SALT LAKE CITY â The County Health Department cited health concerns as the reason why a homeless camp behind the Rio Grande Station was cleaned out Thursday.
âThis accomplishes nothing man⦠I mean they could be doing something better with the moneyâ said Johnathan Barker Bell, an individual experiencing homelessness. âBuilding affordable housing⦠I mean something productive instead of wasting time doing this, knocking down tents.â
This clean up was planned several weeks ago and outreach has been ongoing to help those who were impacted to find resources and services to get COVID-19 vaccines and find places to relocate.
