First 100 women have relocated from The Road Home to homeless resource center

The first groups of clients have moved into the Geraldine E. King Women’s Resource Center, the initial step in a larger transition in homeless services in and around Salt Lake City.

The shift of women from The Road Home’s downtown shelter to the resource center at 131 E. 700 South began last week, with about 100 relocated to the 200-bed facility so far.

"So far, it's been going good. Normal glitches that happen when you open a new building and have new processes, but the women seem content," said Cathleen Sparrow, chief development officer for Volunteers of America, Utah, which is operating the shelter.
