An area nonprofit is working with Provo city officials to offer hotel vouchers to people without a place to sleep. But what happens to those who are still on the streets?
In the absence of any official services from either the City of Provo or the county government, churches and nonprofits are doing what they can for the unsheltered.
Like other industries right now, homeless service providers in Salt Lake City are struggling to hire workers. That’s impacting their ability to provide people shelter from the cold.
Utah County doesn’t have an overnight shelter like Salt Lake County does. As a result, local organizations rely on a motel voucher system to give people experiencing homelessness temporary lodging when temperatures drop.
