SALT LAKE CITY — The total number of people from families with children who used emergency homeless services increased by 30% in 2022,The Crossroads Urban Center, a nonprofit focused on low-income Utahns, discussed the report in its legislative update. The report and Crossroads Urban Center Executive Director Bill Tibbitts discussed how low-income Utahns have been impacted and recommendations on how best to move forward.
The disparity between low-income families and others has created higher competition in a difficult rental market, the report said. That contributed to the 30% rise inThe report indicated that in 2022:Of the people who experienced homelessness in Utah last year, 22% were under age 18 — identical to the share of the total state population estimated by the U.S. Census Bureau to be under 18.
Of the Utah children who received homeless services last year, 875 of them were aged 6 years old or younger. The most common time for an individual to experience homelessness is during the first year of life, with the second most common between 1 and 6 years old, according to the report. "Most people sleeping outside — most visibly homeless people — are childless adults, so a lot of the energy has been focused on the needs of those people," said Tibbitts. "It's just not going to be appropriate for families with children to be living in a sanctioned campground."
