How Does Salt Lake City Criminalize Homelessness?

from City Cast Salt Lake · host City Cast

We recently asked Mayor Erin Mendenhall if Salt Lake City would consider rescinding its “no camping” ordinance, and she said no. That raised some questions for us, like how often are Salt Lakers going to court for camping? Taylor Hastings, an attorney with the Salt Lake Legal Defender Association, talks with lead producer Emily Means about what other measures could keep folks out of the criminal justice system while trying to survive on the city's streets.  Subscribe to our daily morning newsletter.
