During this time of soaring unemployment, financial insecurity, and growing hunger, we urge Congress to temporarily increase SNAP benefit levels in the next federal COVID-19 relief package. America’s cities are on the front line of responding to unprecedented disruption to local economies triggered by COVID-19. As mayors, we need every option available to fight hunger and stimulate the economy in our cities. SNAP is a proven solution to both challenges. By providing families with a grocery benefit they can use to purchase food directly, SNAP is a safe, effective way to ensure that low-income children and their families can get the food they need during this unprecedented crisis. While the FFCRA provided USDA with authority to increase emergency SNAP allotments for existing SNAP households to the maximum benefit, the most vulnerable families—roughly 12 million people, including 5 million children—received no additional nutrition assistance because their household already received the maximum SNAP benefit.

  • Salt Lake City Arts Council Strategic Plan

    Salt Lake City Arts Council Strategic Plan

    2017-2020 Salt Lake City Arts Council Strategic Plan 2017-2020 Introduction The Salt Lake City Council on the Arts was formed in 1976 at the request of Mayor Ted Wilson, who appointed its first Executive Director. The Council was created to help distribute funds to arts organizations within the City, taking the burden off the City Commission. By 1979 a nonprofit entity, The Salt Lake Arts Council Foundation, was established to manage funds designated for the arts organization and also begin programming of their own. The two staff members of the Foundation were City employees. In 1981, this new group moved into the Art Barn, located in the City’s Reservoir Park, when the space was vacated by the Salt Lake Arts Center. From that initial beginning, the organization now has six full-time City employees who, together with the Foundation board, have grown the original concept into a significant cultural entity in the City. The Salt Lake City Arts Council is the City’s designated local arts agency and uses its unique position as manager of both public and received-grant resources to leverage how the arts are supported and presented to the City. Through its work, the Council has created enduring connections between the arts and the public, cultivated future artists and arts organizations, given voice to community arts conversations and needs, provided resources for arts programming, offered education about the arts as well as support of arts education efforts, and impacted City policy affecting the arts. It has developed its own programs, as well, that have endured for decades and serve as models for other arts programming.

This brief is a product of a 2 month process with a small working group of experts tasked with exploring the current financial gap in affordable housing development and possible solutions to address this gap. HAND staff has presented these initial findings to Mayor Biskupski and will continue to provide specifics around budget and process required for each recommended solution. Background/Discussion: HAND has become increasingly aware of the need for affordable housing and, as such, has launched several efforts to create more access to affordability in the city. Through the analysis of data and community input the lack of funding has been identified as the main barrier in creating and sustaining affordable units in Salt Lake City. Specifically this refers to the subsidy needed in order to have rents lowered to serve people below 80% area median income (AMI) with a special emphasis on 40% AMI.

  • Addressing America's Housing Challenges

    Addressing America's Housing Challenges

    Common Ground: Addressing America’s Housing Challenges Policy Proposals for the Multifamily Housing Industry and the Renters They Serve America today is facing an unprecedented housing crisis. Millions of our neighbors are confronting rising rent costs, a shortage of affordable housing and potential eviction. We cannot wait to find solutions to this problem - we must act now. At Rhino, we are working to address these issues by building products that provide Americans greater financial flexibility, ensure property owners are protected, and remove barriers to obtaining quality housing. By allowing renters to replace their security deposit with insurance, Rhino is helping to unlock more than $45 billion of cash sitting in escrow accounts in order to put those funds back into the economy, allowing Americans to pay off debt, save for emergencies, or invest in their retirement. However, for all that we have accomplished, we recognize there is so much more that we can and should do. In an effort to find practical, effective and real solutions to these issues, Rhino has brought together leaders from across public and private sectors to discuss sustainable solutions to the housing affordability crisis. To this end, in the summer of 2020 Rhino launched the Rhino Housing Innovation Council with the participation of executives, industry leaders and policymakers to explore pragmatic solutions to these issues. With the partnership of top-50 multifamily operators and the mayors of cities like Dayton, Ohio, Richmond, Virginia & Tolleson, Arizona, Rhino’s Innovation Council provides the forum for discussion and thought leadership that is so desperately needed today. We believe that listening to leaders from all sides will result in win-win solutions that ensure affordability for renters while contributing to the prosperity of local housing markets.

    Mayors Support 30X30

    Mayors Support 30x30 Protecting 30% of America’s Land and Ocean by 2030 I, Mayor ________ of __________, support local, state, and federal action to confront America’s nature crisis by pursuing a goal of conserving at least 30 percent of our nation’s lands and ocean by 2030. Nature is indispensable to the health and prosperity of every community in America. We depend on our forests and streams for clean drinking water and clean air. Our lands are a place of cultural, ecological, and sacred resources that have sustained humanity for generations. Our ocean supplies wild fish that feed our country and provide endless wonder and enjoyment. Our rivers, mountains, and deserts are where families unplug and reconnect. Our parks, open spaces, beaches, trails, and public lands enrich communities’ quality of life and power America’s outdoor recreation economy. Our very existence depends upon the survival of a rich diversity of natural life. Achieving 30x30 will require an ambitious and inclusive movement that engages local, state, national and Tribal leaders, as well as private landowners, as part of the solution. Efforts to conserve, protect, and restore our natural world will be guided by science, protect private property rights, honor Tribal sovereignty, and engage local communities to ensure that the benefits of nature are equitably shaped and shared by all. Positive, bipartisan, community-driven conservation efforts are already happening in our community. I pledge to continue to pull stakeholders together—recognizing this goal will take action at the neighborhood, community, state, and national level. Together, we can and must protect nature for generations to come.

It’s truly an impressive collection of talent and influence,” said Christian Gardner, President and CEO of The Gardner Company and one of the leaders of the Climate Compact Steering Committee. “COVID-19 taught us the hard way how fast our world can change. We can still make a difference when it comes to climate change – but the next 10 years are critical.” The inaugural signers of the Utah Climate and Clean Air Compact commit their support to climate and clean air solutions and the milestones laid out in The Utah Roadmap: Positive Solutions on Climate and Air Quality. Among the signatories are iconic Utah leaders representing government, faith, business, healthcare interests and bipartisan representation from Utah’s congressional delegation (see below for a full list of signatories).
