A First Look at Salt Lake County’s Homelessness Plan
Salt Lake County has a brand new homelessness plan, and we want to know: What’s in it? Katherine Fife, Salt Lake County’s associate deputy mayor, joins executive producer Emily Means to explain what the county is doing to address this statewide humanitarian crisis, in light of the recent Supreme Court ruling allowing cities to criminalize homelessness.

- Operation Jordan River? Sounds Familiar.
- Who Gets To Exist in SLC Parks?
- Who Is Responsible for Camp Abatements, and Why?
