Anchorage Prepares Night Shelters for Winter | Anchorage News
Description
Anchorage is racing against winter by launching a new emergency shelter program, targeting nighttime use to keep homeless residents safe from deadly cold snaps. Building on years of expanded services funded by federal dollars and a voter-approved alcohol tax, the city is calling for contractor bids by August 11th to set up temporary shelters across neighborhoods. With homelessness down 30% thanks to increased shelter access, officials stress that while year-round funding may be tight, this initiative ensures no one sleeps outside in the brutal Alaskan winter.
