Salt Lake City Contract Cut Forces Nonprofit Furloughs Amid Rising Costs
What happened
Advantage Services, a nonprofit that provides jobs for people facing employment barriers, furloughed 110 employees starting October 12. This action followed a reduction in the nonprofit's largest Salt Lake City contract, which dropped from approximately $2.165 million to $1 million. Robert Ferris, the CEO, stated that the organization struggled to cover a third payroll in October.

Why it matters
The contract reduction, combined with insurance costs that rose over 300% and higher fuel expenses, has made it difficult for Advantage Services to maintain financial stability. Salt Lake City reduced the contract after moving more cleanup work to its own staff through the Urban Services Division.
