State won’t take over homeless shelter in South Salt Lake — for now — as negotiations continue

The nonprofit that owns three new resource centers located in the Salt Lake Valley is pumping the brakes on an effort to convey the shelter property in South Salt Lake to the state.

A majority of Shelter the Homeless board members had voted via email in July for a proposal to execute a deed to the state for $100 upon the building’s completion — an effort to resolve a standoff over a permit needed to open the resource center at 3380 S. 1000 West.

The 15-member board was expected to ratify that decision at Wednesday’s board meeting but instead discussed an amended permit proposal from South Salt Lake.
