Here is a compromise to the Bronson centralized shelter idea

 

Let's pretend members of the Anchorage Assembly have a brain cell they know how to use.  

With the exemption of Assembly District 1 where they are too many shelters and services have reached capacity in that district.  

 

Let's lower the capacity of the Centralized Anchorage Homeless Shelter turn it in more of a processing center where you were then ship them to other parts of town.  Municipality of Anchorage and Anchorage School District have property they are not using for any use what so ever.  

 

District 2 small shelter location would be located at Bartlett High School.  Require a vote of the Chugiak and Eagle River neighborhood before you put a small shelter in that region.  

 

District 3 location could be located at Lyn Ary Park and the Romig and West High School complex for a small shelter.  

 

Since the main processing center will be located in Assembly District 4 at Tudor and Elmore.  With some agreement with the University of Alaska Anchorage you could build a structure at Goose Lake Park and put some at Campbell Park in the south end.  

 

Assembly District 5 where I live you could put couple of small shelters at Arnold Muldoon Park, there is some land by Totem Theater close to where I live that would also work as long as there is a fence to the east end of this property.  You could also put some at Cheney Lake Park and some undeveloped land at Russian Jack Park. 

 

District 6 would be like District 2 where you would need a vote of Girdwood citizens before you put a shelter there.  Places where can put a shelter would be Johns Park, Undeveloped places in Ruth Arcand Park and Homestead Park.  

 

This is idea of a compromise to accept the main shelter idea by proposing small shelters all over Anchorage.
