You haven't had time to read our recent Community Quality of Life report? No worries! Here is a ten-minute podcast. Listen to Shawn Teigen on housing affordability, cost of living, access to good jobs, and whether communities can work together. 🎧 utahfoundation.org/2026/10/u…
We voted. Even our office dog has opinions. Polling places and ballot boxes close at 8p.m. tonight, so make your plan and get out and vote! 🗳️
The Utah Foundation interns want you to vote! Get out there and use your voice! Polls close at 8 p.m. today. 🗳️
Find your voting location: votesearch.utah.gov/voter-se…
Check whether the county clerk’s office has received your ballot at votesearch.utah.gov. Your ballot must be received by 8 p.m. on 11/3. If it hasn’t, you can still vote in person. If your mailed ballot arrives after you vote, it will be voided, so you’ll only be counted once
Over here at the Utah Foundation, we are scared of people that don't vote! It's probably too late to mail in your ballot. So remember to drop off your ballot at a ballot drop box or to vote in person on November 3rd! 👻

Amendment A is on your ballot. 🗳️ It would remove the newspaper publication requirement for proposed constitutional amendments and let the Legislature set the method by statute. Read both sides: utahfoundation.org/reports/o…
We were so pleased to award the other Side Village with the Cornerstone Award. The Other Side Village helps people move from chronic homelessness and isolation toward permanent housing, belonging, purpose, employment, accountability, and self-reliance.
We were so pleased to award Dr. Susan Madsen with the Insight Award, which recognizes a civic leader with a career of service or philanthropic support who has worked with integrity to provide insights in the public policy arena to improve the quality of life for Utahns.
We had a great luncheon! At our 2026 Annual Luncheon, we unveiled the results of the 2026 Community Quality of Life Index survey, straight from the people who call this state home.
Thank you to our wonderful speakers!
It's little mistakes like this that show that we're real humans over here. 😋 Shout out to good editors!

More than 300,000 Utah households spend at least 30% of their income on rent or mortgage and utilities.
I'm looking to talk with Utahns about their housing costs and how what they spend to keep a roof over their heads affects their health.
