SALT LAKE CITY — The Solt family has been building their little slice of heaven over the last 10 years in Salt Lake City: chickens, horses, dogs, all in a place they've grown to love. They think that their day-to-day will be changing with the state's new plan to build on their neighboring land.

Wednesday morning, the Utah Office of Homeless Services and the Utah Homeless Services Board announced an agreement for the state to acquire land for the development of a homeless services campus — the "first-of-its-kind" in Utah.

“People can get shelter and robust effective services to address any issues they face,” said Wayne Niederhauser, the state homeless coordinator.
