The task forces are being created before the end of the month, when three Anchorage emergency homeless shelters will close.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Two resolutions were passed Tuesday by the Anchorage Assembly to help alleviate anticipated issues with homeless populations and to deal with specific needs for those individuals.
These task forces are being created prior to April 30, the date in which a large number of homeless individuals from the Sullivan Arena, Aviator Hotel and Alex Hotel will hit the streets after those locations close. Rivera hopes the first task force will help mitigate the issue in the immediate future, while establishing a long-term solution to figure out what municipal resources can go towards helping behavioral health.
