State homeless leaders considered using eminent domain to acquire Salt Lake County's Oxbow Jail site for a new homeless campus.
Utah’s Office of Homeless Services explored taking control of the Salt Lake County Oxbow Jail site as it looked to find a spot for a massive homeless shelter.
A text Nick Coleman, the second-in-command of the state Office of Homeless Services, sent Utah Impact Partnership's Michael Parker detailing the complex path to securing the Oxbow Jail as the site of a huge homeless shelter. Less than two weeks earlier, on Sept. 12, the Office of Homeless Services penned an internal memo for the state Homeless Services BoardState leaders have yet to decide where the massive shelter may go, but trumping the county to take over the Oxbow site is, they insist, no longer being considered.
Shumway responded, saying “Salt Lake City is headed the route of San Francisco,” and adding that he didn’t need to talk to “another 50 service providers who simply tell me to give them more money to know we must do some things differently.” A cyclist rides along the Jordan River Trail next to the Oxbow Jail in South Salt Lake on Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2024.
