Section R988-500-6 - Location, Establishment, and Operation of Temporary Overflow Shelter(1) When contracting with an entity for the operation of a temporary overflow shelter as permitted by Section 35A-16-502.5, the office shall first try to contract with a non-profit entity. If the office cannot contract with a non-profit entity, the office shall contract with a local government entity associated with the municipality or county in which the temporary overflow shelter is located. If the office cannot contract with either a non-profit entity or a local government entity, other qualified entities shall be considered.(2) When determining the location of a temporary overflow shelter, the office shall consult with the Utah Homeless Network steering committee and the local homeless council ("LHC") with jurisdiction over the applicable municipality or county. The office shall give preference to sites with adequate access to transportation, food, and services, as determined in the office's sole discretion. The office shall also, in conjunction with the LHC, determine an overflow shelter's capacity. All other factors being equal in the office's sole discretion, the office shall give preference to the shelter with the most capacity.Utah Admin. Code R988-500-6
