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.
