Nearly three months after a nonprofit bought an abandoned motel in Sandy City with the intent of converting it into transitional housing, city leaders have cleared the way for the project to happen.
In a meeting Tuesday night, Sandy City unanimously approved a code change that will allow the former Econolodge, located at 8955 S. 255 W., to be converted into transitional housing for at-risk seniors experiencing homelessness and others who are medically vulnerable.
"...We would like to approach this as a community partner, as a good neighbor and we thank you for all the time you have put into this," said Laurie Hopkins, Executive Director of Shelter the Homeless."We really appreciate it." “The operating conditions agreed upon are in the best interest of both the community and those served," Zoltanski said in a statement."The [medically vulnerable people] model is a new kind of facility to help the most vulnerable address immediate needs, such as shelter and medical care, and work toward a positive path to permanent housing. It will save lives and help direct the homeless on a path to permanent housing.
