Sugar House neighbors confront nonprofit, saying it lied about its plans for a ‘hospice for the homeless’

If the Salt Lake City neighborhood that’s the future home to a medical facility for homeless people wanted to stop the new project from moving forward, residents there on Thursday confronted a hard reality.

“We want to hear your voices. It won’t stop us from moving in, but we want to be good neighbors,” said Kim Correa, executive director at the INN Between, told a gathering of about a hundred Sugar House residents at a town hall on Thursday night.

The building on 1300 South near 1200 East that once operated as a skilled nursing facility soon will become home to what is essentially a clinic for people who have a medical referral for treatment but nowhere else to turn.
