New homelessness boss, refugee frustrations and Vicky Chavez leaves sanctuary on this week’s ‘Behind the Headlines’

Join Salt Lake Tribune journalists for KCPW’s weekly news roundup.

A new “homelessness czar” is appointed to oversee Utah’s response to the growing number of unsheltered people in the state. Refugee resettlement groups express frustration that President Joe Biden has yet to expand the number of refugees the U.S. is willing to accept. And after three years in sanctuary in a Salt Lake City church, Vicky Chavez and her two daughters can now leave without fear of deportation.

At 9 a.m. on Friday, Salt Lake Tribune reporters Matt Canham and Taylor Stevens, along with editorial page editor George Pyle, join KCPW’s Roger McDonough to talk about the week’s top stories.

Every Friday at 9 a.m., stream “Behind the Headlines” at kcpw.org, or tune in to KCPW 88.3 FM or Utah Public Radio for the broadcast. Join the live conversation by calling 801-355-TALK.
