As winter's chill descends upon Utah County, a groundbreaking initiative emerges to combat the harsh realities faced by those experiencing homelessness. The 2024-2025 Winter Response Plan represents a warm step forward in community collaboration, weaving together a tapestry of compassion from diverse threads of society. Churches open their doors, government facilities transform into havens of warmth, and a network of dedicated individuals stand ready to offer not just shelter, but hope. Commissioner Brandon Gordon and Mayor Isaac Paxman, who lead the initiative, join the show to share the initiative’s collaborative process and the hope of success this winter.
