Is Wyoming really sending their homeless population to Salt Lake City from Wyoming?
SALT LAKE CITY — Those experiencing homelessness in Wyoming are reportedly being sent to Salt Lake City as winter approaches, leaving Utah's capitol city city responsible for taking care of another state's homeless problem. However, one official says the article reporting the information doesn't tell the whole truth.
The Wyoming town has an extreme winter climate, and one of the ways homeless individuals avoid these potentially deadly temperatures is by trespassing onto private property or to warmer areas leaving officers with few choices. Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall sent a statement reacting to the story saying in part,"to know it's being done via manipulation of the criminal justice system is irresponsible, disheartening, and cruel at a humanitarian level."
He also says it's not just other states that see Salt Lake City as a destination for their homeless populations, but other cities in Utah see it as a good place for them as well.Behunin is aware of how homelessness impacts Salt Lake City businesses and residents.
