Anchorage Mayor Dave Bronson hasof his administration’s proposed plans to provide emergency shelter for hundreds of the city’s homeless residents this winter. His proposal takes four different tactics: lodging residents in 20 portable buildings, distributing city grants to organizations and churches that stand up their own shelter sites, continuing to shelter people in rooms at the Aviator Hotel downtown and, if needed, sheltering people in two city-owned community recreation centers.

Several Assembly members say key details are still missing from the mayor’s plans, leaving them with further questions that must be answered before the city finalizes a plan.

The city has sheltered hundreds of people experiencing homelessness in individual hotel rooms at the downtown building for more than two years.
