The Anchorage Assembly has voted to fund a $2.4 million plan to provide emergency winter shelter or housing for three months for about 350 people who are homeless and living unsheltered in the city.
for emergency shelter from Oct. 1 through the next 90 days. The committee then came to a consensus on the plan, which members have now voted to fund.
For two years, the city used Sullivan Arena as a COVID-19 mass homeless shelter, until Bronson closed it at the end of June. The administration directed and bused dozens of homeless people who had been staying there to live in Centennial Park Campground in East Anchorage. Around 200 people now live there.
“We need to house these folks soon. Winter is here, especially if you’re outside only,” said resident Emily Creely. “People who are houseless are human beings. They are neighbors. Please put the use of the Golden Lion back into play. It’s needed. Everything is needed. To anyone opposing the use of existing structures being converted into shelters, I beg you see these people as your neighbors. Helping them makes our community stronger, not weaker.
Assembly member Allard, who opposed the sheltering plan, said homeless residents could choose to go to a high-barrier shelter with open beds.
