2011 Out of Reach Report
The National Low Income Housing Coalition released the Out of Reach 2011 on Monday, May 2, 2011. Out of Reach 2011 again includes the calculation of the Housing Wage: the amount a person working full-time must earn to afford the Fair Market Rent on a modest two-bedroom unit. Out of Reach also calculates the number of hours one must work at the minimum wage and the average renter wage in order to afford typical rents. In addition, the report provides local wage and income data for comparison purposes. Utah data

Salt Lake City wants to offer a better place for residents and visitors to plop spare change than a panhandler’s hand, cup, box or bucket.
It’s not to be miserly. Rather, the motive is to redirect handouts to curb homelessness. So, beginning Thursday, Utah’s capital will unveil a downtown string of refurbished parking meters — painted bright red and placed along sidewalks — designed to collect coins for the city’s social-service providers.
