Letter: 'Instead of... finding a designated area for one or two larger sanctioned homeless camps, as they have been promising, the city is shirking its responsibility and placing it upon our neighborhoods.'

People experiencing homelessness move their belongings after an abatement near the railroad tracks at 800 West and South Temple, on Thursday, June 8, 2023.The Salt Lake City Council continues putting off finding a designated location for a sanctioned homeless encampment. Instead they haveto be given to churches and businesses to put up to ten tents and RVs on these properties. They haven’t limited the time that they will be allowed to keep individuals on the property.

The grantees should be required to inform their neighbors within a five block area, in writing, of their intention of setting up encampments on the property. They need to have a 24 hour contact person for neighbors should an emergency or situation arise. They should be required to provide adequate bathroom facilities, running water and security on the property that will be hosting tents and RVs. They should limit the size of the tents/rvs, and number of people allowed.
