Should your city use public funds to build more affordable housing units?

Latitude Apartments, located at 940 W. 200 South in Salt Lake City, has opened with 105 new affordable housing units. All units are set aside for residents making 60% of the area median income or less.

Why it matters

Salt Lake City's housing shortage has added pressure to affordability on the west side over recent years. The project reflects the city's use of public funds to help ensure affordable units are built.

Of the 105 units, 16 are set aside for residents earning 30% of area median income, and about 30% have two or three bedrooms. The nearly $39 million project was funded through city money, federal and state tax credits, and other sources, and the extraction does not specify monthly rent amounts.

The players

Roadmap

Latinos Apartments adds to a statewide affordable rental deficit estimated at 44,000 units in Utah, a gap that single developments of this scale only partly close. The project shows how city funding combined with federal and state tax credits is being used to finance projects within the Salt Lake City housing market.

Residents earning 60% of area median income or less may qualify for the 105 units, including 16 reserved for those at 30% of area median income. Prospective tenants should confirm current rent amounts and eligibility requirements directly with the property.

The takeaway

Affordable housing projects like Latitude Apartments depend on layered funding from city, federal, and state sources, so their pace of delivery reflects how well those programs align. Residents seeking affordable units should check income thresholds early, since eligibility is tied to area median income.
