KSL - ‘Affordable housing solutions on the horizon for Utah: 7 developments, 850 units in pipeline’

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Gov. Spencer Cox may sleep a little sounder tonight after Ivory Innovations and Call to Action Foundation revealed a partnership that will bring 850 affordable housing units across the state in the next three years.

"I get asked routinely. What are the things that worry me the most about the state of Utah? What are the things that keep me up at night?" said Cox at a kick-off event Tuesday. "I never hesitate to give the answer. It is always, always the No. 1 thing that I worry about in our state is the price of housing right now."

Ivory Innovations and Call to Action Foundation announced their collaboration to create the "Housing for Impact," a partnership between the two organizations to address the needs of affordable housing in different communities. Over the next three years, the partnership plans to build seven new housing developments with approximately 850 units. The units will vary from townhomes and condos to apartments.
