Weber Housing Authority

It’s not a done deal, but the housing authority hopes to close on the property before the year ends — and ahead of a deadline before losing $1 million in funding.

Ogden City Council authorized the city’s purchase of the Aspen Assisted Living facility, sending the Weber Housing Authority looking for a new site.

Some Ogden city officials want more homeownership and wealth in the East Central neighborhood, but the county housing authority wants their facilities to be close to services.
