Salt Lake County, Housing and Community Development Public Comment PRO Housing
Application for HUD PRO Housing Funding:
Salt Lake County intends to apply for funding under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) Pathways to Removing Obstacles to Housing (PRO Housing) Notice of Funding
Opportunity (NOFO).
To meet HUD's requirements, we need your feedback. Help us shape our application and improve our
community by providing your feedback and comments on this application draft. A copy of the draft
can be found on the public notice website (https://www.utah.gov/pmn/sitemap/publicbody/2358.html)
or by emailing Rjgoodman@slco.org. A physical copy of the application draft is also available at
2001 S State Street, STE S2-100.
Background:
Salt Lake County (SLCo) is submitting a proposal under the HUD PRO-Housing program to
implement two key activities aimed at reducing barriers to affordable and safe housing. These
activities will strategically address both the preservation of affordable housing and the
development of new units through a Community Land Trust (CLT) and Community Land Bank (CLB)
initiative. The total funding request is $7 million, with $6.5 million allocated for a revolving
loan fund and $500,000 for the establishment of the CLT/CLB.
Please review the draft application for a full breakdown of proposed uses of the funds.
Alignment with Salt Lake County Consolidated Plan:
The creation of this PRO Housing project, as outlined in the application, aligns with the current
Salt Lake County Consolidated Plan. Salt Lake County's Consolidated Plan aims to identify the
greatest needs in Salt Lake County through a public process and public input. Through this process,
it was evident that there was a disproportionate need for greater affordable housing. The housing
shortage and the rapid rise in both home prices and rental rates have been particularly burdensome
for special needs households: the elderly, large families, single-parent, minority, and disabled. A
disproportionate share of these special needs households are very low and extremely low-income.
Public Input and Participation:
Salt Lake County encourages public input and participation in the development and
implementation of PRO Housing funded projects. All comments are welcome, as affordable housing
impacts every single resident of Salt Lake County and Utah as a whole.
Next Steps:
After review of any comments received, an application will be submitted to HUD no later than
10/15/2024. Awards are expected to be announced by HUD in Spring of 2025. If awarded, Salt Lake
County will immediately begin the creation and implementation of the PRO Housing program.
