The Bronson administration and Assembly submitted a joint request to the Legislature for $25 million to fund more shelter beds and housing options.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - When it comes to tackling homeless issues in Anchorage, Mayor Dave Bronson and the Anchorage Assembly agree on one thing: The state should provide more funding to help with homeless resources.
Anchorage Assembly Housing and Homelessness Committee Chair Felix Rivera said the Assembly as a whole hasn’t voted on the purchase, but he believes the Rec Center has a lot to offer. A spokesperson for Mayor Bronson said the mayor is still committed to the proposed East Anchorage navigation center at Tudor and Elmore roads. As for the Arctic Rec Center, spokesperson Hans Rodvik said the mayor’s office foresees future difficulties with bringing it online.
