A new 17-member task force would bring together housing authorities, homelessness service organizations, the 2034 Olympic Organizing Committee, and state officials to study how the 2034 Winter Olympics may affect housing for vulnerable Utahns — including people with disabilities, survivors of domestic violence, those experiencing severe mental illness or substance abuse, foster youth aging out of the system, and low-income families — in Davis, Salt Lake, Summit, Utah, and Weber counties. The task force would be required to assess housing gaps, analyze displacement risks from Olympic-driven housing demand, examine the cost of building affordable housing, and identify potential funding sources such as state appropriations, private donations, or public-private partnerships. By November 2026, the task force would need to deliver a report with policy recommendations to the Economic Development and Workforce Services Interim Committee, and the task force would automatically dissolve at the end of 2026 unless lawmakers act to extend it.
