Nearly 80% of the money budgeted for Operation Rio Grande was used for policing, jail beds and court costs Bethany Rodgers © Provided by Salt Lake Tribune (Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) Salt Lake City Police continued policing the removal of homeless camps for the second day near the Rio Grande area, Dec. 10, 2020. Nearly $8 of every $10 allocated by state and local governments for Operation Rio Grande, a massive safety and social services campaign, were spent on court costs and policing and jailing the predominantly homeless population around Salt Lake City’s Pioneer Park. Spending data, which The Salt Lake Tribune has compiled for the first time since the two-year operation ended, show far less money about 18% of the $55.3 million in new funding went into housing, shelter and services like substance abuse and mental health treatment.

Tensions flare as health department clears homeless encampments in Salt Lake City “These are people’s only homes,” said an advocate, who worried that the unsheltered individuals will have nowhere to go. (Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) A Salt Lake City Police officer holds up police tape for two men leaving the Rio Grande area with their belongings, Dec. 10, 2020. | Updated: Dec. 13, 2020, 4:10 a.m. Tensions flared between protesters and police in downtown Salt Lake City on Thursday as dozens of people experiencing homelessness were forced to leave the camps where they were living. A front loader was used at one point to move discarded clothing into a dump truck. One couple at 600 West and 300 South, who declined to talk to The Salt Lake Tribune, struggled as they attempted to pile their things onto an overfilled shopping cart. A box on top of their belongings and a green tarp fell to the ground as they moved.
