Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall and city staff members have unveiled a two-year plan to increase affordable housing, mitigate involuntary displacement and reduce homelessness.
The Salt Lake City Council allocated funding for the Thriving in Place study in June 2020, and early results of the study were revealed in July 2022. Results of the first phase showed that 81% of community respondents have moderate to very high concerns about gentrification and displacement.
Protect the most vulnerable from displacement: Develop a tenant relocation assistance program; adopt a displaced tenants preference policy; create and expand tenant resources along with a tenant resource center; and promote affordable living and better jobs. Produce more housing, especially affordable housing: Adopt the affordable housing incentives policy; create more diverse housing choices in all areas; and utilize publicly owned property.
Partner and collaborate to maximize impact: Form a city implementation team; work with partners to convene a regional anti-displacement coalition; and launch an ongoing community partnership for high-risk areas.
