Why is it Taking So Long for A Sanctioned Campground in Salt Lake City?

When homeless leaders such as Kseniya Kniazeva of Nomad Alliance talk about what the unsheltered homeless need more than anything they say one thing: a sanctioned campground. This way the personal property of the individuals can remain safe. When we ask the homeless what they need more than anything Jonnie (who has been homeless for 30 years tells Utah Stories) –provided the most typical answer: “We don’t need more food, we are all very well fed. We don’t need more blankets…We need property. We can manage the property on our own, just a place where we can be where the police will not harass us.”
