Gov. Spencer Cox announced former Utah Senate President Wayne Niederhauser as his choice to serve as the new state homeless services coordinator. As outlined in HB 347, this position serves as the chief administrative officer of the Office of Homeless Services.
"During his legislative career, Wayne did not shy away from helping to solve some of the most complex and difficult issues facing the state, and he's proving that resolve again in accepting this key public service assignment," Gov. Cox said. "His leadership and ability to bring parties together will be crucial as we develop a coordinated approach to improving life for some of the most vulnerable among us."
