At a Wednesday meeting that lasted nearly three hours, members of the Anchorage Assembly finalized their plan to provide emergency winter shelter.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska -
“We have a facility that already needs repair,” said Assembly Member Daniel Volland. “Why would we subject other municipally-owned facilities to that?” Other components of the Assembly’s plan include increasing the capacity at existing shelters. It calls for expansions in occupancy at Brother Francis Shelter by 20 people and Covenant House by 25 people. They also hope to utilize a new Bean’s Café location that can house 40 individuals.
