The past few months have marked one of the most collaborative campaigns to address homelessness in Utah to date. The joint efforts of city, county and state governments have helped to protect people experiencing homelessness from a harrowing increase in lawlessness in the Rio Grande area of Salt Lake City. I would like to commend these different forces for working together in such a productive way to improve our capital city and protect the most vulnerable people in our society.
By working to reduce crime in the Rio Grande district, law enforcement and government agencies have created a safe space for those most in need of services.
