Utah’s 2021 legislative session marked milestones in investments in affordable housing and sweeping changes to the homeless governance system, all meant to enact measurable improvements in two of the Beehive State’s biggest issues.
The Legislature approved $50 million in funding to affordable housing initiatives and homelessness, which advocates described as a record in the state. Leaders with the private philanthropy community announced Wednesday those funds will be multiplied through private donations and investments to $730 million.
“Good things are taking place, and we’re deploying innovative solutions and seeing positive impacts,” Utah philanthropist and homeless advocate Gail Miller said.
