33According to these federal guidelines, HCD acted appropriately in
choosing not to issue an RFP, but to disperse the funds directly.
Utah’s NSP3 monies are scheduled to be used as gap funding, or a
short term construction loan, for a project on State Street in Salt Lake
City that will create 120 affordable housing units. This loan will be
repaid in two to three years, and will then be available for reuse.
Initially, the money was targeted for a project in Midvale, but the
project could not spend the money within the required two-to-three
years, so HCD awarded the funds to the State Street project. A site
map of the State Street project met the federal requirements of an
NSP score of 12 or more, and so is acceptable to HUD.

Bridges Out of Poverty is a training program designed to help middle-
class people communicate with people in poverty.

specifically for training staff on this program. Over two years the state
fronted an additional $21,527 for books and training supplies; most of

nonprofit entities, resulting in state costs of only $3,980. The only
state support since 2007 has been the cost for two state employees
who periodically train community groups on request. Figure 3.2
shows the amount of funds expended on this program.
