The Sullivan Arena’s use as a mass shelter is set to end in two weeks, but homeless advocacy groups say privately run shelters in Anchorage are largely full. Meanwhile, the city is continuing to abate homeless camps.

The city plans to stop operating the Sullivan Arena as a mass shelter by June 30. Photographed on June 1, 2022.

The coalition said privately run shelters in the city are largely full, save a few dozen beds in one “high barrier” shelter that requires sobriety and religious activities, the coalition says. Zaletel is also an Assembly member representing Midtown, and in that capacity has frequently been at odds with the mayor’s office, as well.

As it stands now, many people will be left with no choice but to live outside, adding to the camps already scattered through the city’s green spaces, the coalition and other organizations say.
