Homeless advocates seek $8 million that may turn into $16 million, thanks to a challenge grant

Advocates for the homeless are launching a campaign seeking to raise $8 million for new homeless resource centers in Salt Lake County — which could turn into $16 million because of a challenge grant.

The Larry H. and Gail Miller Family Foundation issued a dollar-for-dollar challenge grant of up to $10 million 18 months ago. So far, only about $2 million has been raised by Shelter the Homeless toward matching that grant.

So the group is launching a radio, TV and digital ad campaign seeking to raise the additional money. Donations may be made online at Home4Change.
