The South Anchorage building would house between 20 to 40 homeless individuals.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The special task force designated by the Anchorage Assembly to target five locations around Anchorage for sanctioned homeless camps has determined a potential spot for South Anchorage.In South Anchorage, known as District 6, there is a building that the city is calling Section 11. It’s a structure designed to house the most vulnerable homeless people.“I’m a very aware person and I hadn’t heard a word about it until today,” said Vince Spezialy, who owns a nearby business.
“It’s sitting partially empty and it’s muni-owned,” Storm said. “So the idea there was that the residents of our city requiring the most services ... they could be located there.”
