Supporters — including Assembly Members Randy Sulte and Kevin Cross — hope the center will be completed in time for next winter at the intersection of Tudor Road and Elmore Road.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A resolution brought in front of the Anchorage Assembly on Tuesday is the latest effort by Mayor Dave Bronson to continue building a navigation shelter on the eastern side of town.
“If we don’t do something, we’re going to end up back at the Sullivan Arena and I think that neighborhood has already suffered enough,” Sulte said. “I’d like to get the Sullivan back into the hands of the public to use it for its intended purpose.”“One of our best and most economical options at this point, a purposed built facility ... so I’m putting forward what was last agreed upon, so it has a 150 capacity with a surge capacity of 250 and the associated navigation center,” Sulte said.
Currently, the project has no funding source. Sulte hopes to use part of the 2022 general fund budget surplus to finish the navigation center — estimated to cost around $7 million.Assembly Member Felix Rivera has been working with Anchorage’s Sanctioned Camps Community Task Force to find solutions for the homeless in the city in the mean time as large number of individuals are now staying in unsanctioned camps around Anchorage.
