The 100-unit deeply affordable housing project operated by Switchpoint was unveiled in Salt Lake City and will provide housing to seniors and veterans.
SALT LAKE CITY — It has been over five years since Chuck Layton and Kevin Layton, whom some call "The Brothers," have slept entirely alone.
Last week, their cousin contacted former Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson who phoned Carol Hollowell, the Switchpoint Community Resource Center executive director. When Hollowell arrived at the brothers' camp on 1300 South and 500 West in a pickup truck, she had three questions: Are you a senior? Do you have income? Do you want to be housed?
The brothers had purchased a motorhome for shelter but it was impounded twice and several other vehicles had previously been impounded. Before the impounds, the brothers often would welcome other people experiencing homelessness inside during freezing temperatures. They would sometimes throw their visitors' belongings onto the roof and below the vehicle to create room inside, Kevin Layton recalled.
The close bond between the two is apparent, but Kevin Layton jokes that for $450 a month they'd like their own studio apartments. Every studio apartment at The Point Fairpark will be rented at $450, including utilities. The building was placed in a 50-year deed of trust to ensure it would be utilized as deeply affordable housing for that length of time.
"I have to ask why is it so difficult for us to put these things together?" Niederhauser asked. "You've got to make it easier."
