The Other Side Village pilot project will house 60 chronically homeless individuals, but is eventually projected to house approximately 400 individuals.
SALT LAKE CITY — Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall's dream of a tiny-home village to provide housing for Salt Lake City's chronically homeless seemed to come to fruition Wednesday, with a groundbreaking at the 40-acre lot at 1850 W. Indiana Ave.
The single housing unit at the groundbreaking represented more than what is to come. At Wednesday's ceremony, Grenny announced the unit would be named Mendenhall Manor. The gesture drew an emotional reaction from Salt Lake City's mayor, who wiped away tears. Other speakers included Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson, State Homeless Director Wayne Niederhauser, Salt Lake City Council members and the unofficial mayor of the Other Side Village, Tim Stay.
