Morning FastCast Oct. 30, 2023ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Workers on Monday were setting up cots in the garage of the former Solid Waste Services administrative building in Midtown Anchorage that will serve as Anchorage’s first large winter shelter.
Anchorage Housing and Homeless Coordinator Alexis Johnson said many of the beds are already spoken for by people who are on a waiting list that is hundreds of names long. Others will be offered to people staying at three small homeless camps the city plans to abate Tuesday morning. Johnson said some of the people who are prioritized have pets. The shelter can take in between 10 to 15 dogs. She said no other types of pets, including cats, will be allowed.
