Recently the Anchorage Assembly passed an ordinance that made more places available for shelters. They refuse to listen to community councils especially the Midtown Anchorage Community Council where most Midtown business do not want these shelters close to their business. Most of there members do not want it at the Old Alaska club location at 630 E Tudor Road. There is a coffee stand there called the Common Grounds Coffee Stand which is also the Samantha Koening memorial. This is where Samantha was last seen alive and the victim that ended Israel Coward Keyes able to kill again.

Have several locations where you can house homeless people in mass quantities is actually better like what the incoming Bronson administration is proposing will be better for Anchorage residents versus smaller shelters with no accountability who is coming and going. Large shelters you have to ability to offer serves to get them out of that situation. You can also have caseworkers manage each client through the existing non profits that are there now.
It is time to listen to the community councils and endorse the Bronson plan it is a solution. The real reason the Anchorage Assembly opposes this idea they did not think of it first.
Areas where homeless shelters are being considered
As you see most of it in the Midtown Community Council boundary.
