As more Americans continue to see prices rise faster
than their paychecks, an increasing number continue to rely on food
banks and other assistance in order to help them get by. After a recent
$5 billion budget cut in food stamps, millions of Americans saw their necessary food benefits decline.
Every year the state conducts a survey of the homeless population,
the state currently has more than 15,000 that are homeless according to
2010 information. In 2004 the state ventured on the journey to eradicate
homelessness within a decade, and so far they’ve been mostly
successful: chronic homelessness in Utah has been in a downward trend
since 2005. So far, Utah has reduced its rate of chronic homelessness by
78 percent over the past 8 years.
