Sugar House neighbors question whether a relocating ‘hospice for the homeless’ will become a de facto homeless shelter

Residents in an eastside Salt Lake City neighborhood are pushing back against an assisted living center for sick homeless people, billed as “hospice for the homeless.”

The INN Between, which opened in 2015 in a former school near 400 South and 1000 West, announced earlier this month that it plans to relocate to an existing rehabilitation home near 1300 East and 1300 South and accept more patients.

Now neighbors of the future site say administrators of the care center haven’t been forthcoming about the number of patients, its licensure or the types of treatment it’s offering to homeless people.
