Home prices and rents along the Wasatch Front are soaring in the face of a shortage of available homes and a pandemic-induced spike in demand.

That has left thousands of residents priced out, but it’s also led many to consider new options, including downsizing their living arrangements to as little as 250 square feet, doubling up with new roommates and other creative solutions. Salt Lake City has just launched an initiative seeking ideas for new home designs that might empower more residents to live the way they choose and can best afford.

As part of its ongoing reporting on Utah’s housing crisis, The Salt Lake Tribune is interested in talking to residents who are living in tiny homes, one-room rentals and other smaller living arrangements.
