Salt Lake City mayor opposes proposed Ballpark homeless facility

Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall says she is against the idea of a new homeless service facility in the Ballpark neighborhood. "I oppose putting a new homeless service facility in the Ballpark neighborhood, and earlier this week I withdrew my support for using state funds to pay for it. The County needs more beds to meet the needs of our unsheltered population," the mayor tweeted Thursday. "It isn't tenable to ask this City to support two more emergency shelters, on top of the 853 beds we already support. New emergency shelter beds must also come online in jurisdictions throughout the County to better balance the system," added Mendenhall. In a letter to the State Homeless Coordinating Committee sent Tuesday, Mendenhall withdrew her support for using State funds to convert the Volunteers of America, Utah detoxification facility in the Ballpark neighborhood to an overflow emergency shelter facility.
