OGDEN, Utah (AP) — Ogden officials are bracing for an influx of homeless people later this year when a major shelter in Salt Lake City is scheduled to close.

The Standard-Examiner reports that the Road Home shelter in Salt Lake City that holds up to 1,000 people will be closing down and three new shelters opening in its place are designed to house 700 people.

Officials with the Lantern House shelter in Ogden are worried that the decline in beds for homeless people in Salt Lake City will send them north to Ogden. Stretch says the shelter in Ogden is already at capacity.

Ogden saw an increase in 2017 when the state launched a law enforcement blitz called Operation Rio Grande in Salt Lake City to clean up crime near the Road Home shelter.
