The interior of a unit at Salt Lake City’s first legal homeless camp on Tuesday, Dec. 19, 2023.

Homeless Utahns find warmth, help and hope as Salt Lake City's first legal camp opens. Governor Cox says diversity hiring practices at Utah’s universities will end in 2024. And they reported their OB-GYN to Provo police for sexual assault; nearly 2 years later, they’re still waiting to see if he’ll face criminal charges.

Joining the program today are: Salt Lake Tribune City and county reporter Blake Apgar, Statewatch reporter Emily Anderson Stern, Investigative reporter Jessica Miller, and News columnist Robert Gerhke.
