With year-round shelters at capacity and no plans in place for a city-run campground, some people don’t know where they will stay this summer.
On Monday, April 15, the last night before Juneau’s warming shelter closed, a man who gave the name Mikey said he and his partner did not know where they would go next.
“I carry close to 50 pounds of stuff in my backpack. He’s walking with his walker with three hip surgeries,” he said. “We really don’t see any good options — any, frankly — for the campground at this point,” Deputy City Manager Robert Barr said. Assemblymember Alicia Hughes-Skandijs said she will be pushing for the city to find a solution that isn’t dispersed camping.
“We donʼt have a good campground option,” he said. “And so we’re going to ‘camp where you can,ʼ which most cities have. And we’re going to monitor it.”
