The administration of Mayor Suzanne LaFrance says an Anchorage Health Department investigation into homeless shelter contractor Henning Inc. completed in the final days of the previous administration was flawed and inadequate — but won’t be redone.
The cold weather shelter in the former Solid Waste Services administration building was expected to reach full capacity of 200 clients on Thursday, May 30, 2024.
Henning executives said the messages had been taken out of context, and defended their operation of the shelter. The investigation failed to include interviews with all relevant people, was missing context, and included findings “unsupported by the record,” among other deficiencies, the memo from the LaFrance administration officials said.
