Administration: homeless resource center at capacity; encampment mitigation and outreach events set for April
Summary
City staff reported the homeless resource center remains at capacity and outlined scheduled encampment mitigation and outreach events in early April, plus an upcoming resource fair and outreach court dates.
The administration briefed the council on April 1 that the Salt Lake City homeless resource center remains at capacity and provided the council with an operational schedule of mitigation and outreach activities this month.
A deputy filling in for Andrew Johnston said encampment impact mitigation was scheduled for Wednesday, April 2 in Memory Grove (weather‑dependent) and that rapid intervention activities would focus on several riverfront and trail locations, including Backman, Riverside/California Avenue and Victory Road/Redwood Road. The administration also announced a resource fair scheduled for April 11 at Pioneer Park and an outreach court on April 4 at the Wiegand Center.

Ending: Staff said they would provide updates and coordinate with council offices for constituent questions and local outreach.
