SALT LAKE CITY — A new webpage on the Salt Lake City government site aggregates resources, information and answers about homelessness in the city, including a chart listing how full each permanent shelter was the previous night.
On Feb. 10, the Geraldine E. King Women's Center; the Gail Miller Resource Center; the Men's Resource Center; and the St. Vincent de Paul Overflow Nightly Shelter were all at least at 90% capacity, according to information the city pulls from the Utah Homeless Management Information System database.
The numbers are based on nightly head counts conducted at 2 a.m., the city says.
None of the shelters is actually managed by Salt Lake City. The Road Home operates the Gail Miller, Men's and St. Vincent de Paul shelters, while the Women's Center is operated by the Volunteers of America. In a tweet Wednesday, the city said it "believes in transparency" and hopes the "information will be helpful for those interested."
