, and
simplified application processes, particularly targeting underserved communities.
5. Subsidize lease programs for neighborhood-level small businesses and nonprofits.
6. Broaden the scope of the façade improvement program to assist more businesses in
beautification efforts and ADA compliance.
Environmental Remediation
Goal – Conduct environmental contamination testing and remediation.
Strategies:
• Improve remediation efforts on westside properties that were once manufacturing,
industrial use, and dumping sites.
• Allow funding to fill the gaps left by other funding sources.
Data Sources
The Draft Plan was compiled using the most recent data available from multiple sources. It is important to
highlight two of these sources as each are used independently since they correlate with different datasets.
• HUD periodically receives custom tabulations of data from the US Census Bureau that are
largely not available through standard Census products. This data, known as Comprehensive
Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) demonstrates the extent of housing problems and
housing needs, particularly for low income households. The CHAS data is used by local
governments to plan how to spend HUD funds and may be used by the same agency to distribute
grant funding.
• The American Community Survey (ACS) is a mandatory, ongoing statistical survey that samples
a small percentage of the population every year. The ACS creates period estimates which
represent the characteristics of the population and housing types (or status) over a specific data
collection period. These are one-year, three-year and five-year estimates.
Overview of Major Plan Changes
Eligible Activities
The goals and eligible activities for the Draft Plan have changed from the previous Consolidated Plan to
meet new growing needs in the community, highlighted during multiple stakeholder meetings and the
October 1, 2024 Council briefing. The Draft Plan expands on three of the previous five goals to help the
City target specific community needs.
Housing was expanded to include:
• Acquire and rehabilitate naturally occurring affordable housing.
• Invest in community land trusts for long-term affordability.
• Incentivize the development of mixed-income, family-oriented, and accessible housing.
Homeless Services was expanded to include:
• Invest in legal assistance for individuals facing eviction or in need of criminal record
expungement.
• Increase the impact of homeless resource fairs.
• Invest in programs offering wraparound services beyond the shelter system, including
medical and dental care.
• Develop a database for service providers to collaborate with landlords and expedite housing
placement.
• Fund and expand mobile homeless resources, such as mobile health services, outreach, and
resource programs.
• Non-congregate housing options, improvement of existing facilities and services, managed
camping areas and storage areas.
Transportation, Streets, and Utilities was renamed to Transportation and was expanded to
include:
• Fund 50/50 sidewalk programs for businesses and expand ADA curb cuts on more streets to
improve accessibility
• Improving and increasing bus stops and stop shelters, route frequency, and destinations
Community Resiliency was renamed to Community Services to clarify the goal’s objectives.
Business and Workforce Development was added to assist small, locally owned commercial
businesses in low to moderate-income areas and help prioritize investment in workforce development
within the community.
Environmental Remediation was added to focus on testing and remediating old manufacturing,
industrial, and dumping sites on the westside.
Local Geographic Target Area
HUD requires the City to identify local geographic target areas where funds would be leveraged with
other City efforts. The map, found of page 242 of the Draft Plan, shows the suggested expansion of the
previous westside target area to include neighborhoods that stakeholder meetings and the council have
indicated could need future investment and targeting.
Next Steps
HUD must receive the approved 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan from Salt Lake City no later than May 15,
2025. In order to meet this deadline, Housing Stability staff anticipates presenting the Draft Plan to the
Council on February 11, 2025. The Council briefing on the first year of the plan (First Year Action Plan)
will need to happen in March. Due to the HUD’s timing requirements, the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan
and First Year Action Plan must be adopted no later than April 15, 2025 in order to provide enough time
for Housing Stability staff to complete the plan for submittal to HUD.
PUBLIC PROCESS: The development of the Draft Plan includes many opportunities for the public to
participate.
• The Internal Stakeholders Group met twice during July and August 2024. This group is made up
of ~40 City Council Staff, Mayor’s Office Staff, and City Departments/Divisions staff.
• External Stakeholders Group met twice during July and August 2024. This group is made up of
~45 members of our community that are experts in the fields in which they represent, including
representatives from neighborhood councils. Participants were experts in topic areas such as
housing, youth services, childcare, education, homeless services, employment, transportation,
substance abuse and addictions, healthcare, disability/fair housing, mental health, financing
partners, and government partners.
• A Community Online Survey was launched on May 10, 2024, and ran through October 21, 2024.
The survey was pushed out via multiple platforms, including public events and social media, to
reach the largest number of participants.
• Public Community Events: Housing Stability and Public Affairs Lab staff attended 13 community
events to seek feedback from attendees. This occurred during the summer and fall of 2024.
• Public Hearing: Per federal requirements, the City must host two Public Hearings at different
points in the process. The first was held on October 1st, 2024 during the formal meeting
immediately following the first briefing, to provide a platform for constituents to identify needs
for the City to consider for prioritization. The second will be held on March 4, 2025 while the
public comment period is open.
• 30-Day Public Comment Period: A 30-day public comment period is required by HUD prior to
the submission of a final adopted Plan. Housing Stability will ensure the public is informed of the
30-day public comment period and will solicit comments.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Executive Summary serves as an introduction and summarizes the process of developing the
plan, the key findings utilized to develop priorities, and how the proposed goals and objectives will
address those priorities.
ES-05 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
Salt Lake City’s 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan is the product of a collaborative process to identify
housing and community development needs. It establishes goals, priorities, and strategies to
address those needs. This five-year plan provides a framework to maximize and leverage the city’s
block grant allocations, focusing on building healthy and sustainable communities. These efforts
align with 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 include:
1.Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
o Objective: To promote the development of viable urban communities by providing
decent housing, suitable living environments, and expanded economic activities for
persons of low- and moderate-income.
2.Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
o Objective: To assist individuals and families in regaining housing stability after
experiencing a housing or homelessness crisis.
3.HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME)
o Objective: To create affordable housing opportunities for low -income households.
4.Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)
o Objective: To provide housing assistance and related supportive services to persons
living with HIV/AIDS and their families.
Similar to cities across the country, Salt Lake City is grappling with housing prices that are rising
faster than wages, leading to a critical shortage of affordable housing. This Consolidated Plan sets
forth a comprehensive policy framework to address the City’s current challenges through innovative
and collaborative strategies.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 6
Affordable and safe housing is the cornerstone of efforts to help individuals escape poverty and
avoid homelessness. Recognizing the interconnected nature of housing and other critical needs, Salt
Lake City emphasizes that housing must also be linked to opportunities for education, transit,
recreation, economic development, healthcare, and essential services. Rather than tackling these
challenges in isolation, the City employs a comprehensive and geographically -focused approach to
community development, integrating these elements into its Consolidated Plan.
The 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan encourages investment in neighborhoods with concentrated
poverty and supports at-risk populations by advancing goals to increase access to housing,
transportation, economic development, and critical services. Building on the achievements of the
previous Consolidated Plan, Salt Lake City is committed to narrowing gaps in key socioeconomic
indicators. These include improving housing affordability, providing job training, enhancing
transportation access for low-income households, expanding homeless prevention services, and
increasing access to medical, dental, and behavioral health services for at-risk populations.
In addition to creating opportunities for low-income households in areas of concentrated poverty,
Salt Lake City will continue prioritizing essential housing and supportive services for the City’s most
vulnerable populations. This includes a focused effort to assist the chronically homeless, homeless
families, disabled persons, victims of domestic violence, persons living with HIV/AIDS, and low -
income elderly residents.
Process and Overview
The 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan is organized into four primary sections, as follows:
I.The Process This section outlines the development of the Plan, detailing citizen
participation efforts and stakeholder involvement. It highlights the collaborative steps
taken to ensure diverse input and representation in shaping the Plan.
II. Needs Assessment (NA) The Needs Assessment section analyzes housing, homelessness, and
community development needs. It places special emphasis on low -income households, racial and
ethnic minorities, homeless persons, and non-homeless special needs populations, offering a
detailed perspective on the challenges facing these groups.
III. Housing Market Analysis (MA) This section provides a comprehensive evaluation of Salt Lake City’s
housing market, including data on local resources and trends. The analysis supplements the Needs
Assessment, laying the groundwork for developing five -year goals and priorities.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 7
IV. Five-Year Strategic Plan (SP) Based on identified community needs, market conditions, and
resources, this section sets forth program goals, specific strategies, and benchmarks for measuring
progress. It prioritizes efforts to allocate federal funding effectively, maximizing impact within the
community.
Throughout this Plan period, Salt Lake City will implement strategies and allocate funding resources
to address community responses to emergency needs. This includes preparing for, responding to,
and recovering from community-wide emergencies. Such emergencies will likely be identified
through national, state, or local declarations of a state of emergency. Where feasible, Salt Lake City
will maximize all available resources to effectively respond to these situations.
The 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan planning process will conclude with the development of the City’s
First-Year Action Plan. This Action Plan will detail the activities and funding priorities for the first year
of the Consolidated Plan, covering the period from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026.
2. OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES IDENTIFIED IN THE PLAN

4. SUMMARY OF CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PROCESS AND
CONSULTATION PROCESS:
Citizen participation plays a vital role in the Consolidated Plan planning process, ensuring that goals
and priorities align with community needs and preferences. It also serves as an opportunity to
educate the community about the City’s federal grant programs. To achieve this, Salt Lake City
engaged a diverse group of stakeholders and community members during the development of the
2025-2029 Consolidated Plan.
The public engagement process included a variety of methods, such as a citywide survey, public
hearings, public meetings, one-on-one meetings, stakeholder committee meetings, and a public
comment period. This comprehensive approach ensured broad participation and input from various
sectors.
The City gathered feedback and support from residents, homeless service providers, low -income
service providers, anti-poverty advocates, healthcare providers, housing advocates, housing
developers, housing authorities, community development organizations, educational institutions,
transit authority planners, and various City divisions and departments, among others.

PR- 10 CONSULTATION |24 CFR 91.100, 91.200(B), 91.215(I)
INTRODUCTION:
Salt Lake City conducted extensive outreach with representatives from low -income neighborhoods,
housing and social service providers, homeless shelters, faith-based organizations, community
stakeholders, City departments, and others. These comprehensive efforts engaged over 600
stakeholders during a one-year period. More details on the citizen participation process can be
found in the ‘PR-15 Citizen Participation’ section.
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(I)).
The City undertook a proactive, community-focused approach to gather public and stakeholder
input for shaping the goals, strategies, and priorities of the Consolidated Plan. A Stakeholder
Advisory Committee was established, convening four times throughout the planning process to
provide insights and guidance. Additionally, the City collaborated closely with service providers and
government agencies to collect and analyze data, forming the foundation of 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 homelessnes s:
Salt Lake City representatives played an active role in the Salt Lake Valley Coalition to End
Homelessness (SLVCEH), the organization overseeing the Continuum of Care (CoC). The SLVCEH is
dedicated to ending homelessness in the Salt Lake Valley through a coordinated, system-wide
approach that leverages resources, services, data collection, analysis, and stakeholder collaboration.
By building community consensus, the Coalition establishes and works to achieve measurable
outcomes. To address the needs of the Salt Lake County community, the Coalition collaborates with
key stakeholders. City representatives contributed to these efforts by serving on the SLVCEH
Steering Committee and actively participating in meetings and initiatives.
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, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS:
Salt Lake City representatives collaborated with the state's other two Continuums of Care (CoCs)—
Mountainlands and Balance of State—alongside city, state, and county officials to guide and support
funding decisions aligned with the Salt Lake Valley Coalition to End Homelessness (SLVCEH) priorities
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 15
for Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) allocations. Using data sources such as the annual Point-in-
Time Count and outputs from the Utah Homeless Management Information System (UHMIS),
City representatives worked with SLVCEH members to evaluate progress against shared metrics.
These metrics included the average length of homelessness, the likelihood of individuals returning
to homelessness, and the percentage of successful exits from emergency shelter, transitional
housing, and rapid rehousing into permanent housing. To ensure consistency and accountability,
the City adopted standardized measures to evaluate service providers collaboratively with SLVCEH
members.
City representatives also played a key role in discussions on funding, policies, and procedures for
administering UHMIS. This system enables homeless service providers to coordinate care, manage
operations, and improve client services by tracking individual service needs over time. All ESG-
funded entities are required to participate in UHMIS.
Additionally, City representatives contributed to the development of uniform data standards and the
creation of an HMIS training manual. The manual serves as a comprehensive guide for CoCs, HMIS
Lead Agencies, System Administrators, and users, outlining requirements for accurate data
collection. They also facilitated the dissemination of the HMIS Data Dictionary, which deflnes data
elements and compliance standards for HMIS Vendors and System Administrators, ensuring system -
wide alignment and accountability.

SUMMARIZE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PROCESS AND HOW IT
IMPACTED GOAL SETTING.
The City is committed to fostering livable, healthy, and sustainable neighborhoods through
thoughtful planning and actionable initiatives that refiect the needs and values of the local
community. Guided by its core principles of inclusiveness and innovation, the City prioritizes
equitable service delivery, strategic funding, and the creation of housing opportunities. These efforts
aim to enhance the quality of life for individuals and families, particularly in underserved and under -
resourced communities.
The City acknowledges that robust citizen participation is essential to developing a Consolidated
Plan that accurately refiects the needs of affected individuals and residents. In compliance with 24
CFR 91.105, the City engaged in an extensive year-long outreach effort to encourage public
involvement. Between April 2024 and October 2024, more than 1,000 residents, stakeholders,
agency partners, and City officials contributed to the process through proactive, co mmunity-based
outreach, stakeholder engagement, and online surveys.
To ensure comprehensive participation, the City engaged affected individuals and residents through
a variety of methods, including stakeholder consultations, a community survey, community events,
public meetings, public hearings, public comment periods, and one-on-one discussions. The
following sections provide an overview of these efforts and their impact on the development of the
Consolidated Plan.
CONSOLIDATED PLAN SURVEY
The City developed a survey to gather feedback from residents on their priorities for housing,
economic development, and public services, particularly in the most underserved and under-
resourced areas of the community. To ensure accessibility and inclusivity, the survey and all related
materials were translated into Spanish, with additional language translation services made available
upon request.
The survey was made widely accessible by being posted on the City’s website and social media
platforms and distributed to thousands of residents through the City’s email lists and at public
events. To further expand outreach, fiyers featuring Quick Response (QR) codes were created and
shared with members of the stakeholder advisory committee and interdepartmental working
groups. These members were encouraged to disseminate the fiyer within their respective networks
to maximize participation.

Internal Stakeholder Engagement
The internal stakeholder engagement process involved consultations with city officials, staff from
various city departments, local service providers, and other key entities involved in the
administration of housing, community services, and economic development. Their insights were
crucial in identifying structural and operational challenges in implementing the 2020-2024
Consolidated Plan and ensuring improvements are made for the 2025-2029 cycle.
The internal stakeholders echoed many of the concerns raised by community stakeholders but
focused more deeply on the systemic issues within city administration and service delivery that
need to be addressed for future success. Key areas of focus for internal stakeholders included
improving inter-agency collaboration, addressing bottlenecks in service delivery, and ensuring that
new programs are both scalable and sustainable over the long term.
Housing
Internal stakeholders highlighted the persistent challenge of providing affordable housing, especially
for larger families and vulnerable populations, such as refugees and low-income residents. They
emphasized that while housing vouchers are an important tool, there are systemic barriers in the
current housing market that limit their effectiveness, such as long waitlists, rising rental costs, and
inadequate housing stock.
Stakeholders also raised the issue of zoning regulations, noting that changes to zoning policies often
bypass community input and may inadvertently create barriers to affordable housing development.
They advocated for more inclusive zoning practices that prioritize affordability and prevent
displacement.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 53
Key Feedback and Recommendations:
•Raise wages to better match the rising cost of housing and improve residents' ability to
afford rent.
•Expand the use of community land trusts to ensure long-term housing affordability by
keeping land in communal ownership, preventing speculation, and reducing displacement.
•Streamline the housing voucher system to reduce waiting times and ensure better
coverage of rental costs.

Homeless Services
Internal stakeholders provided detailed insights into the challenges of delivering services to Salt
Lake City’s homeless population. The high demand for shelter services, combined with limited staff
resources and high turnover rates, has strained the current system. Internal stakeholders
emphasized the need for greater coordination between service providers, as well as an expansion of
shelter space and wraparound services for the homeless population.
Additionally, there was consensus that existing services need to be more mobile and responsive to
meet the needs of unsheltered individuals who may not be able to access traditional shelters. This
includes expanding mobile clinics and outreach teams to provide healthcare and basic services
directly to homeless populations.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 54
Key Feedback and Recommendations:
•Expand shelter capacity and invest in additional facilities that offer non-congregate shelter
spaces to ensure the safety and comfort of homeless individuals.
•Increase funding for mobile homeless services, such as mobile clinics and outreach
programs, to reach individuals who are not accessing shelters.

would act as a central hub where residents can access multiple services—housing assistance, food
security programs, healthcare, and job training—all in one location. This would reduce barriers to
service and improve coordination across agencies.
There was also a call to enhance food security programs by partnering with local nonproflts and
expanding the city’s capacity to provide nutritious food options. In addition, childcare services were
seen as a critical area requiring more investment, particularly in low -income neighborhoods where
working families struggle to afford care.

Conclusion
The stakeholder engagement process for the 2025-2029 Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan provided
critical insights into the current and future needs of the community, with feedback gathered from
both external community stakeholders and internal key stakeholders. Across both groups,
several common themes emerged, demonstrating a shared understanding of the challenges facing
Salt Lake City. These commonalities highlight the need for coordinated efforts to ensure that the city
can address the concerns of its most vulnerable populations and foster sustainable growth.
Key Commonalities Between External and Internal Stakeholders
1. Affordable Housing as a Priority
Both external and internal stakeholders identifled affordable housing as one of the most pressing
needs in Salt Lake City. Stakeholders from both groups emphasized the importance of expanding
the availability of affordable housing, particularly for families and vulnerable populations such as
refugees, seniors, and low-income residents. They also highlighted the necessity of preserving
existing housing stock, through investments in rehabilitation programs and the promotion of
community land trusts to ensure long-term affordability.
•External stakeholders focused on the lack of family-sized units and the importance of
emergency rental assistance, calling for more accessible and faster support for those at risk
of eviction.
•Internal stakeholders echoed these concerns and stressed the need to streamline
housing voucher systems and align wages with the rising costs of housing. They also
proposed inclusive zoning policies that prioritize affordability and prevent displacement.
Both groups agreed on the importance of landlord/tenant mediation services to prevent evictions
and the need for policies that address the affordability gap caused by rising rents and stagnant
wages.
2. Enhancing Homeless Services
The need for improved homeless services was a shared priority across both groups, with
stakeholders agreeing that the current system is overburdened and requires signiflcant
improvements in capacity, coordination, and resources. Both internal and external stakeholders
emphasized the necessity of expanding shelter space and providing more non-congregated
shelter options to ensure the safety and dignity of homeless individuals.
•External stakeholders emphasized the need for wraparound services that address the
speciflc needs of diverse groups, such as youth, people of color, and refugees. They also
highlighted the importance of job training and rental assistance to help homeless
individuals transition into permanent housing.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 58
•Internal stakeholders reinforced these points, stressing the importance of improving case
management and ensuring that homeless services are mobile and responsive to
individuals who may not be able to access traditional shelters.
Both groups recognized the need for more healthcare services, particularly for mental health and
substance abuse, within the homeless population. They agreed that greater inter-agency
coordination is essential to ensuring that services are efficiently delivered and that gaps in care are
addressed.
3. Community Services and Accessibility
A shared concern from both external and internal stakeholders was the need to improve access to
community services. Both groups expressed the desire for a more streamlined approach to service
delivery, with calls for a universal service center where residents can access multiple services—
housing support, food security programs, healthcare, and employment assistance—under one roof.
•External stakeholders emphasized the need for accessible and affordable childcare,
particularly for working families in low-income areas. They also highlighted the importance
of expanding food security programs and ensuring that transportation barriers do not
prevent residents from accessing services.
•Internal stakeholders echoed these concerns, calling for increased investment in mental
health services and childcare. They also pointed to the importance of expanding
transportation options to ensure that seniors, refugees, and disabled individuals can
access services without difficulty.
Both groups emphasized the need for more fiexible service hours and the importance of
partnerships with local nonproflts and community organizations to expand service delivery and
address gaps in care.
4. Infrastructure Improvements
Stakeholders across both groups highlighted the need to address aging infrastructure, particularly
streets, sewer systems, and sidewalks. Public safety was a recurring theme, with both external
and internal stakeholders calling for better street lighting, sidewalk maintenance, and improved
pedestrian safety measures. They also emphasized the importance of expanding public
transportation, particularly for underserved areas, to reduce reliance on cars and improve
connectivity between neighborhoods and employment centers.
•External stakeholders stressed the need for more benches, bus shelters, and bike lanes
to encourage the use of public and active transportation.
•Internal stakeholders reinforced the call for improved sidewalk maintenance, including
snow removal, and advocated for Vision Zero initiatives to reduce traffic fatalities and
improve overall street safety.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 59

frequency and accessibility for all residents. Additionally, both groups recognized the need for
environmental sustainability, calling for the installation of solar panels, water stations, and more
public restrooms as important public amenities.
5. Workforce Development and Economic Growth
Both external and internal stakeholders emphasized the need for greater investment in workforce
development and support for small businesses. There was a shared understanding that job
training programs, particularly in trades and apprenticeships, are essential for building a skilled
workforce and empowering residents to achieve economic mobility.
•External stakeholders advocated for the expansion of facade improvement programs to
revitalize local businesses and create more attractive commercial spaces. They also stressed
the importance of ESL support and computer literacy programs to help residents join the
workforce.
•Internal stakeholders focused on the need for wraparound services, such as childcare,
transportation, and expungement support, to help individuals overcome barriers to
employment.

NEEDS ASSESSMENT
The Needs Assessment of the Consolidated Plan, informed by 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. In the Needs Assessment, the
City identifies those needs with the highest priority to form the basis for the Strategic Plan and the
programs and projects to be administered.
NA-05 Overview
The purpose of the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan for Salt Lake City is to identify the most critical gaps
in community needs within the City and consider the broader regional needs of the entire Salt Lake
Valley. The Needs Assessment (NA) identifies and evaluates needs, assesses available funding
resources, and incorporates input gathered through the public participation process to guide
priorities. City officials develop goals and strategies to target priority geographic locations and
address the services needed in those areas and citywide.
Building on the previous Consolidated Plan, housing and homelessness remain major concerns
throughout the State of Utah. The global pandemic fueled sharp increases in home costs and
interest rates. During this period, 30-year conventional mortgage rates reached their highest level in
20 years, and the median home price rose from $522,000 to $550,000 in just twelve months.
Additionally, from 2021 to 2022, the average monthly mortgage payment increased from $2,921 to
$4,276. Renters were not immune from these challenges, with the average rents along the Wasatch
Front increasing at roughly double the rate of the median renter’s income.
Amidst numerous articles highlighting Utah's "housing crisis," Salt Lake City has actively
implemented initiatives to support vulnerable populations and address housing challenges. In 2023,
the city introduced the Affordable Housing Incentives (AHI) program, effective April 30, 2024, to
increase affordable housing availability by offering incentives to property owners and developers.
Additionally, the Tenant Resource Center and the Relocation Assistance Fund for Tenants were
launched in 2024 to provide personalized assistance to renters, including eviction support and
financial aid for those displaced due to various housing issues. These efforts aim to connect
residents with resources that expand opportunities for decent housing, economic development, and
vibrant communities. Despite these efforts, housing and community development needs in Salt Lake
City continue to grow, while funding to address these challenges has decreased.
As demonstrated in Figure NA-05.1, Salt Lake City’s annual CDBG award has decreased by $1.6
million, or 32%, since 2003.

The following sections summarize the key data identified in this study and the City’s strategies for
the next five years. In short, the need for homeless services and affordable housing are the most
pressing based on the public input collected and the data evaluated. 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.
The following subsections contain significant findings pertaining to homelessness, affordable
housing, demographics, behavioral health needs, economic and social service needs, and public
improvements.
Homelessness
Homelessness remains a critical issue in Utah. According to the State of Utah Homelessness Annual
Report Dashboard, 12,414 people experienced homelessness in the state between January 1, 2023,
and December 31, 2023. On average, individuals spent 66.07 nights homeless, reflecting a slight
increase from 2022.
The 2023 Salt Lake County Point-in-Time Count, an annual survey capturing a one-night snapshot of
homelessness, reported that 2,297 people were experiencing homelessness in January 2023. Among
these individuals, 73.5% were White, non-Hispanic; 11.5% were Black or African American; 5.4% were
American Indian or Alaska Native; 2.8% were Pacific Islander; and 1.4% were Asian. Additionally,
25.3% identified as Hispanic. Of the total, 435 individuals were unsheltered, emphasizing the
ongoing challenge of providing adequate emergency housing and support services for vulnerable
populations in the county.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 63
The State of Utah’s 2023 Strategic Plan on Homelessness highlighted that approximately 36% of
individuals experiencing homelessness in Utah had mental health or substance use disorders, and
nearly half had at least one disabling condition.
Stakeholders identified several critical service gaps for the homeless population during meetings.
These included the need for affordable housing, permanent supportive housing, and emergency
beds; mental health services and substance use disorder treatment; case management; prevention,
diversion, and outreach services; improved data systems to provide a fuller understanding of
homelessness; and accessible transportation options.
Affordable Housing
Between 2012 and 2022, median incomes in Salt Lake City increased by 62.6%. During the same
period, median home values rose by 92.9%, and contract rents grew by 64.7%, significantly widening
the gap between wages and housing costs.
The affordability index, calculated by dividing the median home value by the median household
income, increased from 5.3 in 2012 to 6.3 in 2022, indicating severe unaffordability since an index
above 5.1 is considered severely unaffordable.
In Salt Lake City, 45.4% of renter households and 20.1% of homeowner households are cost-
burdened, spending more than 30% of their monthly income on housing. This financial strain limits
their ability to afford essentials such as food, childcare, healthcare, transportation, and education.
Community-wide efforts to increase housing availability and reduce costs have alleviated some of
this burden by expanding affordable housing options and making homeownership more attainable.
These efforts have contributed to a decrease in the overall cost -burden rate for households in Salt
Lake City to 27%, nearly three percentage points lower than in the previous Consolidated Plan.
The Housing Authority of Salt Lake City currently administers Housing Choice vouchers for 3,025
households, with an additional 7,775 households on its waiting lists. Within Salt Lake City, 8,422
households are on the Housing Connect waiting list. Families on these waiting lists face an average
wait time of 5 to 6 years before receiving a Housing Choice voucher. Among those on the waiting list,
14.5% are elderly, 39.5% have a disability, and 83% are classified as extremely low income.
Rental and homeowner vacancy rates are alarmingly low at 5.1% and 0.5%, respectively. This scarcity
of available housing contributes to rising prices and limits accessibility.
Stakeholders have also expressed concerns about the gentrification of neighborhoods and
emphasized the need for anti-displacement strategies. Preserving the existing affordable housing
stock was identified as a critical measure to address these challenges.
Demographics
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 64
Since 2010, the demographic makeup of Salt Lake City has continued to evolve. While the White,
non-Hispanic population increased by 2.2%, minority groups experienced a more significant growth
of 12.8%. Consequently, the proportion of the White, non-Hispanic population declined from 68.9%
in 2010 to 65.2% in 2022.
Since 2018, Salt Lake City has welcomed an average of 528 refugees annually. Currently, 15.4% of the
city’s residents are foreign-born, creating a pressing need for services tailored to individuals who do
not speak English. Across the city, 24.2% of residents over the age of five speak a language other
than English as their primary language, with one-third of this group reporting limited English
proficiency.
Older adults represent a significant portion of the population, with 11.6% of residents aged 65 or
older. Many older adults live on fixed incomes and face challenges maintaining their homes, which
can lead them to consider assisted living or care facilities. Health concerns often influence these
decisions. Additionally, Salt Lake City is home to 23,320 individuals with disabilities, 34.5% of whom
are over 65, and 49.1% are over 75. Ambulatory difficulties, such as serious trouble walking or
climbing stairs, are the most common disabilities among older adults, followed by hearing and
independent living challenges.
The city’s population under 18 decreased from 20.6% in 2018 to 18% in 2022. Within this group,
children under five accounted for 31.2% in 2018, dropping to 28.8% in 2022. The child dependency
ratio also declined from 30 in 2018 to 25.5 in 2022. Despite these changes, 13.4% of children in Salt
Lake City live below the poverty level, a significant reduction from 22.5% in 2018.
Salt Lake County has seen a gradual decline in poverty rates among families experiencing
intergenerational poverty since 2012, as reported in the 2024 Utah Intergenerational Poverty Annual
Report. Improvements in early childhood development have also been noted, including increased
preschool participation and better kindergarten preparedness among children from these families.
In 2023, nearly 48.7% of students in the Salt Lake City School District qualified for free school lunch,
signifying that almost half of the district’s students belong to households earning at or below 130%
of the federal poverty level (approximately $40,56 0 annually for a family of four). These families
often face food insecurity, with an estimated one in six children in Utah lacking consistent access to
nutritious food.
Childcare remains another critical challenge. In 2020, 153,945 children under six in Utah required
childcare, but only 37,633 childcare slots were available. This left at least two children in need for
every one enrolled in a childcare program. In 2023, the National Household Education Survey
identified cost (34%) and lack of open slots (34%) as the primary barriers for families seeking
childcare.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 65
Behavioral Health
Between 2013 and 2022, Salt Lake City’s Downtown area reported the highest age -adjusted drug
death rate in Utah, with 68.5 deaths per 100,000 people —far exceeding the state average of 21.6.
The Rose Park and Glendale areas also experienced elevated rates o f 36.8 and 34.2, respectively. Of
the 15 neighborhoods in Utah with the highest age-adjusted drug death rates, four are located in
Salt Lake City.
The Utah Behavioral Health Assessment & Master Plan revealed that one in four Utah adults
experience mental illness, yet nearly half of these individuals are not receiving mental health
treatment or counseling. Similarly, 58% of children in Utah with a cli nically diagnosed mental illness
or behavioral health condition are not receiving the necessary treatment or counseling.
Mental Health America (MHA) publishes an annual report ranking states based on 15 mental health
access and prevalence measures. In 2018, Utah ranked last at 51st, reflecting a high prevalence of
mental illness and low access to care. By 2024, Utah had improved significantly, rising to 27th place.
This improvement highlights a reduction in the prevalence of mental illness and increased access to
mental health services, showcasing the state’s concerted efforts to address mental health challenges
and enhance support for its residents.
Economic Development
In Salt Lake City, 14.6% of adults aged 18 and older live below the poverty level. A recent report
highlighted that 27,497 adults experiencing intergenerational poverty are employed but still unable
to meet their families' basic needs. Increasing K-12 education funding and expanding occupational
training programs are recognized as effective strategies to reduce the likelihood of intergenerational
poverty. Programs like the Utah Department of Workforce Services’ Pathways Out of Poverty
emphasize the importance of integrated support systems—including education, affordable housing,
and healthcare—to help families achieve economic self-sufficiency.
Stakeholders have identified job training as a critical component in improving individual self-
sufficiency.
Food insecurity is another challenge affecting many households. According to the United States
Department of Agriculture, food-insecure families are those that, at times during the year, cannot
consistently acquire enough food due to insufficient financial resources. Data from Utah State
University indicates that 10% of Salt Lake County households struggle to buy adequate food, while
9.6% of children under 18 are food insecure.
Access to the internet is another area of concern. The 2022 American Community Survey (ACS) 5 -
year Estimates reported that 8,429 households in Salt Lake City —nearly 10% of the city’s total
households—lack internet access. The highest concentrations of hous eholds without internet access
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 66
are in the central and western areas of the city. Internet access has been shown to improve student
performance and increase job placement rates for unemployed individuals, highlighting its
importance as a resource for education and employment opportunities.

The Salt Lake City Redevelopment Agency (RDA) has established 13 project areas, 10 of which are
actively collecting tax increment revenue. These project areas were created to address various
objectives, including eliminating blight, developing affordable housing, fostering economic
development opportunities, and implementing public works improvements. Geographically, the
project areas encompass a substantial portion of the city’s lowest -income neighborhoods.
In 2023, these project areas collectively generated $53 million in tax increment revenue. This
significant financial resource provides the city with the potential to leverage HUD funding alongside
tax increment revenue to support future development initiatives and enhance community impact.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 67
Public Improvements
n May 2018, the Salt Lake City Council approved a 0.5% increase in the city’s portion of the sales tax
under the Funding Our Future initiative. This measure generates approximately $34 million annually,
allocated to critical areas such as streets, safety, housing, and transit. In 2022, parks maintenance
was added as a fifth priority area. Additionally, starting January 1, 2025, Salt L ake City will implement
a 0.5% Capital City Revitalization Tax to support various public improvement projects, further
enhancing infrastructure and services for residents. These initiatives reflect the city’s ongoing
commitment to improving public infrastructure and community well -being.
In 2018, Salt Lake City voters approved an $87 million General Obligation (GO) Bond to address
essential street reconstruction needs. Leveraging the city’s AAA bond rating to minimize costs, the
bond has funded numerous projects targeting the most deteriorated roadways based on pavement
condition assessments. Completed projects include the reconstruction of 500 East, 100 South, and
900 East by 2021, followed by 200 South, 300 West, and 900 South in 2022. In 2023, sections of 1100
East and West Temple were reconstructed. Upcoming projects for 2025 include the reconstruction of
100 South between University Street and North Campus Drive and the 600/700 North corridor. For
2026, plans include 700 North from 2200 West to Redwood Road, 900 West from 600 North to N orth
Temple, and 1100 West from Hayes Avenue to American Avenue. To promote transparency and
accountability, the city provides residents with access to a publicly available Funding Our Future
Dashboard.
The annual household transportation cost in Salt Lake City is estimated at $13,086, representing
about 17% of household income. Studies suggest that increased reliance on public transit can
significantly lower household expenses related to vehicle ownership, fuel, and maintenance while
reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Since 2020, Salt Lake City has made notable progress in enhancing public transit infrastructure. In
collaboration with the Utah Transit Authority (UTA), the city has expanded bus routes and improved
service frequency along high-demand corridors. Sustainability and accessibility have been prioritized
through upgrades to the TRAX light rail system and the introduction of electric buses to the fleet.
Additionally, the development of transit-friendly corridors, such as 200 South and 900 South, has
focused on integrating multi-modal transportation options.
Looking ahead, Salt Lake City plans further public transit improvements beginning in 2025. Key
initiatives include reconstructing major transit hubs, such as 100 South, to better accommodate
buses and light rail connections, and enhancing the 600/700 North corridor to improve accessibility
for pedestrians and cyclists while supporting transit services.

NA-10 Needs Assessment – Housing Needs Assessment | 24 CFR
91.205(a, b, c)
Summary of Housing Needs
Nationwide, the median home price has increased by 38% since 2018 and the median rent has
increased by 24%. In comparison, median home prices in Salt Lake City increased by 59% and the
median rent increased by 34%. As a result, the need for affordable housing in Salt Lake City is
significant. In addition to inflation and higher building costs, the rising mortgage rates have made
housing affordability more of a challenge. A vacancy rate of 5.1% in rentals further exacerbates
this problem, which is especially pronounced for households making 50% or less than the Area
Median Income (AMI).
The following points summarize the current housing needs and conditions in Salt Lake City:
•Between 2012 and 2022, the cost of housing significantly increased for both renters and
homeowners, particularly since 2021. Incomes for both renters and homeowners have
increased, but incomes for homeowners have increased at lower rates, as shown in Figure
NA-10.1.
•In 2022, the median home price in Salt Lake City was $458,600 and the median rent
was $1,254.
•According to U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year Estimates
between 2012 and 2022, the median contract rent increased by 64.7%, while renter
incomes increased by 76.3%. In 2022, for renter-occupied units in Salt Lake City, the
median monthly household income was $4,309.17 and the median monthly housing
costs were $1,254.00, or 29.1% of monthly household income.
•Median home values increased by 92.9%, but median homeowner income only
increased by 54.8%. In 2022, the median household income for owner-occupied units
was $105,387.

•The Affordability index is a measure of the median home value divided by the median
household income. Figure NA-10.2 shows the affordability index for Salt Lake City from 2012
to 2022, and the ratios of 3.0 and 5.1 which represent housing that is very affordable and
severely unaffordable, respectively. The affordability index increased from 5.3 in 2012 to 6.3
in 2022.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 70
FIGURE NA-10.2 | AFFORDABILITY INDEX
Source: U.S. Census Bureau ACS 5-Year Estimates, Multiple Years
•The rate of home ownership decreased slightly from 48.4% in 2018 to 47.0% in 2022. In 2018,
rental units comprised 51.6% of occupied housing units. In 2022, that percentage increased
to 53.0%. The increasing number of rental units (an additional 4,943 rental units compared
to 2,263 owner-occupied units) could partially account for the decreasing rates of
homeownership. With the rate of homeownership decreasing from 48.4% in 2018 to 47.0%
in 2022, and rental units increasing from 51.6% to 53.0%, a report from the Joint Center for
Housing Studies at Harvard University highlights that residents may be hesitant or unable to
purchase homes and are opting to rent despite increasing rental costs.
•The percentage of households classified as cost burdened increased by nearly 6 percentage
points from 2018 to 2022. A household is considered cost burdened if they spend 30% or
more of their annual income on housing costs. In 2018, 39.5% of renter occupied households
were considered cost burdened and in 2022, 45.4% of renter occupied households were cost
burdened. This translates to 20,561 Salt Lake City renter occupied households that are cost
burdened. In 2022, approximately 8,100 homeowners were also cos t burdened and
had difficulty meeting their mortgage obligations, up from 7,100 homeowners in 2018.
•Section MA.15 of this plan shows a gap of 5,250 affordable rental units and a low supply of
owner-occupied units at lower price points. Due to this shortage of affordable units to
extremely low-income households (<30% AMI) and very low -income households (<50% AMI),
many residents are compelled to live in substandard, unhealthy, or overcrowded conditions.
This housing instability threatens the economic well-being of at least 40,000 extremely low-
income renter households in Utah. In some cases, the lack of affordable housing leads to
homelessness.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 71
•Since 2018, Salt Lake City has experienced a net increase of 5,568 residents and 7,206
households. In 2018, the average household size for Salt Lake City was 2.43 and by 2022 it
was 2.26.

Since 2010, the median income in Salt Lake City has grown by nearly 64%. During the same period,
Salt Lake City saw slight increases in population. As illustrated by Figure NA-10.3, the White, non-
Hispanic population saw a proportional decrease from 67.4% to 65.2% between 2010 and 2022.
Meanwhile, the minority portion of the population increased from 32.6% to 34.8%.

As shown in Figure NA-10.4, approximately 40.6% of the City’s population falls in the 20-39 age
range. This concentration of young adults differs from the demographic makeup of Salt Lake County
as a whole, where this age group represents only 31.3% of the total County population. T his is due in
part to the presence of university students and young professionals in Salt Lake City. Figure NA-10.5
shows a more even population distribution across age ranges within Salt Lake County.

Housing Needs Summary
Table NA-10.3 shows the number of households with housing problems by tenure and HAMFI. HUD
defines substandard housing as “a dwelling unit that is either dilapidated or unsafe, thus
endangering the health and safety of the occupant, or that does not have adequate plum bing or
heating facilities.” The City considers standard housing to be housing that meets HUD’s Housing
Quality Standards. Units that are currently substandard may be eligible for rehabilitation. The City
considers housing in “substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation” as a housing unit that
currently does not meet HUD quality standards but is structurally sound and can be brought up to
code for less than replacement cost.
The largest reported issue within Salt Lake City, for both renter -occupied and owner-occupied
housing, is households experiencing cost burden. Households experience cost burden when 30% or
more of the household income is spent on housing related costs. The second greatest issue is
overcrowding within housing units.

Households that are renting experience issues at a greater level than those that own their home,
with 46.8% of total renter households in the City experiencing one or more HUD defined housing
problems while only 15.9% of owner-occupied households experience one or more HUD defined
housing problems.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 76
Table NA-10.5 shows that 22,040 households earn less than 80% of HAMFI and are cost-burdened,
paying 30% or more of their income towards housing costs. This is a decrease of 285 cost -burdened
households from the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. Of the 22,040 households, 16,545 are renter
households and 5,495 are homeowners; therefore, over 75% of households with greater than a 30%
cost-burden are renters.

shows slight decreases in cost-burdened, renter-occupied households at both the 0-30% HAMFI and
30-50% HAMFI levels, but an increase in cost-burdened households at the 50-80% HAMFI level. The
number of owner-occupied households experiencing cost burden de creased across every income
category from 2016 to 2020.

Figures NA-10.8 and NA-10.9 illustrate how the current number of severely cost-burdened
households compares to what was reported in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. The number of
severely cost-burdened, renter-occupied households at or below 30% of HAMFI decreased between
2016 and 2020, while the number of severely cost-burdened, renter-occupied households between
30% and 80% of HAMFI increased.

Table NA-10.8 shows the number of households with one or more children under the age of
6 present in the home. Households with children tend to incur higher expenses for basic goods and
services due to added needs such as childcare, larger housing, and increased food c onsumption.
According to the White House Council of Economic Advisers, families with young children often
allocate a substantial portion of their income to these areas, with childcare alone frequently
consuming over 10% of household income. Moreover, research by the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services highlights that many families exceed this threshold, particularly in regions with
higher living costs, further emphasizing the economic challenges faced by households with children.

Describe the Number and Type of Single-person Households in Need of Housing Assistance.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau 2018-2022 ACS 5-Year Estimates, the number of single-person
households in Salt Lake City has risen since 2018 from 27,838 (35.6% of households in Salt Lake City)
to 33,153 in 2022 (38.8% of the total households). In 2022, 11,539 heads of household were between
15 and 34 and made up a considerable proportion of the City’s young professional and student
population.
Table NA-10.9 lists median household incomes by household type.

The median household incomes of both male and female single-person households are drastically
lower than the overall City median household income of $76,721. 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.
Estimate the Number and Type of Families in Need of Housing
Assistance for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence,
Sexual Assault and Stalking and/or Persons with Disabilities
Domestic Violence
In Utah, one in three women will face sexual violence, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate
partner at some point in their lives. Over a four-year period, 2019-2022, Salt Lake County had more
DV cases than any other county in Utah, ranging from 5,270 to 7,134 cases.
South Valley Services and the Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA) support domestic violence
victims in Salt Lake City by offering emergency shelter, rapid rehousing, and transitional housing
programs. Together, these two organizations operate four shelters with a total capacity of 442 beds
within Salt Lake County. According to the 2023 Domestic Violence Counts Report, there were 159
unmet requests for services in Utah, with approximately 38% of these for emergency shelter, hotels,
motels, transitional housing, and other housing. This contrast underscores the urgent need for
additional resources and support to meet the housing and service needs of domestic violence victims.
Recognizing these challenges, Salt Lake City is committed to understanding and addressing the needs
of domestic violence victims.
The YWCA – Women in Jeopardy Shelter is Salt Lake City’s primary resource for survivors of domestic
violence seeking emergency shelter services. Emergency and extended shelter facilities are available
twenty-four hours a day in a 166-bed facility for women and children fleeing unsafe situations. In
addition, the Salt Lake City Housing Authority collaborates with the YWCA Kathleen Robison Huntsman
Apartments, providing transitional housing for up to 156 women and dependent children for up to 2
years.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 87
The YWCA Salt Lake Area Family Justice Center offers free and confidential services to survivors of
domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and elder abuse, connecting them with essential co-located
and community partners. Additionally, 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, and educates the community about the cause, impact, and prevention of
sexual violence.
Within Salt Lake County, South Valley Services (SVS) Emergency Shelter, known as the Sanctuary, offers
56 beds and 13 rooms, where each survivor and their family members are provided with a private
bedroom and bathroom, along with communal areas such as living rooms, laundry rooms, kitchens,
and playgrounds. During the 2022-2023 program year, SVS sheltered over 443 clients for 14,160 bed
nights within Salt Lake County.
SVS also operates the Children’s Learning Center, a 24-hour-a-day center that provides more than
childcare, allowing children to receive therapy, critical advocacy, and weekly support groups, just as
their parents do, to heal. The center provided 2,400 hours of service to 233 children during the 2022 -
2023 program year. Additionally, SVS provided 1,557 hours of therapy to 450 clients, helping both
parents and children heal from domestic violence. Finally, SVS operates a Community Resource
Center, providing necessary services like case management and victim advocacy, available to survivors
who do not need emergency shelter. The Community Resource Center provided 1,848 hours of case
management to 705 clients and taught over 204 events, reaching 5,305 people during the 2022-2023
program year.
Persons with Disabilities
The 2018-2022 American Community Survey, 5-Year Estimates indicates that 23,320 residents, or
11.6% of the City’s population, are living with a disability. The City’s elderly population is most affected
by disability with 25.6% of residents over the age of 65 experiencing at least one disability. The data
also show that 49.1% of residents who are 75 years old and older are experiencing at least on e
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.”
Salt Lake City collaboratives with partners that provide services for persons with disabilities, including,
but are not limited to, Alliance House, Disability Law Center, Aging Services, ASSIST, and others.
What are the most common housing problems?
HUD has defined housing problems and severe housing problems as follows:
•Housing Problems
•Household lacks complete kitchen facilities;
•Household lacks complete plumbing facilities;
•Household is overcrowded, with more than one person per room; or
•Household is cost-burdened by paying 30% or more of monthly income on housing
costs.
•Severe Housing Problems
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 88
•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; or
•Household is severely cost-burdened by paying 50% or more of monthly income on housing
costs.
As reported in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, the most common housing problem in Salt Lake City
is still cost-burden, which is most prevalent among low-income renters.
According to the 2018-2022 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, 47% of renters are cost-
burdened, which is an increase from the 45% of renters reported in the 2014 -2018 ACS 5-Year
Estimate. Among homeowners, 20.7% of owners with a mortgage and 15.5% of owners without a
mortgage were cost-burdened.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau 2018-2022 ACS 5-Year Estimates
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 89
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). As a result of spending 30% or more of their monthly income,
households within this income range have limited resources for othe r essentials, including food,
healthcare, childcare, and transportation. Housing problems also impact households in the 50 to
80% AMI income group, elderly households, and single -parent households, according to the 2016-
2020 HUD CHAS data.
Many Utah residents face added concerns over rising healthcare costs. A 2023 survey of 1,300 Utah
adults found that 69% faced at least one healthcare affordability burden in the past year and 86%
worry about affording healthcare in the future. Additionally, between 2011 and 2021, Utah workers
experienced an almost eight percentage point increase in their contributions to their overall
insurance premium. When families spend a significant portion of their income on housing, they have
less available for other essentials, which can lead to difficult trade-offs. Additionally, high housing
costs can consume household incomes, leaving limited funds for savings, education, and other
necessities.
Describe the characteristics and needs of low-income individuals and families with children
(especially extremely low-income) who are currently housed but threatened with
homelessness. Also discuss the needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are
receiving rapid re-housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance.
Households at the highest risk of homelessness are specifically households between at 0 -30%
HAMFI or households that currently reside in overcrowded housing. According to 2016-2020 CHAS
data, 14,195 households are between 0-30% HAMFI and 2,540 households experience either
overcrowding or severe overcrowding.
Families exiting homelessness represent a critical population in Salt Lake County. As shown in Figure
NA 10-14, while adult-only households account for the largest group experiencing homelessness
during the 2023 Point-In-Time Count (1,739 individuals, both sheltered and unsheltered), a
substantial number of households with children also face homelessness. This inc ludes 558
individuals in households with children (of which 6 are in child-only households).
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 90
FIGURE NA-10.14 | HOMELESSNESS BY CATEGORY
Source: 2023 Salt Lake County Point-in-Time
A total of 162 households are experiencing homelessness in Salt Lake County, with 50 of those
households currently in transitional shelter, a decrease of 8% from 2018. The number of
unaccompanied children experiencing homelessness tripled, from two to six, over the same period.
Support services for those experiencing homelessness, or transitioning out of homelessness, are
cited as important homeless service investments, according to Utah’s Plan to Address
Homelessness. The stakeholder meetings conducted 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 a lack of sufficient support for counseling, job training and
guidance, and assistance with behavioral health issues. This Plan recognizes a critical need in this
area and proposes strategies to strengthen support for vulnerable populations at critical junctures in
their lifetimes.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 91
If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at-risk population(s), it should also include
a description of the Operational Definition of the at-risk group and the methodology
used to generate the estimates.
HUD has established three categories for an individual or family to be considered at risk of
homelessness.
Category 1: At Risk of Homelessness is defined as an individual or family who:
1.Has an annual income below 30% of Median Family Income (MFI) for the area, as determined
by HUD;
2.Does not have sufficient resources or support networks, (e.g., family, friends, faith-based or
other social networks), immediately available to prevent them from moving to an emergency
shelter or another place described in paragraph (1) of the “homeless” definition in this
section; and
3.Meets one of the following conditions:
1.Has moved because of economic reasons two or more times during the 60
days immediately preceding the application for homelessness prevention
assistance;
2.Is living in the home of another because of economic hardship;
3.Has been notified in writing that their right to occupy their current housing or
living situation will be terminated within 21 days after the date of application
for assistance;
4.Lives in a hotel or motel and the cost of the hotel or motel stay is not paid by
charitable organizations or by Federal, State, or local government programs
for low-income individuals;
5.Lives in a single-room occupancy 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 1.5 persons reside per room, as defined by the U.S. Census
Bureau;
6.Is exiting a publicly funded institution, or system of care (such as a health-
care facility, a mental health facility, foster care or other youth facility, or
correction program or institution); or
7.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.
Category 2: At Risk of Homelessness is defined as:
“A child or youth who does not qualify as “homeless” under this section, but qualifies as “homeless”
under Section 387(3) of the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (42 U.S.C. 5732a(3)), Section 637(11) of
the Head Start Act (42 U.S.C. 9832(11)), Section 41403(6) of the Violence Against Women Act of 1994
(42 U.S.C. 14043e– 2(6)), Section 330(h)(5)(A) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 254b(h)(5)(A)),
Section 3(m) of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (7 U.S.C. 2012(m)), or Section 17(b)(15) of the Child
Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1786(b)(15)).”
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 92
Category 3: At Risk of Homelessness is defined as:
A child or youth who does not qualify as “homeless” under this section, but qualifies as “homeless”
under Section 725(2) of the McKinney- Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11434a(2)), and the
parent(s) or guardian(s) of that child or youth if living with her or him.
Estimates are calculated using the HAMFI and housing problems data provided through HUD’s 2016-
2020 dataset, in addition to 2023 Point-in-Time Counts, and U.S. Census Bureau 2018-2022 ACS 5-
Year Estimate data.
Specify Particular Housing Characteristics That Have Been Linked with Instability and
an Increased Risk of Homelessness
Research from the Pew Trusts indicates a positive correlation between housing costs and
homelessness. With increasing housing costs in the City, particularly among households that are
cost-burdened, the City may see an increasing risk of homelessness.
Discussion
Based on HUD 2016-2020 CHAS data, the most prevalent housing problem in Salt Lake City is
households experiencing cost-burden – especially for those who make less than 50% of HAMFI. Since
2018, the City has seen a shift to smaller housing units (i.e., fewe r bedrooms). This may be due in
part to the prevalence of single-person households, the large percent of the population between the
ages of 20-39, and smaller household sizes. As shown in Figure NA-10.15, the proportion of housing
units with one or two rooms increased by 2.9 percentage points from 2018 to 2022.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 93
FIGURE NA-10.15 | HOUSING UNITS BY NUMBER OF ROOMS
Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2014-2018 ACS 5-Year Estimates, 2018-2022 ACS 5-Year Estimates
Despite this shift, there is still a need for all housing types in the City, both for renters and
homeowners.
Overcrowding may also be exacerbated by the shift towards smaller housing units. For example,
smaller rental units (0-2 bedrooms) have a median rent of $1,235 compared to $1,867 for rental
units with three or more bedrooms. Larger families may have little choice other than to occupy
smaller units.
The City has opportunities to preserve or create affordable housing stock by rehabilitating older or
substandard units. As shown in Section MA-20, over 41,190 housing units, or 50.4% of all units (both
renter- and owner-occupied), were built prior to 1960 and may be candidates for rehabilitation.
Additionally, 51 vacant or secure buildings could also be prime targets for rehabilitation efforts.
Cost-burdens may lead to cost constraints in other essential areas – most critically food and
healthcare, as less disposable income is available for spending in other areas.
Through the efforts of the Housing Stability Division, the City’s Redevelopment Agency, and
community partners, the city aims 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. The goal of these efforts is to reduce the
incidence of overcrowding and cost burden.

NA-15 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems | 24
CFR 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.
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, paying 30% or more of monthly income on housing 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.
The following tables present the breakdown of housing problems by race, along with comparisons
between the most recent data, and the prior Consolidated Plan data. Data for four separate income
categories are presented:
•0 to 30% of HAMFI
•30 to 50% of HAMFI
•50 to 80% of HAMFI
•80 to 100% of HAMFI

The number of households in the 50 to 80% of HAMFI income category that are experiencing one or
more housing problems has increased, but the percentage of households has decreased because
the number of households in this income category has proportionally increased.

Discussion
The 2016-2020 CHAS data shown in Tables NA-15.1 to NA-15.8 contain a total sample size of 47,104
households. Of that sample, 23,390 households, or 51.8%, reported having one or more housing
problems. This is an overall decrease of 2.7 percentage points from the 2020 -2024 Consolidated
Plan.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 100
To align with enhanced disclosure avoidance protections enforced by the Census Bureau, HUD
combined “households having no/negative income” with “households having none of the four
housing problems.” For this reason, this report cannot separate out the households reported to
have no/negative income by ethnicity.
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 may be small, thereby producing
unreliable results.
•0-30% HAMFI: This income category consists of 13,759 households, comprising 29.2% of the
total households. 77% of these households reported one or more housing problems,
representing 43.4% of all households with one or more housing problems. Within this
category, Hispanics show the highest disproportionate need with 82% of households
reporting one or more housing problems.
•30-50% HAMFI: This income category consists of 10,370 households, comprising 22% of the
total households. 72% of these households reported one or more housing problems,
representing 30.8% of all households with one or more housing problems. Within this
category, Pacific Islanders show the highest disproportionate need with 95% of households
reporting one or more housing problems. American Indian or Alaska Natives also
experience a disproportionately higher need with 90% of households experiencing a
housing problem.
•50-80% HAMFI: This income category consists of 14,055 households, comprising 29.8% of
the total households. 36% of these households reported one or more housing problems,
representing 20.9% of all households with one or more housing problems. Within this
category, White households show the highest disproportionate need with 38% of households
reporting one or more housing problems. Hispanics and African Americans also
experience disproportionately higher needs with 35 and 34% of households
experiencing a housing problem, respectively.
•80-100% HAMFI: This income category consists of 8,920 households, comprising 18.9% of
the total households. 13% of these households reported one or more housing problems,
representing 4.9% of all households with one or more housing problems. Within this
category, Pacific Islanders show the highest disproportionate need with 32% of households
reporting one or more housing problems.

NA-20 Disproportionately Greater Need: Severe Housing Problems
| 24 CFR 91.205 (b)(2)
Introduction
This section provides an assessment of severe housing problems by race and ethnicity as compared
to the level of need as a whole. HUD defines severe housing problems as a household that lacks
complete kitchen facilities, lacks 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
The following tables present the breakdown of housing problems by race, along with comparisons
between the most recent data, and the prior Consolidated Plan data. Data for four separate income
categories are presented:
•0 to 30% of HAMFI
•30 to 50% of HAMFI
•50 to 80% of HAMFI
•80 to 100% of HAMF

NA-25 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Cost Burdens |24
CFR 91.205 (b)(2)
Introduction
This section assesses housing cost burdens by race and ethnicity, comparing the level of need across
different groups.
HUD defines “disproportionately greater need” as occurring when the percentage of persons with a
particular need in a specific racial or ethnic group exceeds that of the total population by at least 10
percentage points.
Table NA-25.1 shows the number of cost-burdened households by race and ethnicity. The data are
broken down by no cost-burden (less than 30%), cost-burden (30-50%), severe cost-burden (50% or
more), and no/negative income

Discussion
As in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, cost burden remains the most prevalent housing issue in Salt
Lake City. In the 81,678-household sample, 30.4% of all households are cost-burdened (spending
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 109
30% or more of monthly income on housing). While this represents a decline from the prior plan,
African American households (46.0%) and Hispanic households (39.8%) remain the most affected.
The CHAS data further show that 38.4% of households categorized as Other, non-Hispanic are cost-
burdened. A significant disparity exists between renter-occupied and owner-occupied households:
41.4% of renter-occupied households are cost-burdened, compared to just 18.7% of owner-occupied
households.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 110
NA-30 Disproportionately Greater Need: Discussion |24 CFR 91.205
(b)(2)
Are There Any Income Categories in Which a Racial or Ethnic Group Has
Disproportionately Greater Need Than the Needs of That Income Category as a
Whole?
According to 2016-2020 CHAS data, the following racial and ethnic groups experience
disproportionately greater housing needs:
•Black or African Americans
•American Indians or Alaska Natives
•Pacific Islanders
•Hispanics
Salt Lake City has assessed disproportionate needs across racial, ethnic, and household
compositions. Generally, low-income households—disproportionately composed of racial and ethnic
minorities—face greater housing needs. Figure NA-30.1 demonstrates the variation in per capita
income across racial and ethnic groups in Salt Lake City.
FIGURE NA-30.1 | PER CAPITA INCOME BY RACE AND ETHNICITY
Source: US Census Bureau ACS 5 – Year Estimates 2018 - 2022
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 111
Racial and ethnic minority groups with disproportionately greater housing needs also tend to have
lower per capita incomes compared to other groups
Census data indicate that 12.6% of Salt Lake City’s White, non-Hispanic population lives below the
poverty line, compared to 15.5% of Hispanics, 17.5% of American Indians and Alaska Natives, and
28.9% of Black or African Americans. The median age of the City’s White, non-Hispanic population is
33.9 while the median age of the Hispanic population is 28.3.
If They Have Any Needs Not Identified Above, What Are Those Needs?
The City has opportunities to address housing challenges, especially for minority populations in
concentrated poverty areas. Minorities face housing impediments on several fronts, including
limited housing stock for large families, an elevated risk of unfair lending practices, and an elevated
risk for housing discrimination. Gaps in access to housing and economic opportunities are likely
to widen as the City’s demographics continue to shift. Therefore, Salt Lake City is taking a
comprehensive approach to improve housing opportunities and is in the process of developing and
implementing a multifaceted strategy to address these needs.
The City is collaborating with Salt Lake County, local municipalities, and community partners to
define and address regional issues and priorities. The City aims to expand neighborhood capacity
for proactive redevelopment through outreach, partnership-building, workforce training, early
childhood education, and other initiatives. These 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.
Are Any of Those Racial or Ethnic Groups Located in Specific Areas or Neighborhoods
in Your Community?
Figure 30.2 shows that a substantial portion of the City’s minority population resides west of
Interstate 15, where many block groups have a minority share of 50% or higher.

FIGURE NA-30.2 | PERCENT OF BLOCK GROUP POPULATION THAT IS MINORITY
Source: US Census Bureau ACS 5 – Year Estimates 2017 - 2021
The City’s overall population growth between 1990 and 2020 can be attributed to the increasing
minority share of the population, from 17.4% in 1990 to 29.4% in 2000 to 33.3% in 2010 before
decreasing slightly in 2020 to 32.3%. The rate of growth in the minority population has accelerated
recently, increasing by 3.0% from 2020 to 2022, reaching 35.4%. Hispanics/Latinos represent the
largest minority group in the City, increasing in share from 9.7% in 1990 to 20.7% in 2010 and 23.7%
in 2022.
Figure NA-30.2 as well as Figure NA-10.10 and Figure NA-10.11 demonstrate significant differences
in socioeconomic status for those living on the west side of Salt Lake City. Minority households are
more concentrated west of I-15 and both owner-occupied and renter-occupied households
experiencing cost burden are more concentrated in that area.

NA-35 Public Housing |24 CFR 91.205 (b)
Introduction
Salt Lake City’s public housing is managed by three authorities: the Housing Authority of Salt Lake
City (HASLC), Housing Connect, and the West Valley City Housing Authority. These organizations
oversee public housing, develop affordable units, and administer Housing Choice Voucher programs.
Each of these entities 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.
Beyond developing and rehabilitating housing units, these authorities manage properties focused
on providing safe, affordable, and discrimination-free living environments that enhance community
value.
The City’s Housing Choice Voucher Program provides rental assistance to low -income families (50%
of area median income and below). Housing Choice Voucher programs provide rental subsidies to
approximately 5,000 low-income families, individuals with disabilities, elderly residents, and
chronically homeless clients within Salt Lake City. Additional programs include Moderate
Rehabilitation, New Construction, Project-Based Vouchers, Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing,
Housing Opportunities for Persons with HIV/AIDS, and Shelter Plus Care Vouchers.
As detailed in Table NA-35.1 and Table NA-35.2, Housing Choice programs provided rental subsidies
to a wide range of qualified program participants.

Although Black/African American residents make up 2.6% of the population, they account for 14.1%
of the residents utilizing housing vouchers. American Indian/Alaska Native residents also
demonstrate a disproportionate share of housing voucher recipients. This group represents 0.6% of
the population yet utilizes 2.7% of the housing vouchers.

administrative actions, motivations, procedures, or adoption of policies to comply.
•Placing notices of compliance in the legal section of local newspapers.
•Maintaining a general mailing list of organizations concerned with and aiding people with
disabilities.
•Aiding people with disabilities in filling out 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 coordinate and deal with 504
issues.
•Adopting grievance procedures by their Board of Commissioners.

Based on the Information Above and any Other Information Available to the
Jurisdiction, What are the Most Immediate Needs of Residents of Public Housing and
Housing Choice Voucher Holders?
Residents’ most pressing needs include affordable housing near public transportation, education,
healthcare, and employment services. Waiting lists are exceptionally long, with access to the housing
authorities’ resources limited.
How do These Needs Compare to the Housing Needs of the Population at Large?
Salt Lake City is facing an increasing demand for housing evidenced by overall low vacancy rates
throughout the City and a growing population. In recent years, the City has seen the development of
large numbers of multi-family residential units compared to the number of single-family residential
units, as shown in Figure NA-35.1.

FIGURE NA-35.1 | ANNUAL RESIDENTIAL UNITS PERMITTED
Source: Ivory-Boyer Construction Database, Salt Lake City Residential Building Permits by Unit, 2019 – 2024
Since 2019, about 17,000 residential units have been permitted, with 79.5% classified as multi-family
housing. While total housing stock has increased, there remains a growing need for additional units,
especially affordable units across the City. The scarcity of vacant land, especially on Salt Lake City’s
east side, limits residential development opportunities. Land scarcity and increased development
costs exacerbate the rising costs of residential housing and lead to fewer affordable units being
constructed.
Discussion
Salt Lake City acknowledges the significant demand for public housing, particularly among elderly
and disabled residents. The City intends to continue partnering with the three housing authorities,
and various internal departments, to leverage opportunities to address th e increasing need for
affordable housing.

NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment |24 CFR 91.205 (c)
Introduction
Salt Lake City representatives participate in the local Continuum of Care (COC) executive board and
prioritization committee to ensure COC priorities are integrated into Emergency Solutions Grant
(ESG) allocations. Also, the three local ESG funders meet regularly to coordinate ESG and COC
activities to ensure services are not being over or under funded and the services being funded meet
the community’s needs and goals.
The COC collaborates with the State of Utah to administer the Homeless Management Information
System (HMIS). All service agencies in the region and the rest of the State are under a uniform data
standard for U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) reporting and local ESG
funders. All ESG funded organizations participate in HMIS. HMIS is supported by Client Track.
The COC conducts an annual point in time count at the end of January to count sheltered
(emergency shelter and transitional housing) and unsheltered homeless individuals. Canvassing
volunteers count unsheltered homeless individuals. The volunteers use VI-SPDAT to interview and
try to connect unsheltered homeless individuals with services.
A number of critical reports define not only the issues facing the homeless but solutions to these
issues. The most recent report is Utah’s Plan to Address Homelessness12. The five goals of this Plan are
to:
1.Increase accessible and affordable permanent housing opportunities for people
experiencing homelessness across the state
2.Increase access to and availability of supportive services and case management for people
experiencing and at risk of homelessness
3.Expand homeless prevention efforts by increasing coordination, resources, and affordable
housing opportunities
4.Target housing resources and supportive services to people experiencing unsheltered
homelessness
5.Promote alignment and coordination across multiple systems of care to support people
experiencing and at risk of homelessness
The study also identified service gaps in these critical areas:
•Affordable housing, permanent supportive housing, and emergency beds
•Mental health services and substance abuse disorder treatment
•Case management
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 120
•Prevention, diversion, and outreach services
•Data systems that capture more of the full story
As of January 2024, Utah had an estimated 3,869 people experiencing homelessness on any given
day, as reported by Continuums of Care to the HUD. Of these:
•297 were family households;
•121 were Veterans;
•240 were unaccompanied young adults (aged 18-24); and
•906 were individuals experiencing chronic homelessness.
Public school data reported to the U.S. Department of Education during the 2022-2023 school year
shows an estimated 13,049 public school students experienced homelessness over the course of the
year. Of these students:
•750 were unsheltered;
•813 were in shelters;
•656 were in hotels/motels; and
•10,830 were doubled up (living with another family).
According to the 2024 Point-In-Time Count13, Salt Lake County has 2,404 homeless individuals,
representing over 62% of homelessness in the State. 413 of these individuals are unsheltered.
•0.07% of Utah’s population is homeless
•24.5% of our homeless people live in family groups of parents and children
•Youth between the ages of 18 and 24 comprise 6% of our homeless population
•Domestic violence impacts 18.5% of our homeless population
•23.4% of the homeless population in Utah is experiencing “chronic” homelessness
Table NA-40.1 shows data collected from the 2023 Point-in-Time Count, with a total of 2,297
homeless individuals. Most of these individuals are in households without children, although 24.3%
of the total homeless population were in households with children or were child ren alone.

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 162 families (552 individuals) and 131 veterans experiencing homelessness,
with two known veteran families with children, according to the 2023 Point-in-Time Count. The
primary tool to help these families is rapid re-housing to reduce the time families experience
homelessness as much 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 Ethnic and Racial Group.
Most individuals experiencing homelessness are White, non-Hispanic (1,689). The second
largest group is Hispanic (582), followed by African American (264) and American
Indian/Alaska Native (125). These amounts are representative of the total population of Salt
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 126
Lake City where White, non-Hispanic accounts for 65.2%, Hispanic 19.9%, African American
2.6 % and American Indian 0.60%.
Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness
Salt Lake City has 1,862 sheltered and 435 unsheltered homeless individuals. The number of
unsheltered homeless individuals has increased by 125%, while the number of sheltered homeless
individuals has only increased by 13%. Salt Lake City's homeless servi ces community has effectively
sheltered many individuals. However, additional efforts are needed to transition individuals from
emergency shelters and transitional housing into stable, permanent housing. Based on the
significant increase in unsheltered homeless individuals, increased efforts should be made to ensure
these individuals are able to access shelters and necessary services.

This section analyzes the needs of non-homeless special populations including 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 datin g/domestic violence,
single-parent households, large family households, and immigrants.
Describe the characteristics of the special needs population in your community.
Elderly
Salt Lake City continues to be home to a younger populace compared to the rest of the
United States. The Census Bureau’s “Old-Age Dependency Ratio” measures the number of
people aged 65 and older to 100 working age individuals. In this case, working age is
defined as anyone between the ages of 20 and 64. Table NA-45.1 compares the City’s ratio
to those of the county, state, and nation. For every 100 working age residents,
approximately 17 residents are aged 65 and older. This is lower than any of the
comparative areas.

Although there was a slight decrease in the elderly population between the 2020 Census and the
2018-2022 ACS 5-Year Estimates, data from the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute project that the
elderly population will increase through 2050. As shown in Table NA-45.2, the elderly population
will account for 14% of Salt Lake County’s population by 2030 and in 2050, one in five residents will
be considered elderly. This expected increase will impact housing demand as this population moves
towards age-restricted housing, care facilities, or smaller homes. There may also be a need for
different styles of homes, with better access for those with disabilities. With a growing elderly
population, the City anticipates an increased need for healthcare and other supportive services.

Persons with Disabilities
Estimates from the 2018-2022 American Community Survey indicate that 11.6% of the City’s
population is living with a disability, which amounts to 23,320 citizens. The City’s elderly population
(65+) is most affected by disability, with 34.5% experiencing a t least one disability. The data also
show that 49.1% of City residents who are 75 years of age or 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.” 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.

difficulty, which affects 5.5% of people in this age group. The next most common disabilities are
independent living difficulty affecting 3.2% and ambulatory difficulty affecting 3.1% of this
population. Figure NA-45.3 shows the complete list of disabilities and percentages.

Female-Headed Households with Children
Salt Lake City has 6,113 households headed by single females. Of that group, 3,229 households have
children under the age of 18 present in the home. These households frequently face many unique
challenges. According to the 2018-2022 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, Salt Lake
City’s family poverty rate is 5.9%, while the single-mother household poverty rate is 40.7%.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 131
Due to societal stigma, heavy financial burden, and limited available resources, single female -
headed households with children can lack the resources necessary to find adequate childcare,
employment, or job training services. This can impact a mother’s abi lity to provide stable housing,
acquire greater career mobility, and care for her children. The rising cost of childcare further
diminishes single mothers’ paychecks. Research conducted by the Utah Department of Workforce
Services and University of Utah Department of Economics found that, on average, Salt Lake City
families pay $827 per month per child at childcare centers. For one child, this totals $9,924, or 26.6%
of the median household income for a female householder, living alone.
153,945 children in Utah under the age of 6 needed childcare in 2020, while childcare programs
reported only 37,633 available slots that year. At least two children were in need of childcare for
every child currently in a childcare program. In 2023, Salt Lake County only had 45% of childcare
needs met, the third highest of all the counties in Utah.
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 2018, the State of Utah has
welcomed an average of 528 refugees each year. Because of the availability of refugee services,
many of these individuals will locate in the City. Besides refugee resettlement, Salt Lake City attracts
immigrants for job opportunities, university studies, and family connections. According to the 2018-
2022 ACS 5-Year Estimates, 30,948 (15.4%) of Salt Lake City’s 201,269 residents are foreign born.
Victims of Dating and Domestic Violence
In Utah, one in three women will face sexual violence, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate
partner at some point in their lives. Over a four-year period, 2019-2022, Salt Lake County had more
DV cases than any other county in Utah, ranging from 5,270 to 7,134 cases, with cases gradually
declining between 2021 and 2022.
During the 2022-2023 program year, South Valley Services (SVS) sheltered over 443 clients for 14,160
bed nights within Salt Lake County. Individuals who entered the domestic violence shelter system
stayed for an average of 31 days in 2023. Survivors of domestic violence must overcome many
barriers, 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
HUD defines a large family as having five or more members. According to the 2020 Census Data,
6,750 large-family households live in Salt Lake City, or 8% of the total households in the City. Of this
number, 61.1% were in owner-occupied households and 38.9% were in renter-occupied households.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 132
Persons with HIV/AIDS
A Utah Department of Health and Human Services report indicates that 1,887 persons were living
with HIV/AIDS in the State of Utah as of December 2020. Due to undiagnosed cases, this may not
represent the total population. For nearly a decade, the number of people newly diagnosed with
HIV in Utah declined steadily until 2011 when HIV infections generally increased each year. During
2021, 84 people in the metropolitan statistical area were diagnosed with HIV.

SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 133
Medical and supportive resources for persons with HIV/AIDS are concentrated in Salt Lake City and
Salt Lake County. Therefore, most of Utah’s population with HIV/AIDS comes 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 service needs of these populations, and how
are these needs determined?
The Housing Stability Division derived housing and supportive service needs of special populations
through focus groups with public service stakeholders, an evaluation of data from organizations who
work with these populations, and other local and national data sources.
Elderly
The housing and supportive service needs of Salt Lake City’s elderly population will increase as the
population continues to age. Although most of the City’s population is less than 39 years old,
21.2% of the population currently is or will be 65 or older during the life of this plan. Elderly
residents have a greater need for housing maintenance and rehabilitation assistance than the
general population due to the prevalence of disabilities in this age group, particularly ambulatory
disabilities. The areas of the City where elderly populations are concentrated, the East Bench and
upper Avenues neighborhoods, contain an older and mostly single -family housing stock, as shown in
Figures NA-45.1 and MA-20.1. HUD 2016-2020 CHAS data show 16,190 homes in the City built
before 1960. Many housing units occupied by elderly residents need to be retrofitted, updated,
and provided accessibility modifications to allow these residents the opportunity to age in place. In
addition to housing assistance, elderly populations need in-home medical care, food services, and
transportation services.
Persons with Disabilities
Affordable, stable housing is essential for individuals with mental, physical, and developmental
disabilities, and substance use disorders, as housing instability often worsens health outcomes and
recovery efforts. People with disabilities face higher rates of housing instability and limited access to
affordable, accessible housing. According to the State of Utah’s 2024 Point in Time Count (PIT), more
than one in three individuals experiencing homelessness in Utah is severely mentally ill, and around
one in four have a substance abuse disorder. Additionally, individuals who experience
homelessness are at an increased risk for preventable diseases and face significant barriers to
healthcare access.
Approximately 39% 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.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 134
Female-Headed Households with Children
Low-income, female-headed households with children need more long-term stable housing, along
with job training, employment placement services, and childcare opportunities.
Nearly 154,000 children in Utah under the age of 6 needed care in 2020, but there were only 37,633
available slots reported in childcare programs. This means there are at least three additional
children in need of childcare for every child who is currently in a childcare program. In 2023, the
National Household Education Survey reported that the main reasons families had difficulty finding
childcare was cost (34%) and “lack of open slots” (34%). Combined with the State’s childcare
discrepancy, this indicates that there is an increased need for more affordable and available
childcare services to enable female-headed households to provide for their children.
Immigrants and Refugees
Immigrants and refugees often face unique challenges as they resettle, including access to
affordable housing, cultural orientation, healthcare, legal assistance, and reliable transportation.
Barriers such as language differences, limited credit history, and lack of employment records can
make securing stable housing difficult, increasing vulnerability to housing instability and
discrimination.
Comprehensive support services play a crucial role in helping immigrants and refugees achieve long -
term stability and self-sufficiency. These services often include language training, employment
assistance, housing placement, and transportation support. In Salt Lake City, resettlement agencies
such as the Asian Association of Utah, Catholic Community Services, and the International Rescue
Committee (IRC) in Salt Lake City offer tailored programs to address these needs.
These organizations provide holistic approaches that prioritize cultural integration, workforce
readiness, and long-term housing solutions, ensuring that immigrants and refugees have the
resources they need to thrive in their new communities.
Survivors of Dating/Domestic Violence
Survivors of domestic violence often face significant challenges in securing safe and stable housing,
particularly in Salt Lake County. In 2020, 18.1% of adult females and 10% of adult males in Utah
reported experiencing intimate partner violence, with les s than 15% seeking help. The 2022 Point-in-
Time Count revealed that 27% of the homeless population in Salt Lake County were survivors of
domestic violence, highlighting the critical need for emergency and transitional housing. Local
organizations, such as South Valley Services, provide safe shelter and supportive services to
individuals impacted by domestic violence. However, funding limitations create significant barriers
for those seeking safety and recovery, leading to waitlists and unmet needs. Addition ally, the Utah
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 135
Domestic Violence Coalition emphasizes the importance of culturally specific advocacy to effectively
support diverse communities. Addressing these gaps is essential to provide comprehensive support
for survivors in Salt Lake City.
Large-Family Households
The availability of rental units with four or more bedrooms in Salt Lake City has declined in recent
years, making it increasingly difficult for large families to find suitable housing. According to ACS
data, in 2013, 8.4% of all rentals had 4 or more bedrooms; this number declined to 6.7% by 2018. As
of 2022, only 5.4% of all rentals had 4 or more bedrooms. Meanwhile, the percentage of 2- to 3-
bedroom rental units increased indicating that smaller housing units are being built. Between 2018
and 2022, the City added a total of 8,321 housing units. 42.4% of these had one or two rooms, with
26.2% having three to five rooms, and 31.4% having six or more rooms.
This shortage of larger rental units poses challenges for large-family households seeking adequate
accommodation. The City’s 2023-2028 housing plan, Housing SLC, acknowledges the need for more
family-sized housing units and sets goals to increase the availability of such units to better meet the
needs of all residents. Addressing this gap is crucial to ensure that large families in Salt Lake City
have access to appropriate and affordable housing options.
Persons with HIV/AIDS
Individuals living with HIV/AIDS in Salt Lake City face housing instability due to challenges such as
substance use disorders, mental health issues, and barriers to maintaining stable employment.
Improved access to employment support and healthcare services remains essential for addressing
these challenges.
Salt Lake City’s Housing Stability 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 UAF Legacy Health to
obtain further access to services.
Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their
families within the eligible metropolitan statistical area.
Utah has experienced an increasing rate of new HIV diagnoses since 2020. After a brief spike in 2016
to six new diagnoses per 100,000 people, rates declined and remained steady at five diagnoses until
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 136
2020. By 2022, the rate returned to six new diagnoses per 100,000 people per year, with 155 new
HIV cases reported. The mortality rate in 2022 was one.
Salt Lake County had the highest new diagnosis rate of any county in Utah. In 2022, Salt Lake
County's rate was 11, more than double that of the next highest, Cache County, which had a rate of
five. See the table below for a comparison of available countie s.

A racial disparity exists among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWDH) in Utah. In 2022, 29.4% of
PLWDH were Hispanic or Latino individuals, who represent only 14.6% of Utah’s population.
Additionally, 9.1% of PLWDH were Black or African American, despite thi s group making up just 1.1%
of the state's population. See Figure NA-45.5 and Table NA-45.5 below for additional details on
these disparities.

NA-50 Non-Housing Community Development Needs | 24 CFR
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 community development priority. In 2014, Salt Lake City
constructed a $125 million Public Safety Building, shared with the City’s Fire Department, which will
meet the need for future, growth-related police officers. Impact fees contribute to meeting future
capital facility needs tied to new growth, ensuring sustainable support for public safety
infrastructure.
How Were These Needs Determined?
As part of the Consolidated Plan process, an internal stakeholder group met to discuss needs from
the perspective of various City departments.
Describe the Jurisdiction’s Need for Public Improvements:
Parks and Public Lands
According to the City’s most recent General Fund IFFP and IFA, to maintain the current level of
service, Salt Lake City Parks and Public Lands Division needed to invest approximately $45 million
between 2017 and 2027. These costs should be offset by impact fees related to new growth. As of
the preparation of that analysis, Salt Lake City Parks and Public Lands Division 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
To maintain the current level of service, Salt Lake City Streets and Transportation Divisions plan to
invest approximately $157,664,768 in capital facilities over the next ten years, $12,675,000 of which
is growth related and 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 must
be funded with revenue sources other than impact fees. The City has issued an $87 million bond to
pay for street improvements. The first block of approximately $20 million has been issued and the
City anticipates issuing the remaining authorization by 2026.
How Were These Needs Determined?
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 142
As part of the Consolidated Plan process, an internal stakeholder group met to discuss needs from
the perspective of various departments within the City.
The Salt Lake City Streets and Transportation Divisions participated in the development of an Impact
Fee Facilities Plan (IFFP) in 2020, reflecting growth from 2019 to 2029. This plan identifies the capital
facilities the City will need to build within that 10-year timeframe to continue at the current level of
service and accommodate the needs of projected growth.
The bulk of the transportation improvements will be paid for with an $87 million bond issued by Salt
Lake City, supplemented by impact fees. Street improvements are not considered to be a top priority
of this Plan.
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 next ten years
(2017-2027) to continue the current level of service and accommodate the needs of projected
growth.
Describe the Jurisdiction’s Need for Public Services:
The major public service needs are for affordable housing and homeless services. Related to these
two overarching needs are transportation needs for low-income households and economic
opportunities, such as job training to increase self-sufficiency and supportive services for individuals

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 State’s Strategic Plan on Homelessness. In addition, the public participation
portion of this process featured a series of meetings with both internal and external 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 key to determining homeless needs. Finally, the City conducted a survey that received
nearly five hundred responses. The survey findings underscored homelessness and affordable
housing as the City’s top priorities for community development.

HOUSING MARKET ASSESSMENT
This Market Analysis outlines the environment in which Salt Lake City will implement its federal grant
programs over the Consolidated Plan period. Together with the Needs Assessment, the Market
Analysis informs the Strategic Plan and guides the development of programs and projects.
MA-05 Overview
Salt Lake City has evolved into one of the nation’s most diverse, sustainable, and innovative
economies. Salt Lake City offers unparalleled outdoor recreation opportunities, internationally
recognized technology and research facilities, and competitive higher education institutions. The City
also boasts industry-leading healthcare facilities, a modern transit system, an expanding
international airport, and a multilingual, educated workforce.
Despite economic growth within the region, housing costs have outpaced household income
increases, creating signiflcant challenges for low-income families seeking affordable housing.
Following previous trends, rental rates increased by 33.7% between 2018 a nd 2022. Decreases in
rental affordability, combined with extremely low vacancy rates, have created a very tight rental
market, leading to increased difflculty for low-income households to obtain affordable housing.
Individuals displaced from housing likewise have more difflculty, given market conditions, flnding
suitable substitute housing. The City needs to preserve the existing housing stock and continue to
implement strategies to combat displacement in housing for vulnerable populations, such as
Thriving In Place. These strategies are designed to beneflt low -income populations and stabilize
neighborhoods.
The following subsections highlight the key points of this market analysis.
Housing Market Conditions
•From 2010 to 2022, housing costs rose signiflcantly for both renters and homeowners, with
median rental rates increasing by 70.4% and home values by 85.4%. During the same period,
the median household income only increased by 55.2%. With rising housing costs outpacing
incomes, buying a home has become more difflcult and the rate of homeownership has
declined from 49.7% in 2010 to 47.0% in 2022.
•Average rental rates in Salt Lake County reached $1,654, increasing by 82.4% from 2015 to
2023.
•The Salt Lake City area apartment vacancy rate was at 2.5% with the Downtown area
reporting a 3.1% vacancy rate. While vacancy rates have risen slightly in recent years, the
market remains tight, exacerbating affordability challenges.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 148
•An analysis of housing gaps has determined that Salt Lake City has a shortage of 5,249 rental
units affordable to renters earning less than $20,000 per year. This is down from a shortage
of 6,177 rental units in 2018.
•Speciflcally, 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 support housing for vulnerable populations such as individuals who are
chronically homeless, mentally disabled, or physically disabled.
Barriers to Affordable Housing
•Substandard housing conditions—such as overcrowding, cost burden, and the absence of
complete plumbing or kitchen facilities—pose barriers to suitable, affordable
housing. According to HUD data, 46.8% of renters and 20.1% of homeowners in Salt Lake
City live in units with at least one deflcient condition. CHAS data also indicate that 635
housing units, both vacant and occupied, lack a complete kitchen or plumbing facilities.
•Barriers to affordable housing development include both market and regulatory factors.
These include land costs, construction costs, flnancing resources, foreclosures,
neighborhood market conditions, economic conditions, land use regulations, development
assessments, permit processing procedures, a lack of zoning incentives, and landlord -tenant
policies.
•Transportation costs can be a barrier to affordable housing, especially with increasing
distances traveled and time spent during the commute. Nearly half (44.4%) of workers living
in the City travel 15 to 29 minutes for work.
Housing Services
•Salt Lake City’s public housing network—managed by HASLC, Housing Connect, and The
Road Home—includes 31 properties with over 2,200 units serving vulnerable populations.
The City’s housing authorities also provide 4,797 HUD program vouchers, including Hous ing
Choice Vouchers, Project-Based Vouchers, and specialized vouchers for veterans, individuals
experiencing homelessness, and persons with disabilities.
•Organizations provide a variety of facilities and services 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 care, employment support, substance abuse treatment, behavioral health
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 149
services, legal aid, veteran services, public assistance, family crisis intervention, hygiene
facilities, and other miscellaneous services. These organizations include government
agencies, faith-based organizations, service-oriented groups, housing authorities, health
service organizations, and others.
•The 2023–2024 Salt Lake City budget allocated a total of $448.5 million for City services. This
includes $20 million for affordable housing and expanded services for unsheltered
residents.
Salt Lake City’s housing and supportive service network addresses the needs of the elderly, persons
with disabilities, those with substance addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and
public housing residents through a variety of programs. Service coordination often relies on case
management and referral systems to connect individuals to opportunities such as housing,
healthcare, job training, and addiction treatment.

MA-10 Number of Housing Units |24 CFR 91.120(a) & (b)(2)
Introduction
According to the 2018–2022 American Community Survey (ACS), Salt Lake City has 93,105 housing
units, 91.8% of which are occupied. Of these, 47.0% are owner -occupied. Since the 2020 U.S. Census,
the number of housing units has increased by 936 units, or 1%, which is higher than the national
average of 0.3% during the same period. Salt Lake City is the largest city in the County and
comprises 21.6% of the County’s housing stock.
Tables MA-10.1 and MA-10.2 provide a breakdown of the housing inventory located within the City.
One-unit detached structures remain the most common property type, making up nearly half of Salt
Lake City’s housing stock. However, the largest percentage growth since 2018 occurred in multi-
family complexes with 20 or more units.

SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 153
•Housing Coordination/Resource Identiflcation
HOPWA funding targets extremely low- to low-income individuals diagnosed with HIV/AIDS.
Local Funds
The Salt Lake City Housing Trust Fund provides flnancial 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. Funding is targeted to households earning up to 80% AMI.
Salt Lake City Community Reinvestment Agency
Under Utah Code Title 17C Community Reinvestment Agencies Act, the Salt Lake City Community
Reinvestment Agency can 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. Between flscal
years 2018 and 2022, the Community Reinvestment Agency has funded 20 residential projects,
creating nearly 2,000 affordable housing units. In the 2022–2023 flscal year, the Redevelopment
Agency completed three major residential projects—The Aster, Colony B, and Paperbox Lofts—
adding 275 affordable units to Salt Lake City’s housing stock.
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 flnancing. 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 households earning 60% AMI or less.
During the 2022 flscal year, UHC helped over 3,000 families purchase a home with its down payment
assistance program, with approximately 89% of transactions involving flrst time homebuyers. UHC
also helped fund affordable housing development that created nearly 1,500 new rental units across
Utah.
State Funds
The Olene Walker Housing Loan Fund’s (OWHLF) Multi-Family Program provides flnancial assistance
for the acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of affordable rentals for households at or below
50% of AMI. The median income of all households served by OWHLF is 43.36% of AMI.
During the 2023-2024 program year, the fund supported construction or rehabilitation of 873 units
of multi-family housing, as well as 44 single-family units statewide.

Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population?
As of Fall 2024, the Salt Lake City area apartment vacancy rate stood at 2.5%, with Downtown Salt
Lake City reporting a slightly higher vacancy rate of 3.1%. Vacancy rates have risen slightly since
2020, refiecting an increase in market-rate housing availability due to signiflcant new developments
that are not fully absorbed by the market. Table MA-10.4 highlights the vacancy rates for sub-areas
of the City.

Despite these increases in general rental inventory vacancies, affordable rental housing remains a
signiflcant challenge, particularly for low-income households at all AMI levels and individuals with
disabilities. Rising home costs, an owner-occupied vacancy rate of 0.5%, and limited housing choices
exacerbate the issue for the most vulnerable populations. Limitations on housing choice are
particularly signiflcant 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 speciflc types of housing:
Salt Lake City has assessed housing needs based on current conditions and anticipated population
trends. Currently, speciflc 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 owner-occupied housing for lower income households
•Affordable and accessible housing for persons with disabilities
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 157
•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 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing | 24 CFR 91.210 (a)
Introduction
From 2010 to 2022, housing costs rose signiflcantly for both renters and homeowners, creating
affordability challenges across income levels. As demonstrated in Table MA-15.1, the median
contract rent increased from $818 in 2010 to $1,394 in 2022, a 70.4% increase. Median home values
increased 85.4%, from $237,500 to $440,400. During the same period, the median household
income only increased by 55.2%, from $58,004 in 2010 to $90,011 in 2022. Since incomes have not
kept up with increasing housing costs, residents have more difflculty buying or renting a home. As a

The data indicate that nearly 67% of rental units fall within the $1,000–1,499 range or lower yet
demand at lower price points remains unmet because of the number of renters who cannot afford
higher rents, as shown in Table MA-15.5.

As part of various HUD programs, HUD sets what it considers to be Fair Market Rents (FMR), as well
as rental rates for the HOME program. FRMs are calculated across the country, and include the
contract rent plus all major utilities. Table MA-15.4 provides the current FRM and HOME rental rates
for Salt Lake City.

Figure MA-15.1 maps the market values of residential dwellings within Salt Lake City. Most of the
homes east of I-15 are valued at over $300,000 with many of those homes valued at over $500,000.
The majority of homes that could be considered more affordable are located on the west of I-15,
particularly south of I-80 as well.

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels?
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. Based on an
analysis of housing gaps from 2018-2022 ACS data, Salt Lake City faces a shortage of 5,250 rental
units. This shortage decreased from 6,177 units in 2018, indicating some progress in addressing the
housing gap. As shown in Table MA-15.5, this shortage disproportionately impacts lower-income
families.

Despite increasing rental costs, the City’s rental gap continues to narrow. This is indicative of the
success of efforts towards increasing the housing supply in the City.
How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values
and/or rents?
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 163
Housing costs have risen sharply in recent years across both rental and ownership markets, with
affordability becoming increasingly constrained for low- and moderate-income households. As Table
MA-15.6 demonstrates, Salt Lake County rental rates are at an all-time high, with an 82.4% increase
between 2015 and 2022. Diminishing rental affordability, coupled with persistently low vacancy
rates, has exacerbated housing challenges, particularly for low-income households.

As indicated in Table MA-15.7, prices for existing home sales in the Salt Lake City metropolitan area
increased signiflcantly between 2020 and 2022. The number of homes sold during this
period decreased, due in part to the rising cost of owner-occupied homes and the U.S. 30-year
flxed mortgage rate average nearly doubling since January 2020.

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 remain lower than prevailing rental rates in Salt
Lake City, underscoring the need to preserve existing subsidized housing and expand affordability
initiatives. 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 the prevailing
rent amounts. Individuals and families displaced from subsidized housing will have a challenging
time flnding suitable replacement housing affordable at their income level. In the current housing
market, rental subsidies are usually required for populations that fall below 50% AMI. To address
these gaps, the City will focus on rehabilitating existing housing stock, implementing anti-
displacement measures, and stabilizing neighborhoods to support vulnerable populations.
Discussion
Historically high rents, rising home costs, and exceptionally low vacancy rates have intensifled the
struggles of low-income households in securing affordable housing. An analysis of housing gaps
found that Salt Lake City has a shortage of 5,250 rental. This shows an overall decline of 927 units
from the shortage of 6,177 rental units in 2018. Although efforts appear to have bee n successful to
decrease the gap, with rising rents and few units available, this trend could reverse, and the housing
gap could increase. Salt Lake City is committed to preserving existing affordable housing and actively
facilitating new development to address critical housing needs and prevent further increases in
homelessness. These initiatives are essential to preventing an increase in homelessness.

MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing
Introduction
This section provides a detailed examination of the condition of housing in Salt Lake City, focusing
on deflnitions of substandard housing, the need for rehabilitation, and the prevalence of Lead Based
Paint (LBP) hazards. The flrst section addresses key data and responses to speciflc questions, while
the second section offers a broader discussion.
Overview of Housing Conditions
Describe the jurisdiction’s deflnition for “substandard condition” and “substandard
condition but suitable for rehabilitation:”
Salt Lake City deflnes substandard housing as units that fail to meet the City’s housing code. While
the term "substandard condition" is not offlcially used, the City prioritizes rehabilitation projects to
address deflciencies identifled in non-compliant residential units. The City also follows the federal
register deflnitions for substandard housing in 24 CFR § 5.425. For units to be considered in
“substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation,” they must be both economically and
structurally viable.
Describe the need for owner and renter rehabilitation based on the condition of the
jurisdiction’s housing:
According to the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS), a dataset provided by the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), approximately 46.8% of renters and
20.1% of homeowners in Salt Lake City reside in housing with at least one selected condition. These
selected conditions often include cost burdens, overcrowding, or a lack of complete plumbing or
kitchen facilities. Additionally, 635 housing un its—both vacant and occupied—lack complete kitchen
or plumbing facilities in Salt Lake City. Rehabilitation needs are more pressing for older units,
particularly those built before 1960, which account for 43.3% of the City’s housing stock (Table MA
20.1).

Estimate the number of housing units within the jurisdiction that
are occupied by low- or moderate-income families that contain
lead-based paint hazards. |24 CFR 91.205 (e), 91.405
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates suggest that 75% of homes built before 1978
contain lead-based paint (LBP). In Salt Lake City, about 70.4% of low to moderate income families,
comprising 33.9% owner-occupied and 66.1% renter-occupied homes, are at risk of lead-based paint
(LBP) exposure (see Table MA-20.2). Targeted mitigation efforts are essential, as homes built before
1940 have an 87.0% likelihood of containing LBP (see Figure MA-20.3).

Discussion
Substandard Condition and/or Suitable for Rehabilitation Housing
Salt Lake City prioritizes rehabilitation efforts for units that are economically and structurally viable.
Of the City’s 175 vacant or boarded buildings, 52 are categorized as “vacant secured” and more likely
to meet rehabilitation criteria compared to the 123 boarded buildings (Table MA-20.4).

Vacant Secured Boarded Total
Vacant/Boarded Buildings 52 123 175
Source: Salt Lake City Civil Enforcement, 2024
Vacant buildings, deflned by the Salt Lake City Code as unoccupied structures with secured windows
and doors, are generally more suitable and economically viable for rehabilitation compared to
boarded buildings. Boarded buildings are those where accessible openings are secured by
secondary means, making them less likely to meet rehabilitation criteria. Unit numbers are not
tracked for vacant or boarded buildings. Efforts focus on securing and revitalizing these vacant
properties to address housing shortages and improve community safety.
Owner and Renter Rehabilitation Needs
The rehabilitation needs for renters surpass those of homeowners, with 44.2% of renter-occupied
units exhibiting at least one selected condition, compared to 19.5% of owner -occupied units (see
Table MA-20.4).

While older homes may often be in excellent condition due to revitalization efforts in the area,
substandard housing issues and LBP exposures are still more likely to occur in this segment of
housing., Many of Salt Lake City's block groups with a high percentage of older units are
concentrated below 900 South and east of State Street, as shown in Figure MA -20.2 below.

Lead-Based Paint Hazards
The high prevalence of older housing stock underscores the urgency of addressing LBP hazards.
With 29.0% of the housing stock built before 1940, there is a heightened risk of exposure,
particularly in units with children present. Children are more vulnerab le to lead poisoning due to
their developing nervous systems and a tendency to ingest lead particles through hand -to-mouth
behaviors, especially in environments with deteriorating lead-based paint.
In Salt Lake City, 3,275 low- and moderate-income families with children live in homes built before
1980. This includes 1,185 owner-occupied and 2,090 renter-occupied homes. Renter-occupied
housing, at 63.8%, is the larger of the two compared to only 36.2% of owner-occupied housing (Table
MA-20.5). These homes underscore the need for targeted lead-based paint (LBP) mitigation efforts.

Describe the restoration and revitalization needs of public housing units in the
jurisdiction:
Public housing units are regularly maintained to meet HUD standards, with HASLC and Housing
Connect conducting annual property assessments. These evaluations incorporate updated Housing
Quality Standards (HQS) to ensure safety and habitability. HASLC parti cipates in HUD’s Rental
Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program, securing long-term funding through Section 8 Project-
Based Voucher (PBV) or Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) contracts. This shift has allowed
HASLC to leverage private funding sources, such as Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTCs) and
tax-exempt bonds, to preserve and improve public housing properties without affecting the rent
paid by residents or the clientele served.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 176
HASLC’s updated 30-year improvement plan integrates RAD funding and private investments,
prioritizing health, safety, and modernization efforts. Each property follows a one -, flve-, and ten-
year improvement schedule aligned with HUD’s Capital Needs Assessment (CNA)
requirements. These changes ensure the long-term viability of public housing while expanding
opportunities for modernization and redevelopment, addressing the jurisdiction’s evolving housing
needs.
Describe the public housing agency’s strategy for improving the living environment
of low- and moderate-income families residing in public housing:
To improve living conditions in City housing complexes, the following strategies have been
implemented:
•Strengthened application screening processes
•Strict lease enforcement policies
•Security patrols by off-duty Salt Lake City Police offlcers
•Enhanced exterior lighting and accessibility for aging residents
•A robust preventative maintenance program
•Property upgrades and renovations as needed

*Permanent housing includes other permanent housing.
**Veterans category does not include veteran households with children, rather that is included in households with adults and
children. Of the households with adults and children, 112 are designated for veteran households with children.
Based on the 2023 Point-in-Time Count, 2,297 individuals were experiencing homelessness on the
day of the count. Outside of the permanent supportive housing beds, 2,485 beds are available for
homeless individuals. As of the 2023 count, there were sufflcient beds to house the homeless
population. However, the 2024 Point-in-Time Count showed a total of 2,404 homeless individuals,
nearly utilizing all available beds.
Describe mainstream services, such as health, mental health, and employment
services to the extent those services are used to complement services targeted to
homeless persons.
A wide array of mainstream services augments homeless-speciflc services in Salt Lake City. These
programs are an important aspect of providing homeless services in the City as they equip
individuals with the support needed to offset expenses, help prevent homelessness, and/or aid
individuals experiencing homelessness to exit quickly. Some of these services are:
•Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP);
•Medicare;
•Medicaid (for families);
•Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP);
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 179
•Veteran’s Beneflts;
•Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF);
•Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8);
•Unemployment beneflts;
•Worker’s Compensation;
•Social Security Disability (SSDI);
•Supplemental Security Income (SSI);
•Social Security; and
•Other miscellaneous beneflts.
List and describe services and facilities that meet the needs of homeless persons,
particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children,
veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth. If the services and facilities
are listed on screen SP-40 Institutional Delivery Structure or screen MA-35 Special
Needs Facilities and Services, describe how these facilities and services speciflcally
address the needs of these populations.
Salt Lake City has a wide range of services that are available to individuals who are experiencing
homelessness, as detailed in Table MA-30.2.

This section provides an overview of the facilities and services that ensure at-risk and special needs
populations, including persons returning from physical and mental health facilities, receive
appropriate supportive housing.
The table below, titled HOPWA Assistance Baseline, provides a summary of the various types of
housing assistance offered under the Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA)
program in Salt Lake City for the 2022-2023 program year. It outlines the number of households
served across different assistance categories, including Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA),
Permanent Facility-Based Housing (PFBH), Short-Term Rent, Mortgage, and Utility Assistance
(STRMU), Short-Term/Transitional Facility-Based Housing (STTFBH), and Permanent Housing
Placement (PHP). These data highlight the distribution of support services aimed at addressing
housing stability for at-risk and special needs populations, particularly those transitioning from
physical and mental health facilities or facing housing insecurity.

Including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical,

HIV/AIDS and their families, public housing residents and any other categories the
jurisdiction may SPECIFY AND describe their supportive housing needs
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 the following efforts:
•Physical healthcare programs
•Mental healthcare programs
•Emergency daycare services
•Youth day centers
•Homeless day centers
•Emergency food pantries
•Tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA) programs
•Project-based rental assistance (PBRA) programs
•Transitional housing programs
•Rapid re-housing programs permanent supportive housing programs
•Housing accessibility programs homelessness prevention services
•Substance addiction treatment programs
•Life skills training programs
•Employment training programs
•Transportation assistance programs
•Fair housing advocacy programs
These efforts are typically coordinated through a case management and referral format to link
services and opportunities. Even with the multitude of diverse services available in Salt Lake City,
there are still gaps in services.
Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical
health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing.
Despite the availability of programs that provide supportive housing opportunities for persons
dealing with mental and physical health recovery in Salt Lake City, these opportunities are in high
demand with limited resources available. Data from 2022 show that individuals experiencing
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 189
homelessness in Salt Lake County spent an average of 88 nights in shelters, up from 60 nights in
2017. This increase refiects difflculties in transitioning individuals to permanent housing,
exacerbated by a shortage of affordable housing options. Additionally, in August 2024, data from
Utah’s Offlce of Homeless Service indicated that homelessness in Utah is a growing issue, with
increasing numbers of individuals experiencing homelessness for the flrst time.
To address these challenges, several key programs in Salt Lake City focus speciflcally on supporting
individuals transitioning from mental and physical health institutions to stable housing.
The following initiatives combine housing assistance with es sential services like healthcare,
mental health counseling, and case management, to ensure a holistic approach to long -term
recovery and stability.
•Housing Related Services and Supports (HRSS) Program – Administered through Utah
Medicaid, the HRSS program ensures that individuals in Salt Lake City who are transitioning
from mental and physical health institutions receive essential housing support services. This
includes tenancy assistance, support for maintaining stable housing, and community
transition services. The program speciflcally targets individuals at risk of homelessness or re -
institutionalization in Salt Lake County.
•State Hospital Diversion (SHD) Program – The State Hospital Diversion Program, managed
by Housing Connect, serves Salt Lake City residents facing severe mental health challenges.
This program prioritizes individuals transitioning from the Utah State Hospital or other
psychiatric facilities. With ongoing support from case management teams, participants are
provided with housing assistance and therapeutic services tailored to their recovery journey.
•Permanent Supportive Housing by Valley Behavioral Health – Valley Behavioral Health
operates numerous permanent supportive housing units in Salt Lake City, designed for
individuals experiencing chronic homelessness, mental health disorders, or substance use
challenges. These housing units provide a stable environment paired with mental health
care, medication management, and life skills training. This program emphasizes long-term
housing stability and recovery.
•Pamela’s Place – Located in Salt Lake City, Pamela’s Place is a permanent supportive
housing development operated by the Housing Authority of Salt Lake City. Opened in 2020, it
provides 100 housing units for individuals experiencing homelessness, many of whom are
transitioning from healthcare facilities. On-site services include access to healthcare, mental
health counseling, and community integration support.
•Medically Vulnerable People (MVP) Program – The MVP Program in Salt Lake City serves
medically fragile individuals, including seniors and veterans, who are transitioning from
hospitals or healthcare facilities. This program offers interim housing and wraparound
medical care, helping participants stabilize their health and secure permanent housing. MVP
addresses the unique medical and housing needs of Salt Lake’s most vulnerable
populations.

SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 191
MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing |24 CFR 91.210(e)
Affordable housing development, preservation, and improvement face signiflcant challenges due to
market and regulatory barriers. These barriers, identifled by Salt Lake City’s Housing Stability
Division through task force groups and stakeholder meetings, impact the City’s ab ility to meet
current and future housing needs for low- and moderate-income residents.
The following sections highlight some of the identifled barriers to the preservation, improvement,
and development of housing of affordable to low- and moderate-income households.
Economic Conditions
•Since 2018, incomes in the Salt Lake Valley have risen, but they have not kept pace with
escalating housing values and construction costs, thereby widening the affordability gap.
•Infiationary pressures have strained household incomes, leaving less space for increasing
housing costs.
•High transportation costs in certain neighborhoods reduce disposable income for housing,
disproportionately affecting low-income households.
Land Regulations and Permitting Process
Salt Lake City’s Zoning Ordinance establishes standards for residential development, such as
minimum lot size, density, unit size, setbacks, and parking requirements. While these regulations
promote organized development, they often hinder the feasibility of affordable housing due to:
•Density restrictions;
•Limited zoning for multifamily housing;
•Stringent parking requirements, which increase development costs;
•Reportedly difflcult to navigate processes to waive/reduce impact fees for affordable
housing; and
•Lengthy permitting and environmental review processes, which discourage developers from
pursuing affordable housing projects and often lead to a preference for higher -margin,
market-rate developments.
Land Costs
•Elevated land costs in high-demand neighborhoods make affordable housing development
flnancially unviable, concentrating such projects in lower-cost areas and perpetuating
geographic inequities.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 192
•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 is often constructed in areas that result in high percentages of inco me being spent
towards transportation. Ultimately, these developments further exacerbate trafflc issues.
Construction Costs
•Volatile construction and labor costs have driven up rents, limiting developers’ ability to
produce affordable housing without subsidies or incentives. Consequently, the proflt margin
in providing affordable housing is typically limited, or altogether non-existent without the
presence of incentives and tax credits.
•Material costs and supply chain pressures have created challenges for some projects
because of the global pandemic.
•Rehabilitation of existing products 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 proflt for undertaking such renovation. Thi s limits the
desire to undertake such endeavors unless incentives can be provided.
Development and Rehabilitation Financing
•Complex flnancing structures for affordable housing increase land holding costs due to
prolonged due diligence and extended project timelines. This is partially alleviated with City
incentive programs that reduce some flnancing pressures.
•Rising interest rates further infiate development costs, complicating funding for affordable
housing projects.
•There is strong competition for local funding tools, such as the State of Utah’s Olene Walker
Housing Loan Fund.
Neighborhood Market Conditions
•Community opposition, often referred to as “Not In My Backyard” (NIMBYism), poses a
signiflcant barrier to affordable housing projects requiring zoning approval.
•Transit-accessible neighborhoods often lack appeal for large-scale housing developments
due to inadequate infrastructure, higher crime rates, and limited employment
opportunities.
For details on current and proposed strategies to address these barriers, refer to Section SP -55:
Barriers to Affordable Housing in this Plan.

Introduction
Salt Lake City is one of the most diverse, sustainable, and innovative economies in the nation. The
City links 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 airport; and cultural opportunities. Strong
economic activity is enhanced by culturally rich neighborhoods that intermix diverse housing
opportunities with locally owned businesses. Additionally, the individual poverty rate decreased
between 2018 and 2022, from 17.9% to 14.1%.
Although Salt Lake City’s economy is strong, economic inequality is escalating within the community.
Between 2012 and 2022, homeowner incomes increased by 54.83% while renter incomes increased
by 76.29%. Although rental incomes increased at a higher rate, the median rental income is only
49.1% of the median homeowner income, a 6 percentage point increase from 2012.

The most prevalent employment industry for Salt Lake City workers is educational services, and
health care and social assistance, with 26.6% of the total labor force employed in this area. Both the
arts, entertainment, and recreation, and accommodation and food services indu stry and the retail
trade industry employ a large portion of the City’s workforce. These industries generally pay lower
wages, and residents employed in these areas may be more susceptible to cost challenges for
housing or critical services.
Table MA-45.3 provides a breakdown of the occupations of the City’s labor force. Nearly half of all
City residents are employed in management, business, science, and arts occupations.

Based on the Business Activity table above, what are the major employment sectors
within your jurisdiction?
Table MA-45.1 shows that the major employment sectors within this jurisdiction are: 1) Education
and Health Care Services; 2) Professional, Scientiflc, Management Services; 3) Arts, Entertainment,
Accommodations; and 4) Retail Trade. The largest employers in the City are the University Hospital,
Amazon, Salt Lake County, and Delta Airlines.
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 300,000 fiights in 2023. These fiights connect cargo, passengers, and
international business opportunities to the area. 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 signiflcant
distribution accessibility and economic opportunity. The Inland Port, located in the northwest
quadrant of Salt Lake City, will provide further opportunities for industry and job growth. Since its
creation in 2018, the Inland Port has welcomed multiple businesses to the area, including Stadler
Rail, Holcim, Northrop Grumman, and bioMérieux. A total of 16,000 acres of land is included in this
project area. Due to projected growth in this area, stakeholders felt the City needs better east -west
connections between residential development and employment centers to best capitalize on the
opportunities presented.
The City remains a central arts and cultural center for the State and relies heavily on the service
industry to provide for continued growth in this area.
Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned
local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected
or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period.
Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure
these changes may create.
2034 Winter Olympics
In 2002, the City hosted the XIX Olympic Winter Games, which were viewed by many as some of the
most successful games in Olympic history. On July 24th, 2024, the International Olympic Committee
announced that the XXVII Olympic Winter Games would be hosted by Salt Lake City in 2034,
making Salt Lake the flfth city to host multiple Olympic games. With the announcement of the
Olympic return to the City, analysis is already being conducted to assess the potential economic
impact of the 2034 Olympics. Estimates calculated by the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute estimate
the total economic impact to surpass $6.6 billion with a cumulative $2.6 billion of new spending in
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 203
Utah. Speciflcally impacting the City, the Gardner Institute estimates net local revenues (to all
affected entities) to be $29.3 million and to create a total employment of 42,040 job years. The
Olympic games will require additional infrastructure improvements to transportation networks that
will beneflt the City long after the games have ended.
Capital City Reinvestment Zone
During the 2024 Utah Legislative Session, the Legislature passed Senate Bill 272 (SB272), creating the
Capital City Reinvestment Zone (Zone), which allowed for the use of new tax revenue to help flnance
improvements to the Zone. These improvements may incl ude “roads and infrastructure, public
safety resources, publicly owned facilities, a new or renovated stadium, and other developments
within the Zone.” Following passage of this bill, on April 18th, 2024, the National Hockey League (NHL)
announced plans to create an expansion franchise in Salt Lake City, owned by the Smith
Entertainment Group (SEG). This franchise, since temporarily named the Utah Hockey Club, will
share the Delta Center with the Utah Jazz.
The revitalization of this area is a key focus because of the potential for increased economic growth
as a result. A study prepared by the flrm D.A. Davidson estimated the new tax would create an
estimated $1.2 billion in sales tax revenue to carry out the objectives of the plan and result in over
$22 million in tax revenues between 2024 and 2029 to the City. These revitalization efforts are
intended to create an entertainment district that will allow for enhanced opportunities for the City
and State.
Airport
Currently in the middle of a $5.1 billion rebuild, the Airport has increasingly become a vital part of
the City’s economy. The Airport is the 21st busiest airport in the United States with more than 330
fiights daily and nearly 27 million passengers in 2023. Once completed, the airport will be able to
accommodate 34 million passengers per year.
The Airport is a major employment center for the City, not only from direct employment, but with
supporting industries surrounding the Airport as well. An analysis conducted in 2020 calculated the
total economic impact of the Airport at over $11 billion. Jviation, Inc. analyzed visitor spending and
estimated it at $7 billion. Although the City does not realize all of that impact, it receives a
substantial amount of the economic activity from the Airport.
Northwest Quadrant/Inland Port
Although vast quantities of land in the City are currently developed, the Northwest Quadrant area of
the City largely remains undeveloped. It totals around 28,000 acres with 16,000 acres in the Utah
Inland Port. These projects are major industrial developments that have the potential to create large
amounts of value to the City, both in employment and taxable revenue.
Utah Fairpark Area Investment and Restoration District
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 204
During the 2024 Utah Legislative Session, the Legislature passed House Bill 562 (HB562), creating the
Utah Fairpark Area Investment and Restoration District (Fairpark District). The bill authorizes the
Fairpark District to levy certain taxes to offset costs to improve and restore areas along the Jordan
River, support the Utah State Fairgrounds, and develop a stadium for a major league team and
supporting developments.
This site is approximately 100-acres with potential to create a mixed-use development on the west
side of I-15. The development would be anchored by the Utah State Fairgrounds and a baseball
stadium for a potential Major League Baseball (MLB) team. This project, similar to the Zone, has the
potential to create a major entertainment district in the City. The North Temple Corridor, which runs
through the proposed project area, could be beneflted by increased development and visitation
associated with the development.
How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment
opportunities in the jurisdiction?
The education and skill levels currently seen in the City align with the major industries that employ
Salt Lake City workers. Table MA-45.2 and Table MA-45.3 show a high number of workers employed
in industries or jobs that require higher education. However, the City is also experiencing growth in
jobs that do not require higher education as a condition of employment. For this reason, it is
important to support alternative training or educational opportunities so that Salt Lake City
residents are positioned to succeed in these positions.
Describe any current workforce training initiative including those supported by
Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations.
Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction’s Consolidated Plan.
The 2025-2029 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
helping clients develop key life skills that are necessary to be successful in the workplace. By
highlighting these initiatives in the Consolidated Plan, the City can assist these programs
with increasing their capacity to provide services.
Many of these programs focus on assisting vulnerable populations, a few of which are listed below:
•Advantage Services (non-proflt that employs homeless people with disabilities)
•Asian Association of Utah (refugees and immigrants)
•The Columbus Foundation (individuals with disabilities)
•English Skills Learning Center (teaching English as a second language)
•Odyssey House (alcohol and drug rehabilitation)
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 205
•First Step House (substance use disorders and mental health)
Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development
Strategy?
No, Salt Lake City does not participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy. The
regional metropolitan planning organization, Wasatch Front Regional Council, operates the CEDS.
The four key anchors for the current 2023-2028 CEDS are as follows:
•Promoting City and Town Centers
•Facilitating Economic Development Capacity
•Supporting Human Capital Development
•Leveraging a Diverse Business Environment
If so, what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be
coordinated with the Consolidated Plan. If not, describe other local/regional 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-proflt ventures
•A business expanding or relocating to Salt Lake City
•Energy-efflcient (e2) equipment upgrades and building retroflts
•Businesses impacted by construction
•Construction/tenant improvement and/or real estate acquisition
•Signage, retail presentation, and display work
•Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and inventory
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 206
•Working capital and marketing
The EDLF fllls 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 are not meant to be long-term flnancing.
Master Plans

speciflc areas of the City. Planning efforts since 2010 include the planning documents:

Redevelopment Agency Programs
The Community Reinvestment Agency of Salt Lake City (CRA) works to revitalize Salt Lake 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, flnancing, and development of public improvements
•Providing management support and tax increment reimbursement for projects that will
revitalize underutilized areas
•Gap flnancing 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 historically grown at twice the
rate of surrounding areas that are not designated as CRA 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
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 208
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.
Façade Grant Program
The Housing Stability Division utilizes federal funding to support local businesses by offering up to
$25,000 in grants to improve their façades. These improvements include door upgrades, window
improvements, paint or stucco updating, installing of garages , security lighting, fascia/sofflt 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 2024, the City adopted its Connect SLC Plan. As the Plan unfolds, efforts will continue to be made
to coordinate and leverage resources in low-income neighborhoods.
The City has committed to improving public transit where it is able. This provides an opportunity to
leverage CDBG funds in disadvantaged neighborhoods to improve access to transportation and
facilitate multimodal transportation options. At the time the Tr ansit 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.
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 q ualifying areas. NMTC investors
receive a tax credit equal to 39% of the Qualifled Equity Investment (QEI) made in a Community
Development Entity (CDE) over a 7-year period.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 209
MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis: Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are
concentrated?
Salt Lake City has neighborhoods that are more likely to have housing units with multiple housing
problems. These neighborhoods generally contain an older housing stock occupied by low-income
households. Many of these neighborhoods are located in 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 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, one racially/ethnically concentrated area of poverty (R/ECAP) in
Salt Lake County was located outside of the City boundaries. The number of racially/ethnically
concentrated areas of poverty in the County has increased to flve, two of which are within Salt Lake
City boundaries, in the Fair Park and Downtown Alliance neighborhoods. A census tract qualifles as a
R/ECAP if at least 40% of the residents live at or below the poverty line, or a family poverty rate
greater than or equal to 300% of the metro tract average, and over half of the population is non-
white. The HUD 2024 R/ECAP areas in Fair Park and Downtown are calculated from 2020 Decennial
Census Data. The more recent American Community Survey 2018-2022 data depicts an improved
circumstance, with poverty rates decreasing to 27% and 18% in the Fair Park and Downtown
Alliance, respectively.
What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods?
Characteristics of these neighborhoods include lower median household incomes and home values
than Salt Lake City as a whole. Secondly, every neighborhood listed has a much larger and
disproportionate percentage of cost-burdened renters compared to Salt Lake City as a whole.
Finally, households located in neighborhoods on the west side of I-15, such as Poplar Grove and
Glendale have higher homeownership rates than the City average. Whereas the Ballpark, East
Central, Central City, and Downtown Alliance neighborhoods have much higher rental rates than the
City average. Other housing market and demographic data points can be found in Table MA-50.1.

Public Transit
The TRAX light rail line runs through the Ballpark and Poplar Grove neighborhoods, providing
efflcient public transportation options for residents. The light rail also runs within one block of the
Central City neighborhood, ensuring easy access to the broader Salt Lake Valley and increasing
employment opportunities for community members. In addition, numerous UTA bus routes traverse
the area, offering fiexible transit options for residents traveling within and beyond these
neighborhoods.
Complementing these traditional transit services is UTA On Demand, a micro transit service that
provides fiexible, affordable, and convenient transportation within designated service zones,
including parts of Salt Lake City. UTA On Demand operates similarl y to ride-sharing services,
allowing residents to book rides through a mobile app or by phone. This service is particularly
valuable for individuals in underserved areas or those who need transportation outside of flxed bus
and rail schedules, improving access to employment centers, education facilities, and essential
services.
Together, these transit options contribute to a well-connected urban environment, enhancing
mobility, reducing transportation barriers, and supporting economic opportunities across these
neighborhoods.
Redevelopment Project Areas
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.),
beautiflcation, economic development incentives, façade renovation, grant funds, parks
development, signage and wayflnding, etc. Speciflc objectives identifled by the CRA for uses of
funds within its existing project areas include:
•Emphasizing transit and connections to multi-modal transportation means;
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 215
•Creating high-quality pedestrian environments;
•Promoting inflll development;
•Supporting high quality, diverse, and affordable housing;
•Supporting public art in public places;
•Encouraging innovative sustainability practices and limit carbon emissions;
•Promoting transit-oriented development at key sites located at TRAX stations;
•Fostering growth of small and new businesses; and
•Participating in streetscape enhancements.
Opportunity Zones
As shown in Figure MA-50.1, a large percentage of the target area is also located in an opportunity
zone. Opportunity zones were established under the Investing in Opportunity Act to revitalize
economically distressed communities using private investment. Tax beneflts 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.

MA-60 Broadband Needs of Housing Occupied by Low- and
Moderate-Income Households | CFR 91.210(a)(4),
91.310(a)(2)
DESCRIBE THE NEED FOR BROADBAND WIRING AND CONNECTIONS FOR
HOUSEHOLDS, INCLUDING LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS AND
NEIGHBORHOODS
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) deflnes broadband internet as download speeds of
100 megabits per second and upload speeds of 20 megabits per second. Internet service providers
create opportunities for individuals to access the internet through providing either wired or wireless
connections. This may come through multiple platforms, including:
•Digital Subscriber Line (DSL);
•Cable Modem;
•Fiber;
•Wireless; and
•Satellite.
Dependable broadband access provides many beneflts, including attracting businesses, providing
social connections, increasing educational opportunities, and improving the quality of life for
citizens.
According to Broadband Now, 5.1% of Utah residents are underserved by broadband service
providers. However, most of these underserved communities are in rural areas of the state and only
1.2% of Salt Lake City is reportedly underserved. Underserved areas do not currently have
broadband access available, as deflned by the FCC.
While broadband wiring or connections are available to most households in Salt Lake City, that does
not mean all households have access to the internet. The 2022 ACS 5-year Estimate reported that
8,429 households in Salt Lake City did not have an internet connection, almost 10% of the City’s
households. An increasing number of households in the City have internet access, as this is a decline
of nearly 9% from the previous Consolidated Plan. While broadband access is improving, there are
still gaps that may present challenges to many households. Households without access to internet
services through broadband connection are at a signiflcant economic and educational
disadvantage when seeking new employment and if children or adults in the household are
attending school. If these households are also low - or moderate-income households, the lack of
internet connection could present a large barrier to economic growth for the household.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 217
Table MA-60.1 and Figure MA-60.1 demonstrate the distribution of internet access by income
levels. Based on American Community Survey estimates, lower -income households have a much
higher concentration of households without any internet subscription.

DESCRIBE THE NEED FOR INCREASED COMPETITION BY HAVING MORE THAN ONE
BROADBAND INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER SERVE THE JURISDICTION.
Competition is a basic economic principle that states that when there are multiple providers of a
service, the price of that service will decrease as the providers attempt to gain more market share
through more favorable pricing. By providing more options, consumers can look for an alternative
provider if they feel they are being charged too much for a service. This movement in the market
encourages providers to produce services at a competitive rate and protects consumers from unfair
prices.
The Utah Governor’s Offlce of Economic Opportunity reports a total of 63 broadband providers in
the State, 35 of whom provide services to Salt Lake City Residents. Table MA-60.2 lists the top 15
broadband providers, with their available download speed, and availability.

MA-65 Hazard Mitigation | 24 CFR 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 Hazard Mitigation Plan (Mitigation Plan), the
main natural hazards identifled and investigated for Salt Lake County include:
•Avalanche
•Dam Failure
•Drought
•Earthquake
•Flooding (Urban/Flash and Riverine Flooding)
•Landslide and Slope Failure
•Public Health Epidemic/Pandemic
•Radon
•Severe Weather
•Severe Winter Weather
•Tornado
•Wildland Fire
Of these natural hazards, Salt Lake County identifled Salt Lake City as high risk for earthquakes,
fioods, and wildflres, and moderate risk for drought, dam failure, and severe weather, which is
deflned by the State as encompassing “a broad range of weather phenomena” such as:
•Convective weather (lightning, straight-line wind, hail, tornadoes)
•Winter storms
•Extreme cold or extreme heat
•Synoptic winds (gradient, downslope)
•Climate-related hazards
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 222
DESCRIBE THE VULNERABILITY TO THESE RISKS OF HOUSING OCCUPIED BY LOW- AND
MODERATE-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS BASED ON AN ANALYSIS OF DATA, FINDINGS, AND
METHODS.
Low- and moderate-income households would experience a substantial flnancial impact from one of
these disasters as repairs from earthquakes, severe weather, fiooding, or wildflres could be costly.
The cost of repairs could be compounded depending on whether these households have insurance
coverage. State Farm data shows the average wildflre paid claim is $224,000. Without insurance, this
cost would fall solely on the household. The average cost to repair earthquake damage runs
between $4,000 to $30,000 but would run much higher for potentially catastrophic earthquakes.
Earthquakes
The City has a high risk of earthquakes, with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
stating there is a 43% chance of a 6.75 magnitude earthquake in the next 50 years. There are two
major fault zones within the City: Wasatch Fault Zone and West Valley Fault Zone, as shown in Figure
MA-65.1.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 223
FIGURE MA 65.1| MAP OF SALT LAKE COUNTY FAULT LINE
Source: Salt Lake County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
Both fault zones have experienced seismic activity in recent years, as shown in Figure MA -65.2.
Between 1962 and 2024, a total of 159 recorded earthquakes of 2.0 magnitude or greater occurred,
including a 5.2 Richter magnitude earthquake in the Magna area in 2020
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 224
FIGURE MA 65.2| EARTHQUAKES IN SALT LAKE COUTNY GREATER THAN 2.0 1962-2024
Source: Salt Lake County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
One hazard with earthquakes is liquefaction, which is when “loosely packed, water-logged sediments
at or near the ground surface lose their strength”. When this occurs, buildings, roads, or other
structures can be damaged. Figure MA-65.3 details the risk areas throughout the County.
FIGURE MA 65.3 | SALT LAKE COUTNY LIQUIFICATION POTENTIAL
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 225
Source: Salt Lake County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
The Mitigation Plan models a potential 6.2 Richter magnitude earthquake to understand the impact
to the area. The model estimates the total loss in the City at nearly $9.5 billion. Figure MA-65.4
shows the building loss estimate in the County.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 226
FIGURE MA 65.4 | MAGNITUDE 6.2 SHAKEMAP SCENARIO BUILDING LOSS ESTIMATION
Source: Salt Lake County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan
Although modern construction methods help to mitigate damage to buildings, the age of many
homes in the City poses potential risk for many individuals. Prior to the 1970s, unreinforced
masonry (URM) was a common method for building construction. According to the State, URM
buildings are a great hazard due to the likelihood of the brick walls collapsing, both inward and
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 227
outward. During the 1970s, the building codes in Utah were updated to prohibit the new buildings
from utilizing URM construction.
A total of 53,944 homes in the City were constructed prior to 1970, or 57.9% of the total housing
units in the City. Many of these homes are located in the southeast, northeast, or west side of the
City, many of the areas where high percentages of low- to moderate-income households reside. The
City’s Housing Stability Division operates a program called “Fix the Bricks” which provides funding for
homeowners to conduct a seismic retroflt of their home.
Flooding
The Salt Lake County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan identifles areas west of I-15 as a
potential fiood risk due to the Jordan River. In the plan, the area directly surrounding the Jordan
River State Parkway is listed as low- to moderate-risk with fiood risk increasing with
closer proximity to the river. The report identifles a low risk of fiooding on the west side of the
Rose Park neighborhood. These two fiood areas are noteworthy because they are areas with higher
concentrations of low- and moderate-income households.
The County estimates Salt Lake City would experience a total loss of $100,225,000 from a 100 -year
fiood and $399,620,000 from a 500-year fiood. Much of this loss comes from residential
construction. The fiood risk zone in either case runs through areas with high concentrations of low-
to moderate-income households.
Wildflre
Another area of risk within the City is the potential impact of wildflre. The City is located right along
the Wasatch Mountain range and also has open space around the Salt Lake International Airport,
both which provide opportunities for wildflre within the City. According to Figure MA-65.5 the areas
at highest risk for wildflre are along the eastern boundary of the City. These areas are among the
more affiuent areas of the City and so the risk to low- to moderate-income households is lower.
However, areas around the Jordan River, and the airport do include areas where low - to moderate-
income households are more concentrated.

Between 1999 and 2020, 21 wildflres occurred within the City’s boundaries, and most have been in
the high-risk areas of the City.

STRATEGIC
PLAN
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 231
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
SP-05 Overview
The 2025-2029 Strategic Plan is rooted in a comprehensive assessment of community needs, as
identified through this Consolidated Plan, City planning documents, and evaluations of how federal
funds can effectively address these needs. Within this framework, the plan focuses on creating
"Neighborhoods of Opportunity" to build capacity in low-income neighborhoods and provide robust
support for vulnerable populations.
The five-year strategy emphasizes leveraging and maximizing the City’s block grant allocations,
alongside other funding sources such as the City’s Redevelopment Agency, to foster healthy and
sustainable communities. These communities will prioritize connec tions and opportunities in
housing, education, transportation, behavioral health services, and economic development. Key
goals for Consolidated Plan funds include:
Housing
Goal: Protect tenants and increase housing stability, preserve existing affordable housing, and
produce more affordable housing.
Strategies:
•Enhance tenant resources and services to prevent displacement.
•Expand HUD’s Tenant-Based Rental Assistance programs to help seniors age in place.
•Invest in home rehabilitation and emergency repair programs to improve existing housing
stock.
•Acquire and rehabilitate naturally occurring affordable housing.
•Establish and support community land trusts to ensure long-term affordability.
•Provide incentives for the development of mixed-income, family-oriented, and accessible
housing.
•Promote affordable homeownership and wealth-building opportunities for low-income
families.
Homeless Services
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 232
Goal: Expand and enhance services and resources that prevent homelessness, increase access to
and availability of support services and case management for people experiencing and at risk of
homelessness, and prioritize resources and services for individuals experiencing unsheltered
homelessness.
Strategies:
•Increase rent assistance programs to stabilize housing.
•Develop a Relocation Assistance Fund for tenants facing displacement.
•Implement and enforce a Displaced Tenant Preference Policy.
•Fund legal aid programs for eviction prevention and criminal record expungement.
•Invest in wraparound services beyond shelters, including medical and dental care.
•Create a centralized database to facilitate collaboration among service providers and
expedite housing placements.
•Expand mobile homeless resources, such as health services and outreach programs.
•Support the development of non-congregate housing options, managed camping areas, and
accessible storage facilities.
Transportation
Goal: Make transit and active transportation competitive and attractive modes of travel, support
investments that will move toward a goal of zero traffic deaths and heal the east/west transportation
divide.
Strategies:
•Expand transit accessibility through programs like HivePass and provide free transit passes
for Salt Lake City School District students and their families.
•Fund sidewalk improvement programs and expand ADA-compliant curb cuts across
neighborhoods.
•Implement safety measures around schools, parks, and employment centers to enhance
pedestrian and cyclist safety.
•Improve roadway safety and transit connectivity by increasing bus stop shelters, route
frequency, and destination options.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 233
Community Services
Goal: Improve access and opportunity to relevant and dignified food choices, increase access to
high-quality and affordable childcare and out-of-school care, and improve access to technology
literacy.
Strategies:
•Support programs that offer affordable and relevant food choices to underserved
populations.
•Expand childcare programs focused on early childhood development and increasing
affordability and service capacity.
•Provide resources to help parents access affordable and reliable childcare.
•Develop and expand technology centers to enhance digital literacy.
•Implement broadband initiatives and increase free WiFi availability in public
spaces.
Business and Workforce Development
Goal: Job training and support services, small business support, and small local business façade
improvements.
Strategies:
•Prioritize job training programs, especially in trades, with apprenticeships and internships.
•Offer wraparound services such as childcare, English language learner (ELL) education, and
career counseling to support job seekers.
•Focus on training programs for youth and individuals experiencing homelessness, with
incentives for businesses to hire trained individuals.
•Expand small business support through grant programs, low-interest gap loans, and
simplified application processes, particularly targeting underserved communities.
•Subsidize lease programs for neighborhood-level small businesses and nonprofits.
•Broaden the scope of the façade improvement program to assist more businesses in
beautification efforts and ADA compliance. .
The City is committed to leveraging all potential funding resources to achieve these goals and has
established specific measurement criteria to track progress. Key performance indicators (KPIs) may
include:
•Number of affordable housing units preserved or constructed.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 234
•Reduction in the number of unsheltered homeless individuals.
•Increase in transit ridership and accessibility improvements.
•Expansion of childcare program availability and participation.
•Growth in participation in workforce development programs and small business initiatives.
By regularly assessing these metrics, the City will ensure accountability and adjust strategies to meet
evolving community needs effectively.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 235
SP-10: Geographic Priorities | 24 CFR 91.215(a)(1)
Geographic Areas
For the 2025-2029 program years, Salt Lake City has designated a local CDBG (Community
Development Block Grant) target area to concentrate and leverage funding for comprehensive
neighborhood revitalization. The focus is on expanding housing opportunities, stimulating economic
growth, and enhancing neighborhood livability. This designated area corresponds with the City’s
existing Redevelopment Agency (RDA) project areas. If the RDA project areas change during this
period, the CDBG target area will adjust accordingly.
The selected target area is based on several key factors:
1.Overlap with Lower-Income Areas:
o RDA areas align with neighborhoods that have lower Opportunity Index scores,
refiecting economic, health, educational, and environmental disparities.
2.Tax Increment Financing:
o These areas generate tax increment funds, some of which are designated for
housing and infrastructure improvements. As development occurs, additional funds
can be leveraged to enhance community amenities.
3.Blight Findings:
o Many RDA areas have documented conditions of blight, such as deteriorated
infrastructure and poor visual appearance. Investments aim to address these issues
and promote economic growth.
4.Opportunity Zones:
o Overlapping federal Opportunity Zones encourage private investments through tax
incentives, further bolstering revitalization efforts.

Redwood Road. It then continues east to West Temple. From
there, the boundary continues south to 400 S. The boundary then
continues west on 400 South until it reaches I-15 where it follows
that border until 900 South. At 900 S, it travels east until State
Street. The boundary travels south along State Street until 1300 S.
It then travels east along 1300 South until 300 East. The boundary
travels east on 300 East until it ends at the intersection of 2100
South and 300 East.
Include speciflc housing and
commercial characteristics of
this area
The area is approximately 46% owner occupied, and 54% renter
occupied.
The neighborhood poverty rate as determined by the ACS
information within Census Tracts within the area ranges from 7
to 33%. The tracts average a poverty level of 18% compared to
13.4% in Salt Lake City.
43% of the area’s residents identify as minority, compared to
34.8% 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 500 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.
30.5% of the existing housing units were built prior to 1960.
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
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 238
1 Area Name CDBG Target Area
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 flrst language.
High renter levels often make for a more transitory population
with less investment in the community.
GENERAL ALLOCATION PRIORITIES
Local target areas enable Salt Lake City to maximize the impact of HUD funding by aligning
investments with neighborhoods exhibiting the most severe needs. The 2025 -2029 CDBG target area
has been identifled through an extensive analysis of poverty rates, income levels, citizen input, and
neighborhood conditions.
Federal funding will be concentrated in the West Side Target Area to:
•Stabilize and revitalize distressed neighborhoods.
•Improve connectivity and reduce transportation costs for residents.
•Enhance commercial nodes with façade improvements and infrastructure upgrades.
•Support housing rehabilitation and mixed-income development.
Annual reviews by City departments, including the RDA, Transportation, and Economic
Development, will identify speciflc areas within the target zone requiring additional resources.
Strategies will include increased marketing for housing programs, transit enhancements, and
commercial improvements.

FIGURE SP 10.2 | RDA PROJECT AREA
Source: Salt Lake City Redevelopment Agency
The Target Area was identifled through an extensive process that analyzed local poverty rates, low -
and moderate-income rates, neighborhood conditions, citizen input, and available resources.
Targeting area resources are necessary to expand opportunity for the West Side Target Area as well
as the impacted RDA Project Areas. The following are 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 flnancial burdens on households. Many important
employers are located near or in the West Side Target Area.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 240
•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 micro-enterprises and for-proflt businesses can be offered to qualifled business
across the City, however, additional focus and marketing efforts will occur within the target
area.
To expand community engagement in the local target area, the City’s Housing Stability Division (HSD)
will reach out to residents, business owners, property owners, community councils, non -proflt
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. HSD and the Department of Economic Development (DED) collaborate to maintain an

RATIONALE FOR THE PRIORITIES FOR ALLOCATING INVESTMENTS GEOGRAPHICALLY
Salt Lake City’s Housing Stability Division, along with internal and community stakeholders, identifled
the target area through an extensive process that included data analysis, identiflcation of
opportunities/barriers, a citizen survey, and an evaluation of potential resources. Through this
process, the RDA neighborhoods were identifled as areas where a concentration of resources would
make signiflcant impacts within the community. This approach would also allow for ongoing
leveraging of resources and efforts in these areas.
Of particular importance is directing resources to expand opportunity within areas where poverty
levels are 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 signiflcant
physical health improvements from reducing concentrated areas of poverty.
A recent analysis (September 2023) completed by the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute at the
University of Utah states that there is a housing shortage in Utah, with the shortage increasing to
over 37,000 by the end of 2024. There has also been increasing challenges with home affordability,
with the analysis concluding that in Quarter 2 2023, the median income could only afford 21% of the
homes sold in the Salt Lake City Metropolitan Area. While there has been a slight correction of
higher housing prices, the report concludes that those households below the median income, and
particularly renter households, are disproportionately hurt by higher housing prices. In fact, only
15% of renter households have sufficient income to purchase a modestly priced $300,000 to
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 241
$400,000 home. Many households within the West Side Target Area are among the highest in the
City experiencing cost-burdens or lower income levels.
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 signiflcant. Only 46 geographic areas in Utah have been designated
as opportunity zones by the federal government, making these highly attractive sites. Seven of these
sites are within Salt Lake City. 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 .
Salt Lake City intends to expand opportunity within the target areas to limit intergenerational
poverty, increase access to community assets, facilitate upward mobility, and provide safe,
affordable housing.

Basis for
Relative
Priority
•According to the 2022 ACS data, 45.4% of Salt Lake City renter households
and 20.2% of households with a mortgage are cost-burdened, spending
over 30% of their monthly income on housing costs. 36.1% of renter
households spend 35% or more of their monthly income on housing.
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 and Housing Connect currently
administer Housing Choice (Section 8) vouchers for nearly 5,000
households, with 13,801 households on the waiting list. There are an
additional 2,396 families on the Public Housing waiting list. A family on
the waiting list can expect to wait between 1-4 years before receiving a
Housing Choice voucher. Between 2012 and 2022, the cost of housing
increased signiflcantly for both renters and homeowners. The median
contract rent increased by 64.7% and home values increased 92.9%.
During the same period, the median household income for renters
increased by 76.3%. median household incomes for homeowners only
increased by 54.8%. Since incomes are struggling to 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 48.4% in
2018 to 47.0% in 2022.

SP-30 INFLUENCES OF MARKET CONDITIONS | 24 CFR
91.215 (a)(2)
Describe the rationale for establishing the allocation priorities given to each
category of priority needs, particularly among extremely low-income, low-income,
and moderate-income households; Market Characteristics that will infiuence the use
of funds available for housing type:
Salt Lake City’s allocation priorities are infiuenced by a combination of market conditions, housing
needs, and economic trends. These priorities aim to address critical gaps, particularly for extremely
low-income, low-income, and moderate-income households. Of the 81,678 households included in
the assessment, 30.4% (approximately 24,830 households) are cost -burdened, spending 30% or
more of their income on housing, including utilities. Furthermore, 14% (11,640 households) are
severely cost-burdened, spending over 50% of their income on housing and at signiflcant risk of
homelessness.
Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA)
Rising Costs: Between 2012 and 2022, median contract rents in Salt Lake City increased by 64.7%,
while renter household incomes grew by 76.3%. Despite income growth outpacing rent increases,
infiationary pressures on other expenses continue to strain renter budgets.
Vacancy and Rent Projections: According to CBRE’s Real Estate Market Outlook 2025, vacancy rates
are projected to remain low at 4.9%, with an annual rent growth of 2.6%, further exacerbating
housing affordability challenges. Salt Lake City average monthly rents have increased from an
average of $938 per month in 2018 to $1,254 in 2022.
Demand for Vouchers: The demand for Housing Choice Vouchers has surged, with a waiting list of
approximately 13,801 households.
TBRA for Non-Homeless Special Needs
Transition Needs: Funds are needed to transition participants from HOPWA-funded housing to
other affordable housing options closer to transportation and essential services.
Collaborative Partnerships: Strengthening partnerships between affordable housing landlords,
property managers, and social service organizations is essential to meet the needs of non -homeless
special needs populations.
New Unit Production
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 249
Supply and Demand: CBRE’s Salt Lake City Multifamily Q3 2024 report indicates that 2,793
multifamily units were absorbed in 2024, with projected deliveries of only 5,729 units for 2025 and
2026 combined. This limited supply is likely to drive rent growth.
Rising Costs: Factors such as labor shortages, increased construction costs, and rising land prices
contribute to higher rental rates, impacting affordability for local residents.
Market Pressures: Many new units are being absorbed by renters from more expensive markets,
leading to affordability challenges for long-term residents.
Rehabilitation
Aging Housing Stock: Approximately 38.3% of Salt Lake City’s housing units were built before 1960,
with many located in concentrated areas of poverty or RDA project zones. These older units are at
risk of deterioration without signiflcant rehabilitation efforts.
Rising Interest Rates: With national mortgage rates averaging 7.02%, flnancing for homeownership
or home improvement is becoming less accessible for low-income households.
Preservation Needs: Stabilizing existing affordable housing is critical to prevent displacement due
to revitalization efforts that may convert units to market-rate rents.
Acquisition, Including Preservation
Market Dynamics: Salt Lake City’s position as a Tier 2 market attracts signiflcant investor interest,
keeping CAP rates low and indicating confldence in the multifamily market.
Affordable Housing Risks: The strong rental market incentivizes property owners to convert
substandard rentals into market-rate units, heightening the need for strategies to preserve existing
affordable housing stock.

INTRODUCTION
For the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan period, Salt Lake City anticipates receiving a total of
$23,702,528 in federal funding through the CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA programs, averaging
$5,925,632 annually. Additionally, the City expects $6 million in program income over the same
period, averaging $1.5 million annually. These funds will address the City’s growing housing and
community development needs, with a focus on assisting vulnerable populations, increasing self -
sufficiency, and improving conditions in designated target areas. Despite these resources, declining
federal funding over the past decade has posed challenges in addressing community needs and
overcoming barriers effectively.

EXPLAIN HOW FEDERAL FUNDS WILL LEVERAGE THOSE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
(PRIVATE, STATE, AND LOCAL FUNDS), INCLUDING A DESCRIPTION OF HOW MATCHING
REQUIREMENTS WILL BE SATISFIED:
Match Requirements
Federal funds will be strategically combined with local, state, and private resources to maximize
their impact. By leveraging these resources, Salt Lake City will achieve economies of scale, expand
project scope, and ensure compliance with HUD’s matching requirements.
•HOME Investment Partnership Program – 25% Match Requirement
•Salt Lake City meets the requirement through below -market interest rate loans,
impact fee waivers, and other flnancial incentives for affordable housing projects
targeting households under 60% AMI
•Emergency Solutions Grant – 100% Match Requirement
•The City relies on its sub-grantees to fulflll the match requirement using private
donations, in-kind contributions, United Way funding, and state grants.
Fund Leveraging,
Leverage, in the context of the City’s four HUD programs, is achieved by combining federal funds
with additional local, state, and private resources to maximize their impact and ensure compliance
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 253
with matching requirements. The City effectively mobilizes these resources to address affordable
housing needs and promote economic stability. Key leveraged resources include, but are not limited
to:
•Housing Choice Section 8 Vouchers
The Housing Authority of Salt Lake City and Housing Connect administer Housing Choice
(Section 8) vouchers, which provide essential rental assistance to low -income families. Many
of the clients receiving assistance though other HUD funded programs, are utilizing this
housing assistance to stabilize and maintain housing. This federal support is further
complemented by local resources, such as case management and housing support services
funded through the City’s general fund and philanthropic partners, fulfllling matching
requirements.
•
• Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC)
The LIHTC program is a cornerstone of the City’s leveraging strategy. In 2024, the City
supported nine active tax credit projects, utilizing $8,369,762 in competitive federal and state
housing tax credits and $3,125,000 in standalone State of Utah tax credits. These federal and
state funds attracted signiflcant private equity investments, reducing reliance on debt
flnancing for developers and enabling the construction and rehabilitation of affordable
housing. Federal credits also fulflll matching requirements by incentivizing long-term private
investment.
•New Market Tax Credits (NMTCs)
NMTCs play a vital role in leveraging private capital to revitalize underserved areas. Federal
NMTC allocations complement state and local investments by supporting job creation and
infrastructure improvements, ensuring community development goals align with housing
priorities.
•Redevelopment Agency (RDA) Development Funding
The RDA has thirteen project areas where tax increment funds are reinvested back into the
same area to contribute to the overall health and vitality of the City, by reversing the
negative effects of blight, while increasing the tax base from which the taxing entities draw
their funds.
•Salt Lake City Economic Development Loan Fund (EDLF)
This fund fosters economic growth by providing loans to small businesses. In 2023 -2024
flscal year, EDLF provided flve new loans to small businesses, leveraging over $1 million in
funds, stimulating neighborhood revitalization, indirectly supporting housing by
strengthening economic conditions in low-income areas.
•Salt Lake City General Fund
The City allocated $3 million in 2023 for affordable housing from the general fund, ensuring
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 254
robust matching for federal funding and reinforcing the City’s commitment to housing
stability.
•The Olene Walker Housing Loan Fund (OWHLF)
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. In 2024, the fund
supported 37 multi-family units in Salt Lake County allocating over $7,189,406 in funds.
•Continuum of Care Funding
The Salt Lake Valley Coalition to End Homelessness leverages ESG funds, combining it with
local and state contributions to support housing and services for individuals experiencing
homelessness. Matching is achieved through in-kind services and philanthropic donations.
•Foundations & Other Philanthropic Partners
Philanthropic contributions are critical in leveraging federal dollars. These funds provide
fiexibility to address gaps not covered by federal and state programs, enabling the City to
meet matching requirements while extending the reach of its HUD programs.
By strategically aligning federal funds with these additional resources, the City of Salt Lake
maximizes the impact of its HUD programs, ensures compliance with matching requirements, and
advances its affordable housing and community development goals.
IF APPROPRIATE, DESCRIBE PUBLICLY OWNED LAND OR PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN

ASSESS STRENGTHS AND GAPS IN THE INSTITUTIONAL DELIVERY SYSTEM
Community needs are efficiently and effectively 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
emphasizes 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
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 265
held to manage service delivery for individuals and families that have multiple complex problems
that require comprehensive services from more than one organization. Coordination meetings are
also utilized to streamline services and prevent the duplication of efforts.
A signiflcant institutional delivery barrier is that flnancial resources limit the number 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 se rvices to utilize funding resources more
effectively.

Salt Lake City's Community Development and Capital Improvement Program oversees the
operations of 4th Street Clinic. 4th Street Clinic 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 and discounted 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) Legacy Health. Today, a two -fold
approach of direct client services and targeted prevention education still comprises the basis for all
UAF Legacy Health programming. UAF Legacy Health works to ensure that those diagnosed with
HIV/AIDS are connected to medical case management, housing case management, employment
opportunities, and other services.

Valley Behavioral Health offers comprehensive services to all residents of Salt Lake County, including
those experiencing homelessness, who are dealing with serious mental illnesses, substance use
disorders, and behavioral issues. They manage Safe Havens I and II, as well as Valley Storefronts I
and II.
•Safe Haven I provides 25 transitional housing units for clients with serious mental illness and
a history of chronic homelessness. Residents receive support in areas such as apartment
living, home maintenance, medication and beneflts management, skills development,
socialization, therapy, and peer support. This transitional housing helps residents maintain
their homelessness status, ensuring eligibility for permanent housing.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 267
•Safe Haven II offers 24 permanent supportive housing units for clients with similar needs.
Services include apartment living support, home maintenance skills, medication and beneflts
management, skills development, socialization, therapy, and peer support.
•Both locations feature Valley Storefronts, an outpatient program providing daily services and
case management to unsheltered individuals with serious mental illness, who may also have
substance use disorders. Storefront serves as an entry point into treatm ent for those
hesitant to engage with traditional mental health services. Additionally, Storefront includes a
Homeless Outreach Team that connects individuals in the community to necessary services.
The State of Utah’s Department of Workforce Services operates an employment center at the
Weigand Day Center, providing a convenient location for those using services on Rio Grande or
dining at St. Vincent DePaul’s Dining Hall to connect with employment opportunities without
needing to travel. The Weigand Resource Center offers a range of resources, including a computer
lab for job searches and beneflt programs, resume and job application assistance, and a clothing
room available on Tuesdays and Fridays from 7:15-10:15 am. Additionally, the center has
partnerships to provide housing placement, beneflt enrollment, and medical services.
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
three residential treatment facilities, one outpatient treatment center, two permanent supportive
housing complexes, and flve transitional housing buildings in Salt Lake County. The scope of services
includes substance use disorder, criminogenic, and mental health assessment and referral,
residential and outpatient treatment, recovery residence services, transitional and permanent
supportive housing, case management, employment support, primary health care, peer support
services, and long-term recovery management.
Notably, First Step’s Valor House provides transitional housing and supportive services for Veterans
experiencing homelessness. Located on the Salt Lake City VA Campus, it offers 72 single -room
occupancy micro-apartments with private baths and shared amenities. The program includes case
management, clinical services, medication management, employment support, and recovery -
supportive recreational activities to help Veterans transition into permanent housing and achieve
long-term stability.
Odyssey House of Utah offers addiction recovery services through both in -patient and out-patient
programs for adults, teens over 14, and patients with children. The Martindale Clinic, connected to
Odyssey House, provides a range of recovery -focused medical services, including routine and
preventative care, comprehensive medication management, and specialized Hepatitis C treatment.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 268
The clinic also offers trauma-informed mental health services, Vivitrol injections for cravings, and
STD testing and contraception services, emphasizing overall health and well -being.
Volunteers of America in Salt Lake City provides a range of services to support vulnerable
populations. Their Treatment Services include Cornerstone Counseling, which offers mental health
and addiction treatment, and Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) for intensive, community-based
care. Adult Homeless Services feature the Geraldine E. King Women's Resource Center, providing
emergency shelter and essential services to women experiencing homelessness, and various
outreach teams (Homeless Outreach, City Outreach, and Library Engagement) that connect
unsheltered individuals to resources. Additionally, the Men's Detoxiflcation program at Recovery on
Redwood offers a safe, supportive environment for men to manage withdrawal and begin their
recovery journey. The Center for Women and Children provides a social model detoxiflcation facility
where women can stay for up to 30 days, receiving comprehensive support including case
management, medication-assisted treatment, and the option for children to stay with them.
DESCRIBE THE STRENGTHS AND GAPS OF THE SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR SPECIAL NEEDS
POPULATION AND PERSONS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
TO, THE SERVICES LISTED ABOVE.
Homeless services organizations within the Salt Lake City Continuum of Care works diligently to
coordinate services and place people in housing. The service delivery system for special needs
populations and persons experiencing homelessness in these CoC’s demonstrates several strengths
and gaps.
Key strengths include a comprehensive range of services, such as mental health and addiction
treatment, transitional and permanent supportive housing, and medical care, provided by programs
like Cornerstone Counseling and Assertive Community Treatment (ACT ). 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.
However, the service delivery system faces challenges, such as high demand for services compared
to available resources, leading to long wait times and limited access. Stakeholders have expressed
concern about large case management loads hindering effective service delivery and requiring
service reduction for better coordination. While the Salt Lake Continuum of Care uses the
Vulnerability Index – Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool (VI-SPDAT) to assess the
vulnerability and needs of individuals experiencing homelessness and prioritize them for housing
and services, concerns about its effectiveness and potential biases have been raised. Addressing
these gaps in resource availability, case management, and assessment tools will enhance the
system's effectiveness in supporting special needs populations and persons experiencing
homelessness.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 269
PROVIDE A SUMMARY OF THE STRATEGY FOR OVERCOMING GAPS IN THE
INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE AND SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR CARRYING OUT A
STRATEGY TO ADDRESS PRIORITY NEEDS.

SP-55: STRATEGIC PLAN BARRIERS TO AFFORDABLE | 24 CFR
HOUSING 91.215(h)
Section MA-40 highlights key public policy barriers affecting the development and preservation of
affordable housing in Salt Lake City. This section expands on these issues, offering detailed insights
into the economic, regulatory, and social factors that constrain housing affordability and
availability.
Economic Conditions
•Since 2018, incomes in the Salt Lake Valley have risen; however, they lag the sharp increases
in construction costs and housing values. This growing disparity has widened the gap
between what residents earn and what they can afford for housing.
•Infiationary pressures have strained household incomes, leaving less space for increasing
housing costs.
•Select neighborhoods in Salt Lake City spend signiflcantly more on transportation costs than
others. This results in less income being available for housing.
Land Regulations and Permitting Process
Salt Lake City’s Zoning Ordinance outlines critical development standards, such as minimum lot size,
density, unit size, building height, setbacks, and parking requirements. While these regulations
ensure orderly urban growth, they often hinder affordable housing development by:
•Limiting density in key areas.
•Failing to allocate sufficient zoning for multifamily housing.
•Imposing stringent parking requirements that increase development costs.
Streamlining the permitting process and revising these regulations could signiflcantly enhance the
feasibility of affordable housing projects.
•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 proflts for developers, thereby discouraging development and/or encouraging
development of higher-margin products (i.e., market-rate units).
Land Costs
•High land costs in many areas, particularly in neighborhoods experiencing rapid growth and
new construction, make it challenging to achieve flnancial viability for lower -income housing
developments. This issue often conflnes affordable housing projects to less desirable
locations, perpetuating geographic inequities.
•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 inco me being spent
on transportation. Ultimately, these developments further exacerbate traffic issues.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 276
Construction Costs
•Recent fiuctuations in construction costs, particularly labor expenses, have exerted upward
pressure on rents and constrained developers’ ability to produce affordable housing. These
challenges are compounded by material shortages and supply chain disrupti ons, further
narrowing proflt margins
•Material costs and supply chain pressures have created challenges for some projects
because of the global pandemic.
•Rehabilitation of existing products 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 proflt for undertaking such renovation. This limits
the desire to undertake such endeavors unless incentives can be provided.
Development and Rehabilitation Financing
•The layered flnancing structures often required for affordable housing projects can result in
higher land-holding costs due to extended due diligence processes and prolonged timelines.
Simplifying these structures and expediting approvals could mitigate su ch challenges. .
•High interest rates increase costs for developers and make situations where obtaining
funding for projects is difficult.
•There is strong competition for local funding tools, such as the State of Utah’s Olene Walker
Housing Loan Fund.
Neighborhood Market Conditions
•Community opposition, often referred to as “Not In My Backyard” (NIMBYism), poses a
signiflcant barrier to affordable housing development. Efforts to counteract this resistance
should focus on public education campaigns, stakeholder engagement, and communi ty
beneflts agreements to foster broader acceptance of affordable housing initiatives.
•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 Housing Salt Lake City: A Five-Year Housing Plan (2023–2027) outlines actionable goals to
address housing barriers, including:
•Goal 1: Close the 5,500-unit gap for deeply affordable housing while increasing supply at all
affordability levels.
•Goal 2: Enhance housing stability by mitigating displacement, expanding renter support, and
promoting geographic equity.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 277
•Goal 3: Foster homeownership opportunities, targeting 1,000 low -income households.
These goals will be pursued through a combination of regulatory reforms, funding programs, and
partnerships with community organizations
Other strategies employed by the City include the following:
Homeless Strategies
Salt Lake City collaborates with local service providers, municipalities, the State of Utah, Continuum
of Care, and other partners through the Salt Lake Valley Coalition to End Homelessness. This
partnership focuses on creating a coordinated system for resource allocation, service delivery, data
collection, and analysis to streamline efforts across all stakeholders. In recent years, signiflcant
progress has been made to reduce homelessness through the development of affordable housing
and enhanced support services.
Housing SLC: A Five-Year Plan 2023-2027
The City has adopted the Housing SLC: A Five-Year Plan to address barriers to affordable housing
and strengthen regional partnerships in tackling the current housing crisis. The plan emphasizes:
•Collaboration: Partnering with innovative market-rate developers, nonproflt organizations,
mission-driven developers, flnancial institutions, and community groups.
•Needs Assessment: Providing a detailed analysis of citywide housing requirements, including
affordability, shifting demographics, and neighborhood-speciflc challenges.
•Policy Guidance: Establishing a flve-year roadmap to address housing needs across all
income levels and demographics.
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 flxed 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 period of the 2025-2029 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’s Community Land Trust ensures long-term affordability by holding donated or trusted
land in perpetuity. Homeowners can purchase, own, and sell structures on CLT land while
maintaining affordability for future income-qualifled buyers. The City’s Thriving in Place anti-
displacement strategy (adopted October 2023) aims to expand the CLT, particularly to support
community-owned and shared-equity housing.
Community Shared Equity Program
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 278
The SLC Community Shared Equity Program provides low- to moderate-income families with the
opportunity to become homeowners. It will help stabilize communities, provide incentives for
neighborhood investments, and allow families to build wealth.
Leverage Public Land
The City promotes affordable housing development by leveraging public land resources. Proposed
tools include:
•Developing affordable housing on publicly owned land.
•Using proceeds from public land development to fund affordable housing projects.
•Prioritizing affordable housing when disposing of public land.
Impact Fee Exemption
The City’s recently completed Housing SLC: A Five-Year Housing Plan, 2023-2027 recommends that
impact fees could 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 speciflc level of
affordability.
Funding Our Future
In 2018, the City Council approved a 0.5% sales tax increase to address housing, transportation,
infrastructure, and public safety needs. This tax generates approximately $2 million annually, which
supports:
•Affordable housing development efforts.
•Funding for housing programs targeting vulnerable populations.
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. In the past six
flscal years, the RDA has helped fund nearly 2,000 affordable units. Approximately $2.7 million
remains to address these needs.
Funding Targeting
The Housing and Neighborhoods Division continues to reflne funding strategies, focusing on:
•Coordinating local funding sources (e.g., Olene Walker Housing Loan Fund, SLC Housing
Trust Fund).
•Prioritizing low-interest loans for affordable housing units targeting lower AMI households.
•Enhancing partnerships with county and state programs.
Policies & Strategies
Based on the goals and strategies of the Housing SLC: 2023-2027 plan, Salt Lake City will work to
remove or ameliorate public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing through the

Salt Lake City is committed to addressing systemic barriers to affordable housing through bold
policies, strategic investments, and inclusive partnerships. By implementing these initiatives, the City
aims to ensure housing equity and stability for all residents while promoting sustainable urban
growth.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 282
SP-60: HOMELESS STRATEGY | 24 CFR 91.215(h)
REACHING OUT TO HOMELESS PERSONS (ESPECIALLY UNSHELTERED PERSONS) AND
ASSESSING THEIR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS.
Salt Lake City prioritizes targeted outreach to unsheltered individuals and other homeless
populations through its Homeless Engagement and Response Team (HEART). In 2023, the City
allocated over $15 million to maintain safe public spaces and fund permanent supportive housing
units. The City’s primary goal is to transition individuals and families from homelessness to stable,
permanent housing while continuing to provide immediate, collaborative services for those in
crisis.
Salt Lake City recognizes that homelessness affects diverse populations, including chronically
homeless individuals, veterans, families, women with children, youth, and those experiencing
homelessness by choice. To address their unique needs, the City uses a four-stage framework:
1.Prevention: Providing affordable housing and employment to prevent homelessness.
2.Crisis Response: Addressing immediate needs such as lockers, showers, and meals.
3.Transition: Supporting individuals in securing housing and employment.
4.Stability: Preventing recurrence through supportive housing services.
Considering these stages for each group ensures a more effective response to homelessness.
Personalized one-on-one outreach to homeless individuals providing information about the speciflc
services that individual needs (e.g., housing, mental 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; 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 homeless services area of the City. This is a “joint effort of officers and social workers in
the Salt Lake City Police Department.” 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. Within the CCC, three teams work collaboratively to provide services to this
vulnerable population: Community Connection Team (social work ers), Homeless Outreach Service
Team (HOST), and Crisis Intervention Team (CIT officers). The CCC has been successful in fllling the
need for additional homeless outreach and case management services in the City.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 283
ADDRESSING THE EMERGENCY SHELTER AND TRANSITIONAL HOUSING NEEDS OF
HOMELESS PERSONS.
In February 2023, the State of Utah released the "Statewide Collaboration for Change: Utah’s Plan to
Address Homelessness." The plan, led by the Utah Homelessness Council, envisions a future where
homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring. Key goals include expanding affordable and
permanent housing using the Housing First model, which prioritizes stable housing as a foundation
for accessing services and pursuing 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 w orking
towards new solutions in these areas as outlined in the City’s newly-adopted housing plan, Housing
SLC.
Daytime services remain critical for individuals experiencing homelessness, including access to
bathrooms, laundry facilities, safe storage, mail services, and indoor spaces. Salt Lake City addresses
these needs through shelters, day service programs, and a free storage initiative. The Gail Miller
Resource Center and Geraldine E. King Resource Center provide emergency shelter alongside
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.
In October 2023, Salt Lake City and the State of Utah announced plans for a temporary micro shelter
to begin operations in the City. It was designed to house 50 people, with heating and air, privacy,
and electricity. The pilot program ended at its initial location in July 2024 but reopened in September
2024 at a property owned by the State.
Moving forward, Salt Lake City will aim to assist homeless persons make the transition to permanent
housing, including shortening the period 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 homeless again.
The City plays an important role by providing strategic funding for the valuable efforts undertaken
by other stakeholders and, at times, fllling 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, Housing 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. These efforts
include the goal to close a gap of 5,500 units of deeply affordable housing.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 284
Assisting the City in its efforts is 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 they move 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 INDIVIDUALS 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.
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 they move forward.
The City’s recently completed Housing Salt Lake City: A Five-Year Housing Plan 2023-2027 provides
the following goals to remove barriers to affordable housing:
Goal 1: Make progress toward closing the housing gap of 5,500 units of deeply affordable
housing and increase the supply of housing at all levels of affordability
•Includes entitling a minimum of 2,000 deeply affordable units (30% AMI or below) and a
minimum of 2,000 affordable units (31% - 80% AMI)
Goal 2: Increase housing stability throughout the City
•Includes dedicating targeted funding towards mitigating displacement, serving renter
households, serving family households, increasing geographic equity, and increasing
physical accessibility
Goal 3: Increase opportunities for homeownership and other wealth and equity building
opportunities
•Includes providing opportunities to a minimum of 1,000 low-income households
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 285
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 HEALTH 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
In 2018, Salt Lake City’s Funding Our Future initiative introduced a 0.5% sales tax increase to create a
dedicated funding stream for critical needs, including affordable housing. This program generates
approximately $2 million annually to support low-income individuals and families in accessing stable
housing. Through this mechanism, it was anticipated that over $2m of funding will be available
each year to support low-income individuals and families access affordable housing. Local
nonproflts are eligible to receive grant funding in one of the following categories:
•House 20
•Incentivized Rent Assistance
•Landlord Insurance Assurance
•Landlord/Tenant Mediation
•Marketing Home Ownership
•Mortgage Assistance
•Service Models for the Most Vulnerable
•Shared Housing
Among other needs, funds can be used to identify and support households that are at risk of losing
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
deflnition of homeless, or that are in a judicial process in which mitigation and resolution is possible.
In 2023, funding went to support the following housing efforts:
•Volunteers of America – Intensive Case Management Program
•Community Development Corporation of Utah – Down Payment Assistance Program
•The Road Home – House 20, Shared Housing Program, and Landlord Assurance Program
•International Rescue Committee – Emergency Rental Assistance Housing Stabilization
Program
•Asian Association of Utah – Rental Assistance for Vulnerable Populations, Home Ownership
Program, and Housing & Mortgage Stability Program
•YWCA Utah – Survivor Driven Housing and Transitional Housing
•First Step House – Incentivized Rental Assistance Program and Service Models for Vulnerable
Populations Program
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 286
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 families 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 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 they move forward.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 287
SP-65: LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARDS | 24 CFR 91.215(i)
A signiflcant portion of Salt Lake City’s housing stock predates 1978, increasing the risk of lead -based
paint hazards. To address this, the City has developed a comprehensive plan for identifying and
mitigating lead hazards in residential rehabilitation projects. The Housing Rehabilitation Program
adheres to HUD regulations for lead hazard identiflcation and treatment. During the 2023 –2024
program year, Salt Lake City collaborated with state and county partners to educate the public about
lead-based paint hazards through the following actions:
•Training staff as certifled Lead Risk Assessors and Inspectors.
•Conducting outreach via direct mail, the Salt Lake City website, community events, and local
council meetings.
•Providing Spanish-language materials to raise awareness among minority communities.
•Partnering with Salt Lake County’s Lead Safe Salt Lake program to address lead hazards in
homes where children have elevated blood-lead levels.
•Highlighting lead hazard risks during initial homeowner consultations for rehabilitation
projects.
•Encouraging local contractors to obtain lead safety certiflcations for their employees and
subcontractors.
•
HOW ARE THE ACTIONS LISTED ABOVE RELATED TO THE EXTENT OF LEAD POISONING
AND HAZARDS?
Over the past flve years, Salt Lake City has signiflcantly increased the number of children tested for
elevated blood-lead levels, thanks to advancements in testing technology. These efforts have
improved the City’s ability to identify hazardous environments and protect affe cted families. Despite
the action level for blood-lead levels being reduced from 10 mcg/dl to 5 mcg/dl, the percentage of
children testing positive remains below 1%. The City aims to maintain these low levels through
ongoing rehabilitation and outreach initiatives to ensure safe living conditions for all residents.
HOW ARE THE ACTIONS LISTED ABOVE INTEGRATED INTO HOUSING POLICIES AND
PROCEDURES?
Lead abatement in Salt Lake City’s aging housing stock is a critical component of addressing fair
housing barriers for low-income families with children. The Housing Rehabilitation Program, along
with other federally funded housing initiatives, prioritizes the use of safe work practices to identify
and mitigate lead-based paint hazards effectively.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 288
SP-70: ANTI-POVERTY STRATEGY | 24 CFR 91.215(j)
JURISDICTION GOALS, PROGRAMS, AND POLICIES FOR REDUCING THE NUMBER OF
POVERTY-LEVEL FAMILIES
Salt Lake City, like many urban areas, faces rising income inequality, with many residents struggling
to maintain an adequate standard of living amid surging costs for housing, transportation, and
healthcare. To reduce poverty and prevent more households from falling into it, the City employs a
multi-pronged strategy focused on capacity building, resource expansion, and displacement
prevention.
The City’s strategy includes:
•Identifying opportunities to build capacity, prevent displacement, and expand resources in
alignment with large-scale community investments.
•Supporting vulnerable populations, including the chronically homeless, individuals with
behavioral health challenges, persons with HIV/AIDS, people with disabilities, and low-
income elderly residents.
Salt Lake City’s anti-poverty strategy seeks to address socioeconomic disparities by:
•Improving housing affordability and stabilizing at-risk households.
•Deploying anti-displacement strategies to protect vulnerable residents.
•Enhancing employment skills for at-risk adults.
•Increasing access to public transit and behavioral health services.
•Expanding housing opportunities and supportive services for vulnerable populations.
Federal entitlement funds allocated through this Consolidated Plan will support key components of
Salt Lake City’s anti-poverty strategy:
•Job and vocational training for vulnerable populations.
•Essential supportive services to address behavioral and economic needs.
•Housing rehabilitation programs for low-income homeowners.
•Expansion of affordable housing opportunities.
•Neighborhood and commercial infrastructure improvements in target areas.
•Multi-modal transportation amenities and increased public transit access for vulnerable
populations.
HOW ARE THE JURISDICTION’S POVERTY REDUCING GOALS, PROGRAMS, AND POLICIES
COORDINATED WITH THIS AFFORDABLE HOUSING PLAN:
Salt Lake City integrates anti-poverty initiatives with its broader housing strategies to provide a
comprehensive response to poverty. Key programs supporting these efforts include:
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 289
•Housing SLC: A Five-Year Housing Plan (2023–2027): Expanding affordable housing supply
and access.
•Affordable Housing Rehabilitation and Development: Improving housing quality for low -
income families.
•Rental Assistance Programs: Preventing displacement and ensuring housing stability.
•Direct Financial Assistance Programs: Providing immediate flnancial relief to vulnerable
households.
•Economic Development Loan Fund: Supporting job creation and economic growth in low -
income areas.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 290
SP-80: MONITORING | 24 CFR 91.230
DESCRIBE THE STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES THAT THE JURISDICTION WILL USE TO
MONITOR ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT IN FURTHERANCE OF THE PLAN AND WILL USE TO
ENSURE LONG-TERM COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS OF THE PROGRAMS
INVOLVED, INCLUDING MINORITY BUSINESS OUTREACH AND THE COMPREHENSIVE
PLANNING REQUIREMENTS.
The Housing Stability Division (HSD) initiates monitoring at the application stage. Each application
undergoes a rigorous review, including risk analysis, to conflrm alignment with the Consolidated
Plan's goals and compliance with federal objectives.
After approval by the City Council, contracts are drafted to deflne the scope of work, budgets, and
compliance requirements. These contracts outline all federal and local regulations governing the
grants. Once fully executed contracts are in place, HSD’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.
Funded agencies must attend a mandatory grant training seminar, where HSD staff provide
guidance on federal regulations, updates for the grant year, and performance expectations. The City
requires that at least one attendee from each agency come to the tra ining. Each person attending
the training seminar receives a handbook that contains essential information including contacts,
website links, timelines, and a list of documents that are required to be submitted to the City
annually. Agencies that were unable to attend do have the ability to receive training documents if
they contact the City.
The City manages CDBG, ESG, HOME, and HOPWA grants on a reimbursement basis, enabling HSD
staff to conduct desk reviews before funds are disbursed. This ensures compliance with federal
regulations and contract terms. This allowed HSD 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 requirements, track spending rates and report
performance measurements.
Throughout the program year, HSD staff maintain regular communication with sub-grantees to
ensure adherence to federal regulations and address any compliance concerns proactively. HSD
staff use risk analyses and reporting tools to identify agencies requiring technical training or on-site
monitoring. Agencies with higher risk scores are prioritized for site visits during the subsequent
program year. 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.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 291
Because it is an HSD 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 the year via telephone
and email conversations. Many of the agencies receiving funding were for programs that have
received grant funds over an extended period 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.
Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) agencies are encouraged to place clients in multifamily units
meeting City housing standards. All rental units must have a valid business license and comply with
City housing codes. 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.
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 incorporated boundaries, agencies must follow local
housing ordinances. In these instances, a Housing Quality Standard Inspection form must be in the
client’s flle. All inspections and housing standards must be met prior to the clients moving into their
units.
HSD offers year-round technical assistance through phone, email, and in-person consultations. This
support helps agencies evaluate their programs, improve practices, and ensure compliance in a
collaborative 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 deflciencies are
identifled and agencies will work quickly to adjust processes as nec essary and move forward with
stronger programs.
The City actively engages residents to gather feedback on neighborhood improvements, funding
priorities, and safety concerns, fostering collaboration and transparency.

APPENDIX B:
Citizen Participation Plan
INTRODUCTION
The Citizen Participation Plan outlines the policies and procedures that encourage Salt
Lake City residents to actively engage in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of
the City’s Consolidated Plan, as required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). This plan prioritizes involvement from citizens in neighborhoods that
receive substantial federal funding, as well as residents across the entire city.
The Consolidated Plan details how HUD funding will be allocated for the following
programs:
•Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
•Emergency Solutions Grant Program (ESG)
•Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME)
•Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)
Citizen participation is a cornerstone of creating vibrant, livable, and sustainable
communities that effectively address residents' needs. This process ensures residents have
opportunities to infiuence housing, public services, infrastructure, and economic
development activities, equipping local officials with valuable insights into community
priorities. Involving residents in program design increases the likelihood that projects and
strategies will align with their needs and expectations.
The City encourages input from a wide range of groups and individuals on all aspects of
consolidated planning, including needs assessment, priority setting, and performance
evaluation. The Citizen Participation Plan provides multiple opportunities for residents to
contribute feedback on initiatives to:
•Provide decent housing
•Establish and maintain a suitable living environment
•Invest in infrastructure
•Expand economic opportunities, particularly for low- and moderate-income (LMI)
individuals
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 295
Salt Lake City’s Housing Stability Division oversees the development and implementation
of plans under the Citizen Participation Plan. These plans include:
•The five-year Consolidated Plan
•The Annual Action Plan (AAP)
•The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER)
•Substantial amendments to the flve-year Consolidated Plan and/or AAP
•Amendments to the Citizen Participation Plan
The City’s flscal year runs from July 1 to June 30 of the following year. Each planning area
follows a deflned schedule to ensure compliance with HUD regulations and maintain
eligibility for future funding.
The City also incorporates electronic communication, meetings, training sessions, public
notices, and outreach initiatives to facilitate participation. These efforts ensure that all
activities are effectively communicated and accessible to the general public.
HUD PROGRAMS
Salt Lake City receives four entitlement grants from HUD to help address the 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 deflned 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 beneflt 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 beneflt low and moderate-income persons.
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,
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 296
from Emergency Shelter Grants to Emergency Solutions Grants, refiects 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 flve program components: street outreach, emergency
shelter, 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)
certifled by the 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 Board
Salt Lake City utilizes the Community Development and Capital Improvements
Program Advisory Board (CDCIP) to review funding applications for all its HUD grant
programs, including:
•Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
•Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
•Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME)
•Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)
The CDCIP board is composed of a diverse group of residents, ensuring broad community
input.
Their recommendations are critical in guiding the Mayor and City Council as they
determine flnal funding allocations.
If you are interested in serving on the CDCIP Board, please contact the Housing Stability
Division at https://www.slc.gov/housingstability/ The City values diversity and encourages
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 297
individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences to apply, fostering
inclusive representation on this and other volunteer boards.
During the development of the 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan, Salt Lake City collaborated
with businesses, developers, nonproflt organizations, and philanthropic, community, and
faith-based groups. Representatives from these entities participated in the Internal and
External Stakeholder meetings, offering valuable insights into priorities for unmet and
unfunded needs. These stakeholders also provided strategic recommendations on how the
City could best allocate federal funding to address those needs. Their input is integrated
into the Consolidated Plan and will guide the use of funds throughout the flve-year period.
Salt Lake City remains committed to leveraging advisory boards as a platform for
community engagement, encouraging citizens to actively participate in decision-making
processes. These boards will continue to make funding recommendations for the Mayor
and City Council’s consideration. The Mayor retains the discretion to adjust the advisory
board(s) responsible for reviewing and recommending allocations for these grant
programs, without requiring amendments to this or related plans.
Public Housing Agency (PHA)
Salt Lake City will share information about Consolidated Plan activities with the Housing
Authority of Salt Lake City (HASLC) and the Salt Lake County Housing Authority, also
known as Housing Connect. This collaboration ensures that relevant details are made
available for inclusion in the annual public hearing required for the Public Housing
Authority (PHA) Plan. This coordination helps align the City’s efforts with those of the
PHAs to better serve the community.
Measuring Success
Salt Lake City is committed to evaluating and improving public involvement efforts related
to the Consolidated Plan. The City will explore alternative engagement techniques and
implement quantitative methods to measure the success of these efforts. Potential
approaches include:
•Online Surveys: To gather broad public input efficiently.
•Discussion Forums: For interactive and meaningful engagement with residents.
•GIS-Based Interactive Maps: Featuring public comment layers to visualize
community feedback geographically.
SALT LAKE CITY CONSOLIDATED PLAN | 2025-2029 298
•Social Media Analytics: To assess outreach effectiveness and community
engagement trends.
•Other Quantitative Methods: To systematically measure and evaluate outcomes.
Displacement of Persons
Salt Lake City is committed to adhering to all requirements outlined in the Federal

additional methods and strategies to reduce its impact on residents and communities.

Salt Lake City Public Engagement Guide
In The Spring of 2023, Salt Lake City created the Engagement Planning Guide, a
framework designed to guide all City Departments, Divisions, and employees in engaging
the public effectively during City decision-making processes.
The guide was developed in alignment with the Open Government Initiative and the
principles of the International Association for Public Participation (IAP2). It serves as a
practical tool for City employees, helping them determine the scope and appropriate level
of public engagement required to ensure successful outcomes.
The guide emphasizes the importance of considering issues such as culture, language,
income, and protected classes when identifying speciflc or unique stakeholders for any
plan, program, or process. Its goal is to maximize meaningful participation from Salt Lake
City residents, ensuring that diverse voices are heard and considered during programming
and implementation efforts.

Director
CITY COUNCIL TRANSMITTAL
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Salt Lake City (City) is an entitlement community for receiving
certain formula grants and is eligible under Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 24, Part 91, et. al.,
to receive CDBG funds in the estimated amount of $3,335,779, ESG funds in the estimated amount of
$298,628, HOME funds in the estimated amount of $823,258, and HOPWA funds in the estimated
amount of $945,200 from HUD for the 2025-2026 program year.
The City’s process for allocating these funds includes a competitive application process followed by a
thorough review of applications by the Community Development and Capital Improvement Program
(CDCIP) Board, a resident advisory board. The CDCIP Board provides funding recommendations that
are forwarded to the Mayor for consideration. The Mayor then provides funding recommendations that
are forwarded along with the CDCIP Board’s recommendations to the City Council. To receive and
allocate these funds to specific subrecipients or programs, City Council must adopt the Annual Action
Plan allocating HUD funds that principally benefit low- to-moderate income (LMI) residents. The
Annual Action Plan must align with the Salt Lake City 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan (Consolidated
Plan) that will be adopted by City Council and approved by HUD. The City Attorney’s Office
reviewed the included resolution (Exhibit A: Resolution 2025-2026 Federal Grant Award and One-Year
Annual Action Plan, attached with 2025-2026 One-Year Annual Action Plan Funding
Recommendations Log) and approves it as to form.
In addition to the annual entitlement award amounts, the City will also reallocate recaptured CDBG
funds in the amount of $650,000, and recaptured HOME funds in the amount of $122,000.
The following table represents the estimated entitlement funding the City will receive for the 2025-2026
program year. As of this date, the finalized award amounts have not yet been released.
Entitlement Funding
Grant Amount
Community Development Block Grant $3,335,779
Emergency Solutions Grant $298,628
HOME Investment Partnerships Program $823,258
Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS $945,200
Note: This table represents estimated 2025-2026 entitlement funding awards based on the grant awards from the
previous funding year (2024-2025). The 2025-2026 entitlement funding amounts will be updated once HUD
issues notification of final funding awards.
The following table represents the dollar amounts for funds that have been recaptured from previous
program years and are available for reallocation for the 2025-2026 program year. These are funds that
were positively identified as available for recapture after agreement expiration or project completion at
the end of the most recently closed HUD program year. Any recaptured funds retain the federal
requirements, eligibility criteria, and limitations of the original federal funding source. Also of note, the
20% Administrative and Planning cap and the 15% Public Services cap for CDBG are both tied to the
original HUD program year and do not carry forward. Therefore, any recaptured CDBG funding may
not be allocated to Administration and Planning or Public Services programs.

In addition to annual entitlement funding and recaptured funding available for reallocation, there is also
anticipated Program Income funding that needs to be allocated to projects and activities for the
upcoming 2025-2026 program year. The following table represents the estimated dollar amounts for
Program Income funding, that will be received during the program year and will be available for
allocation. Program Income generated with HUD funding is required to be expended prior to any
entitlement funds being drawn down. This means that, as a best practice, the anticipated Program
Income should be allocated for programming at the time of annual entitlement funding, to ensure
regulatory compliance. Since Program Income funding to be allocated is based on estimates of revenue
not yet received, it is often necessary to build in contingencies for increases or decreases in funding.
Housing Stability staff can provide guidance to the Council in making such determinations and will
work with Finance to ensure compliance with City budget processes. Also of note, CDBG Program
Income generated during the program year retains the 20% Administration and Planning cap and the
15% Public Services cap, increasing the funding available to be allocated under these categories. Due to
increasing administrative burden in the deployment and oversight of these funds, the Administration is
requesting the full allowable 20% (including from Program Income) for the 2025-2026 program year.
Program Income Funding
Grant Amount
Community Development Block Grant $900,000
HOME Investment Partnership Program $700,000
The following table represents the estimated total funding available, including entitlement funding the
City will receive for the 2025-2026 program year, the funds that have been recaptured from previous
program years now available for reallocation for the 2025-2026 program year, and the Program Income
funding estimated to be received during the 2025-2026 program year. The funding recommendations
contained within Exhibit A are based on this amount of total estimated funding availability.
Total Estimated Funding
Grant Amount
Community Development Block Grant $4,885,779
Emergency Solutions Grant $298,628
HOME Investment Partnership Program $1,645,258
Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS $945,200
The CDCIP Board reviewed applications for the HUD entitlement programs this year; CDBG, ESG,
HOME, and HOPWA programs. After thorough review and scoring the Board made funding
recommendations. Due to the timing of the Board review and the absence of final award amounts, the
Board used the total estimated amount of funding for each grant, as referenced above. The Board also
included recommended contingencies for allocating funds should the City receive an increase or
decrease in entitlement funding for any of the programs. The Board’s recommendations were forwarded
to the Mayor for review and consideration. The 2025-2026 One-Year Annual Action Plan Funding
Recommendations Log (attached to Exhibit A) for all grants will be attached to the resolution after the
City Council has made final funding decisions.
The Council may also remember that there is a 15% Community Housing Development Organization
(CHDO) set-aside requirement for the annual HOME entitlement award. This CHDO set-aside is
included as part of the funding recommendations provided to the Council. A CHDO must fit a certain
criterion regarding who serves on their board, the organizational legal status, capacity, and is a private,
nonprofit organization. An agency eligible to be qualified as a CHDO must also go through a
certification process with the City each year in which they wish to be considered for CHDO set-aside
funding. A CHDO set-aside eligible project is one in which there is creation or development of
affordable rental or homebuyer housing. Rental assistance, homeowner rehabilitation, and down
payment assistance are not eligible expenses under the CHDO set-aside. The Housing Stability Division
will continue coordinating with the Community Reinvestment Agency (CRA) on the inclusion of these
funds in their annual NOFA process. As such, the allocation of those funds to specific projects is not
included here.
PUBLIC PROCESS: From May 2024 through October 2024, Housing Stability staff conducted a
number of public engagement activities, including but not limited to, an electronic survey and
attendance at a variety of public events to receive input on how federal funding could be prioritized. The
survey was offered in English and in Spanish. A total of 448 responses were received.
The public was asked to give input on what housing and community goals they would like to see
prioritized with the federal funding. The public indicated the following as the goals they would most
like to see:
• Housing
• Homelessness
• Community Services
• Business and Workforce Development
• Transportation
A General Needs Hearing was also held during a Salt Lake City Council meeting on October 1, 2024, as
a required HUD forum to allow the public an opportunity to voice general ideas or concerns regarding
community needs.
The CDCIP Board members were provided results derived from the community engagement process, as
well as feedback received during the General Needs Hearing. The Board considered the community
feedback on priorities and how they align with the goals of the draft 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan when
identifying projects to be recommended for the 2025-2026 program year.
The CDBG, ESG, HOME, and HOPWA applications were reviewed during eight (8) public meetings by
the CDCIP Board between November 4, 2024, and February 3, 2025. In-person, small group meetings
with applicants, referred to as Nano Sessions, were held on January 27, 2025, preceding a public board
meeting.
CAN and Housing Stability provided Mayor Mendenhall with the CDCIP Board’s funding
recommendations for review on February 10, 2025. The Mayor made three (3) changes to the Board’s
recommendations:
• Shifting $100,000 in recommended CDBG Housing funding, from the Habitat for Humanity
Greater Salt Lake City application to the Salt Lake City NIS Team’s Home Repair application.
• Shifting $10,000 from Volunteers of America’s Youth Resource Center ESG application,
$10,000 from Volunteers of America’s Geraldine E King Women’s Resource Center ESG
application, and $10,000 from First Step House’s Resource Center Program ESG application, for
a total of$30,000, to the Shelter the Homeless Shelter Operations ESG application.
• Shifting $15,000 from Volunteers of America’s Geraldine E King Women’s Resource Center
ESG Application and $15,000 from First Step House’s Resource Center Program ESG
Application, for a total of $30,000, to Ruff Haven’s Street Outreach ESG application.
The remainder of the Board’s recommendations were accepted by the Mayor.

The Neighborhood Business Improvement Program (NBIP) stimulates growth in underserved
neighborhoods, supports small, local, minority-, woman-, or veteran-owned businesses, and
prioritizes applicants making ADA accommodations. Administered as a competitive grant, NBIP
opens annually in May. SLC has also seen an increase in property damage over the past three
years, leading to the development of the Business Stabilization Program (BSP), a sister
program to NBIP. The BSP offers financial resources to businesses impacted by vandalism or
property crime to keep them operational, address neighborhood safety concerns, and prevent
further damage. The program is administered on a first-come, first-served basis and will
remain open while funding lasts.

RE: Alley Vacation at Approximately 268 West Paxton Avenue
PLNPCM2022-01128
BRIEFING UPDATE
During the briefing Council Members and Planning staff discussed illegal activities occurring in the alley,
and how gates help reduce those but aren’t allowed in City code. The applicant discussed vacating the alley
would allow access to the current alley property only to abutting owners. In response to a question about
the consequences of an owner not paying for their portion of the alley, the Attorney’s Office said the alley
would not be vacated.
Following the briefing the Transportation Division reviewed the updated proposal that includes an access
easement from 300 West to the alley property and now has no objections to the proposed vacation.
Transportation forwarded the proposal to UTA for review and there were no concerns.
The following information was provided for February 4, 2025 Council briefing. It is
included again for background purposes.
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Council will be briefed about a proposal to vacate an L-shaped alley that begins at approximately 268
West Paxton Avenue (~ 1170 South). If the Council approves the alley vacation, the alley property would be
sold to abutting property owners at market value as the area zoning is General Commercial.

Briefing: February 4, 2025

Public Hearing: March 4, 2025
Potential Action: March 18, 2025
Page | 2
Following a Planning Commission meeting in June 2023, the applicant drafted an easement agreement to
address access concerns from adjacent property owners along the alley (outlined in yellow in the below
images).
An updated proposal with the access easement was presented to the Planning Commission at its September
25, 2024 meeting. Planning staff recommended and the Planning Commission voted
unanimously to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council.
Goal of the briefing: To review the proposed alley closure, address questions Council Members may
have and prepare for a public hearing.
POLICY QUESTIONS
1. Does the Council support the Planning Commission’s recommendation to close this alley?
2. Is the Council supportive of the proposed access easement?
3. The Council may wish to ask about how information about the easement is preserved and shared as
properties change ownership. Also, the Council may wish to ask about how the easement will be
maintained to ensure access is preserved. Some Council Members have encountered constituent
requests when roads or access points are privatized, and maintenance or access issues arise years
later.

ADDITONAL INFORMATION
The L-shaped alley begins at approximately 268 West Paxton Avenue (~ 1170 South) and terminates at the
Utah Transit Authority TRAX line. The alley’s north-south segment is approximately 12 feet wide and 140
feet long. The east-west segment is approximately 25 feet wide and 490 feet long.
The original proposal was to vacate just the north-south alley segment (outlined with red dashes in the
images above). Due to issues with encampments and theft in the area, gates were installed at both ends of
this alley segment in 2020 by owners of parcels 1 and 2 in the first image above due to these issues in the
alley. A consequence of closing only that alley segment is several properties adjacent to the east-west
portion of the alley would have been landlocked. These property owners access the alley from 300 West
through parcel #10 in the first image above, though there is not an easement in place guaranteeing that
access will remain. Some property owners were not supportive of the first proposal.
The Planning Commission reviewed the original proposal in June 2023, and tabled the item after three
people spoke expressing concerns about closing the alley. At the Commission’s request, the applicant
drafted an agreement guaranteeing all abutting property owners have access to their property if the alley is
vacated.
The easement agreement provides access from 300 West to the vacated alley property (as shown in the
second image above) and ensures all abutting property owners have access to their properties. All affected
property owners have indicated their support of the alley vacation with the access easement.
The subject alley was created in 1890 as part of the Harrington, Donnelly and Newell’s Subdivision. An
eastern portion of the alley across the railroad tracks and connecting to 200 West was vacated in 1960.
Alley vacation requests receive three phases of review, as outlined in section 14.52.030 Salt Lake City Code
(see pages 6-7 below). Those phases include an administrative determination of completeness; a public
hearing, including a recommendation from the Planning Commission; and a public hearing before the City
Council.
KEY CONSIDERATIONS
Page | 4
Planning staff identified four key considerations connected to this alley vacation. A short description of
each issue is provided below for reference. Please see pages 46-47 of the June 25, 2024 Planning
Commission staff report for full analysis of these issues.
Issue 1: Loss of Access
Off-street access to the property at 240 West Paxton Avenue (number 7 in the first image above) is through
the alley. This narrow lot has no access to the rear of their lot from Paxton Avenue. The property owner was
opposed to the initial proposal but is supportive of the current proposal that includes an access easement.
Issue 2: Property Owner Support
As noted above, the 240 West Paxton Avenue property owner was opposed to the initial alley vacation
proposal but is supportive of the updated proposal that includes an access easement.
Issue 3: Master Plan Considerations
Planning staff reviewed how the proposed alley vacation aligns with the Central Community Master Plan
and Plan Salt Lake. They found the Central Community Master Plan does not address alley vacations.
Plan Salt Lake promotes increased connectivity through mid-block connections, but the alley dead ends at
the railroad tracks, so can’t be used as a connection.
Issue 4: Future Public Use of the Alley
Planning staff identified three options for the City Council to consider regarding the alley.
1. Leave the alley as is. The applicant would need to ensure the north-south portion of the alley is
clear for vehicular use. This would not address the reported encampments and criminal activity in
the alley.
2. Vacate only the north-south alley segment. This would still require an access easement across a
portion of property number 10 in the first image above. Whether all property owners would be
supportive of this option is unknown. This option does not align with the City’s preference to vacate
full alleys rather than a segment.
3. Vacate the entire alley (Planning staff and Planning Commission recommendation.) The full alley
would be vacated and sold to abutting property owners at market value. In addition, an access
easement would be included guaranteeing access to all abutting property owners.
CITY DEPARTMENT REVIEW
During City review of the petition, the Engineering and Transportation Divisions were opposed to the
initial proposal vacating only a segment of the alley. Engineering is supportive of the current proposal to
vacate the full alley with an access easement from 300 West. Transportation is opposed to the current
proposal citing a desire for a full alley right-of-way dedication connecting to 300 West rather than the
proposed access easement from 300 West that includes the full east-west alley segment.
ANALYSIS OF STANDARDS
Attachment D (pages 72-74) of the September 25, 2024 Planning Commission staff report is an analysis of
factors City Code requires the Planning Commission to consider for alley vacations (Sections
14.52.020/.030.B Salt Lake City Code).
14.52.020 - The City will not consider disposing of its interest in an alley, in whole or in part, unless it
receives a petition in writing which demonstrates that the disposition satisfies at least one of the following
policy considerations:
A - Lack of Use- The City’s legal interest in the property appears of record or is reflected on an applicable
plat; however, it is evident from an on-site inspection that the alley does not physically exist or has been
materially blocked in a way that renders it unusable as a public right-of-way.
Page | 5
B - Public Safety- The existence of the alley is substantially contributing to crime, unlawful activity or
unsafe conditions, public health problems, or blight in the surrounding area.
C - Urban Design- The continuation of the alley does not serve as a positive urban design element.
D - Community Purpose- The petitioners are proposing to restrict the general public from use of the alley
in favor of a community use, such as a neighborhood play area or garden.
Planning staff found the requested alley vacation complies with policy considerations B, C, and D.
Section 14.52.030.B Salt Lake City Code directs the Planning Division to analyze factors in the following
table. Planning staff found the proposed alley vacation meets seven of the eight factors.
Factor Planning Staff Finding
The City Police Department, Fire
Department, Transportation Division,
and all other relevant City Departments
and Divisions have no objection to the
proposed disposition of the property.

City, including applicable master plans
and other adopted statements of policy
which address, but which are not limited
to, mid-block walkways, pedestrian
paths, trails, and alternative
transportation uses.
Complies (The alley is not needed
for a mid-block connection.)

CITY COUNCIL TRANSMITTAL
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
RCB Rental Properties and Little Garage, Inc. have requested to vacate the entire alley between 1161
South 300 West and 268 West Paxton Avenue. The applicant is requesting the alley vacation because the
alley has become a nuisance, contributing to unsafe conditions. The request is supported by the Central
Community Master Plan.
The alley running between 1161 South 300 West and 268 West Paxton Avenue was created in 1890 and
was partially vacated in 1960. The existing north-south portion of the alley is 12 feet wide, and the east-
west portion is 25.7 feet wide. The entire block of the alley is zoned CG (General Commercial), and the
land use of the abutting properties is mostly commercial, multifamily and one single-family dwelling.
The formal alley (outlined in yellow below) is fenced off in three places and runs through an existing
parking lot. Two property owners use the alley as legal access to their lots. Because the north/south
portion of the alley (“dashed” in red below) has been fenced off since 2020, these property owners have
been accessing the alley by turning off 300 W and crossing through 1125 S 300 W to access the east/west
portion of the alley.
To ensure continued access, the applicant has submitted a draft easement agreement over the existing
east/west portion of the alley to 300 West. With the access easement in place, vacating
the entire alleyway is consistent with the standards of review for an alley vacation, which supports the
vacation of an alley when granting the petition will not deny sole access or required off street parking to
any property adjacent to the alley and granting the petition will not result in any property being
landlocked. The applicant has also provided signatures from all involved property owners supporting the
vacation of the entire alleyway in favor of a permanent access easement. Granting the petition will not
deny sole access or required off street parking to any property adjacent to the alley.
Existing Alley
PUBLIC PROCESS:
• Early Notification
o December 21, 2022 – The Ballpark Community Council was sent the 45-day required notice
for recognized community organizations.
o December 21, 2022 – Neighbors within 300 feet of the site were provided early notification of
the proposal. No comments were received.
o May 31, 2023 – Public hearing notice mailed, posted on City and State websites, and posted on
Planning Division list serve.
o May 31, 2023 – Public hearing notice sign posted on the property.
• Planning Commission Meeting
o June 14, 2023 – The Planning Commission reviewed the original proposal to partially vacate the
alley and held a public hearing. The meeting minutes can be viewed here. Primary concerns
discussed at the hearing included continued access to the two properties utilizing the remaining
portion of the alley and, subsequently, lack of property owner support. The Planning
Commission closed the public hearing and tabled the item. The Commission directed the
applicant to draft an access agreement that can replace the entire alley.
o September 25, 2024 – The Planning Commission reviewed and held a public hearing on the
amended proposal to vacate the entire alley and replace it with an access easement. The meeting
minutes can be viewed here. There were no public comments and no questions or concerns from
the Commission. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to forward a recommendation
of approval as proposed.

BJA FY 24 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) – local solicitation
1. Please provide additional detail for the “cameras and other real time crime center equipment” in the amount of $189,154.
Overt and Trailer Camera(s) – The police department plans to purchase covert cameras and trailer camera(s) to support its camera program, which utilizes them in key locations in
Salt Lake City as part of routine law enforcement operations to improve public safety and deter and reduce criminal activity. The department’s Information Center (SLIC) deploys
cameras as part of its intel operations and remotely monitors them to assist with case investigations or other law enforcement efforts. Detective squads can request camera
deployments or SLIC detectives deploy them based on crime data and intelligence from the Crime Intel and Analysis unit. The cameras are a force multiplier as they can be deployed
in areas and during times of day with limited staffing, as well as provide a diversified response. The cameras will also assist the department with real time camera views and data
where crime is occurring.
Total estimated budget: (~$10,000/unit x 14 units overt cameras) + (~$50,000/unit x 1 units trailer camera) = $190,000
2/26/25
Council Members,
Yesterday, Council Member Puy asked if there are any restrictions or stipulations this year from the new administration for the Justice Assistance grant. According to Finance, there
have been no new or amended restrictions or certifications/standard assurances.
There are restrictions on how the money can be spent, and the cameras are among the approved items. But we haven't had any updates on the grant from the new administration.
The grant chart is copied below for your reference. As a reminder, this grant will appear on the formal agenda for a public hearing on 3/4/25.

Public Policy Analyst
DATE:March 4, 2025
RE: ORDINANCE: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT LOAN FUND LOAN TO COLD PLUNGE
COFFEE, LLC, AT 457 EAST 300 SOUTH
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Council will consider approving a loan from the City’s Economic Development Loan Fund (EDLF) to a
business called Cold Plunge Coffee, LLC, at 457 East 300 South, which offers craft coffee and cold plunges, or
cold-water immersion therapy. The City’s Economic Development Loan Committee recommends the Council
approve a $100,000 loan at an 11% interest rate over seven years. This loan will assist in the creation of
nine new jobs in the next year and the retention of one existing job. Funds will also pay for building renovation,
machinery & equipment, furniture & fixtures, working capital, and contingencies.
The interest rate reflects the 8% prime rate at the time of the application (September 24, 2024) plus the
standard EDLF four percentage points. The project qualified for a one-percentage-point reduction based on
sustainability (see section B below).
Goal of the briefing: Review a proposed $100,000 loan from the Economic Development Loan Fund to Cold
Plunge Coffee, LLC, before taking action during the March 4 formal meeting.
POLICY QUESTIONS
1. The Council may wish to have a policy discussion with the Administration about interest rates charged by
the City from this and other loan funds and whether it makes sense to reevaluate how interest rates are
determined for lenders, especially since the City typically offers loans as a lender-of-last-resort.
2. The Council may wish to ask the Administration whether the EDLF Committee considered any other unique
information about this business that would help Council Members evaluate how this application compares
Item Schedule:
Briefing: March 4, 2025
Public Hearing: N/A
Potential Action: March 4, 2025
Page | 2
to others. For example, are risk factors evaluated for each company, like outstanding loans, years in
business, etc.?
3.What outreach does the Department do to ensure a diverse pool of businesses successfully applies to the
EDLF? Are applications from diverse owners, particularly those whose businesses are located on the
Westside, offered additional support through the application process? Does EDLF staff have ideas for
improving access that would benefit from program changes or additional funding?
4. The Council may wish to request a more general update on EDLF use and processes. This could include the
number of applications, review criteria used, loan program goals, etc.
ADDITIONAL AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION
A.Interest Rates. For context, the nationwide median rates for urban small business commercial and
industrial loans in the second quarter of 2024 (the most recent data available) were 7.77% for fixed-rate
loans and 8.88% for variable rate loans, according to the most recent U.S. Federal Reserve Small Business
Lending Survey*. In the second quarter of 2022, these rates were 4.50% and 5.55% respectively. Interest
rates for EDLF loans consider an assessment of the risk level of different applicants, among other factors,
and include potential interest rate reductions. Interest rates have ranged from 7.25% for nearly all 2022
EDLF loans to an average of 9.55% in 2023 and 2024.

https://www.kansascityfed.org/surveys/small-business-lending-survey/new-small-business-lending-
declines-as-credit-standards-continue-to-tighten/.
B.Interest Rate Reductions. The bases for potential reductions are as follows:
1.Location within a priority area: RDA Project Area; Opportunity Zone; West of I-15; or
Neighborhood Business Improvement Program (NBIP, previously known as Façade Improvement)
target area.
2.Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Individuals (SEDI)-Owned Businesses: 51%
of the business is owned by at least one SEDI individual.
3.Low Income Business Owner: Income does not exceed 80% of Salt Lake County average
median income (AMI) as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD).
4.Sustainability: Either,
a. Membership in SLC Green’s E2 Business Program; or
b. Loan proceeds will be used for the purchase of electric vehicles, electric vehicle charging
stations and infrastructure, renewable energy including but not limited to wind and solar, heat
pumps, high efficiency equipment, and/or energy efficiency.

successful applications is transmitted to the Council to consider for final approval.
D.Available balance and amount of outstanding loans. The Department reported that the Fund’s
available balance was approximately $7,900,000 on January 30, 2025, and outstanding loans totaled

Reasoning behind staff recommendation
Applicants of The Economic Development Loan Fund (EDLF) go through a thorough application process
consisting of pre-screening, underwriting analysis and an economic impact statement. Only after the loan
applicant goes through these processes, is the loan recommended to be reviewed by the Loan
Committee. Upon thorough review by the Loan Committee members, a recommendation is made before the
loan is transmitted to the Mayor for Council to receive the recommendation for final approval. Because the
Loan Committee review process must adhere to the Open Meetings Act, DED’s staff has worked closely
with the City Attorney’s Office to ensure that applicants’ information is protected and at the same time the
public process is followed.
In addition, the EDLF loans must meet the goals of the Economic Development Loan Fund as stated in the
EDLF program guidelines. This loan meets the EDLF program guidelines in the following areas.
• Increase employment opportunities,
• Stimulate business development,
• Encourage private investment,
• Promote economic development,
• Enhance neighborhood vitality, and
• Boost commercial enterprise.
This loan will assist in the creation of 9 new jobs in the next year and retention of 1 current job.
This loan was recommended by the EDLF Committee to the City Council for approval.
EDLF Loan Balances
• As of January 30, 2025, the EDLF available fund balance is approximately $7,900,000
• As of January 30, 2025, the total amount of outstanding loans is: $4,758,163.35

MOTION SHEET
CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY
TO:City Council Members
FROM: Brian Fullmer
Policy Analyst
DATE:March 4, 2025
RE: Initiating Text Amendment to Consolidate and Simplify the R-1 Single-Family
Residential Districts, Including Updates to Residential Flag Lot Standards and the
Addition of New Housing Options
MOTION 1 (adopt legislative action)
I move the Council adopt a legislative action initiating a text amendment to consolidate and simplify the R-1
single-family residential districts, including updates to the residential flag lot standards, the addition of new
housing options, and to the extent possible, eliminating barriers to homeownership and consider similar
changes to the other low density districts such as the R-2, SR-1, and SR-1A zones.
The intent is to continue to study the benefits and impacts through the process of drafting, engaging the public,
and finalizing a proposal leading to consideration by the Planning Commission and potential adoption by the
Council. Specifically, the Council wants to identify how these potential changes impact the affordable housing
incentives and City goals related to housing, walkability, and water conservation.
A guiding principle of the Council is to increase home ownership opportunities for families in Salt Lake City. It is
a priority of this Council to include affordable “missing middle” housing options along with family sized housing
in any text amendment.

This amendment is to recognize the City's funding availability grant award from Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) in the amount of $3,998,800.21 for a four-year grant with the purpose of lead paint mitigation for homes within
Salt Lake City boundaries.
The work planned to be undertaken with this grant includes general lead mitigation for exterior paint, windows, kitchen
repairs and any other work that may require lead-based paint mitigation. The Housing Stability division plans to
mitigate lead hazards on approximately 300 homes in city limits over the four-year period of the grant. The Lead
Hazard grant will be used in concert with Housing Stability’s existing Home Rehabilitation and Repair program, which
is funded through CDBG. There is a $443,353 required match will come from existing budget for the Home
Rehabilitation and Repair program. Staff costs and time spent on the project will also be a part of the required match.
Applicants who may receive these grant funds will apply through the Home Rehabilitation and Repair program run
through the Housing Stability division of CAN. When an approved application involves lead-based paint mitigation, the
cost will be covered with funds provided through this grant.
This grant pays a partial amount of the annual salaries and benefits for two current Residential Construction
Rehabilitation Specialist positions – 75 percent for one and 25 percent for the other. $228,261 is the fully loaded cost
for both positions for one year. The $410,649 shown in the table below is what will be apportioned for both the
positions over the four-year period of the grant. While this grant does fund a percentage of these two positions, they are
not meant to administer this grant.
The table below breaks down how these grant funds will be utilized for lead paint mitigation in the Home Rehabilitation
and Repair program, as well as the match amounts being provided by the city.
Grant Amount Match Amount

Mayor Erin Mendenhall
Salt Lake City Hall
451 South State Street, Room 306
Salt Lake City, UT 84111
Dear Mayor Mendenhall,
I’m reaching out because I need your help with a project that’s very close to my heart. As you
know, our community is facing a growing homelessness crisis, and we believe that everyone
deserves the dignity of a clean shower and fresh clothes. That’s why we created the Showers of
Hope Utah Mobile Shower and Laundry Program under The Open Mind Foundation—a
501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to serving our community with compassion and practical support.
Why This Matters
Every day, many of our neighbors struggle with homelessness. With homelessness rising
nationwide by 18%, far too many people in Salt Lake City are forced to face daily
challenges—high costs, transportation barriers, safety concerns, and even social stigma—that
keep them from accessing basic hygiene. Without a simple shower or a clean set of clothes,
everyday life becomes even harder, affecting health, job prospects, and social connections.
Moreover, when people have no choice but to bathe in natural waterways like the Jordan River,
our environment suffers too.
Caring for Our Environment and Community
Without proper laundry facilities, clothes often end up in the trash, contributing to waste and
environmental strain. Bathing in our precious waterways introduces harmful substances that
pollute and damage local ecosystems. Our mobile service isn’t just about cleaning bodies—it’s
about cleaning up our community. By providing on-site showers and laundry services, we help
reduce textile waste, protect our natural resources, and promote a more sustainable use of the
items we already have.
Attachment 1 - Page 1
Health, Safety, and Hope
Imagine the difference a regular, warm shower can make. Not only does it help prevent disease
and improve public health, but it also restores a sense of self-worth and hope. Clean clothing
and personal hygiene go a long way in boosting confidence and making everyday challenges a
bit easier to face. Plus, when people feel better about themselves, our streets and public spaces
become safer and more welcoming for everyone.
What We Offer
Our mobile program is designed with care: •Free, clean, and private showers—including
accessible units for those with disabilities. •Laundry services so that clothes can be washed
and dried with ease. •Hygiene kits, fresh clothing, and haircuts to help restore dignity.
Direct links to vital resources like job training, housing referrals, mental health support, and
addiction recovery programs.
Since launching our first shower site at Liberty Park in July 2024, we’ve been able to offer over
50 showers, 120 meals, and 12 haircuts each month—plus essential items like hand warmers,
coats, blankets, gloves, and shoes. Our dream is to reach even more people in need by
expanding to additional locations around the city.
Where We Hope to Grow
We’ve identified key spots across Salt Lake City that can benefit most from our services:
Madsen Park (9 N Chicago St): A place where many unhoused individuals already gather.
Jordan Park (Near the International Peace Gardens): Close to shelters and food
distribution sites, making it a natural fit. •Cottonwood Park: Easily reachable by public
transportation, bike paths, and local roads. •Smith’s Ballpark Area (1588 South Major
Street): A strategic, high-need zone well-connected by transit.
A Pathway to a Brighter Future
Beyond a clean shower or laundry service, our initiative creates opportunities. By addressing
personal hygiene, we open doors to counseling, healthcare, job training, and other support
services—helping people regain control of their lives and move toward self-sufficiency.
How You Can Help
We’re inviting you to join us in this vital work. Specifically, we’re looking for support in:
1.Identifying ideal locations for our mobile units.
2.Offering financial or logistical assistance to keep and expand the program.
3.Collaborating with city services to integrate our work with existing community outreach
efforts.
Attachment 1 - Page 2
I’m also excited to share that I’m in discussions with the LDS church, which is considering
donating 25% of the cost to expand this program. With your help, we can make a lasting
difference—reducing waste, protecting our environment, improving public health, and, most
importantly, restoring dignity to those who need it most.
Thank you for taking the time to consider this initiative. I would love the opportunity to discuss
how we can work together to bring hope and help to our community.
Warm regards,
Renee Shaw
Program Director

Hello,
I'm writing to urge funding for the YWCA through the CDBG and ESG programs in the
2025-2026 federal funding cycle. I understand that they are currently not in
consideration for this year's funding cycle and I truly believe that this would be
incredibly detrimental to the lives of many women and children in the Salt Lake
area.
I would specifically like an answer of why they aren't being recommended for funding,
when there is still almost $100K of un-allocated funds within the ESG category.
There is an estimated $298,628 in funding available, but only $201,573 that has
been recommended by the board and mayor. It hardly seems reasonable to not fully
allocate the available funding.
I'd also like to understand the justification of over-funding requests from other
organizations. Specifically $100K over the request to Housing Connect for the
HOPWA Project.

Thank you for your time.
