SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Governor Spencer J. Cox has appointed Representative Tyler Clancy to serve as Utah`s state homeless coordinator, succeeding Wayne Niederhauser.

Niederhauser will retire on Dec. 5. Clancy's appointment is effective March 9, 2026, after his legislative service concludes.

"Rep. Clancy knows the work on the ground and at the policy table, and that mix will sharpen coordination and results," said Gov. Cox. "Building on the foundation Wayne Niederhauser laid, we will strengthen Utah`s response and help more Utahns find stability."

Currently, Clancy represents House District 60. The governor's office shared that since his election at age 25, Clancy has worked on homelessness, public safety, re-entry and drug policy. He is the chair of the House Ethics Committee.
