Utah Gov. Spencer Cox requested just $18.8 million from lawmakers earlier this month for “homelessness alleviation efforts” State Homeless Coordinator Wayne Niederhauser said the diminished dollar amount might be attributed to delays in finding a location for a large “low-barrier” shelter.

Lawmakers dedicated $25 million in one -time funds for a 30-acre “central campus” somewhere along the Wasatch Front .

Utah has seen cases of chronic homelessness double from 14% to 27% of the homeless population.

The number of homeless Utahns who stayed in an emergency shelter increased from 10,414 in 2021 to 12,401 in 2023 .

Last year , Cox called for $120 million investment to maintain and expand the emergency shelter system.
