The Anchorage Assembly has voted to fund a $2.4 million plan to provide emergency winter shelter or housing for three months for about 350 people who are homeless and living unsheltered in the city.

for emergency shelter from Oct. 1 through the next 90 days. The committee then came to a consensus on the plan, which members have now voted to fund.

For two years, the city used Sullivan Arena as a COVID-19 mass homeless shelter, until Bronson closed it at the end of June. The administration directed and bused dozens of homeless people who had been staying there to live in Centennial Park Campground in East Anchorage. Around 200 people now live there.

“We need to house these folks soon. Winter is here, especially if you’re outside only,” said resident Emily Creely. “People who are houseless are human beings. They are neighbors. Please put the use of the Golden Lion back into play. It’s needed. Everything is needed. To anyone opposing the use of existing structures being converted into shelters, I beg you see these people as your neighbors. Helping them makes our community stronger, not weaker.

Assembly member Allard, who opposed the sheltering plan, said homeless residents could choose to go to a high-barrier shelter with open beds.

'....... Because that's their choice, and it's America, and they can decide what they want to decide' I never expected Allard to be pro-choice!

How fair is it that nine f’ing people make this kind of a decision? Too much money is being wasted on this homeless crisis. Thought there was an abandoned prison out in the Valley that could house these vagrants. WTF! This makes me sick at Felix.

Not as if they had months to I.D these people and get them involved in programs to help them improve their situation - as opposed to making it a political 'I don't know' issue. The city and state ned to invest More in it's residents, not just it's tax free donation campaigns.

Mayor Eric Adams joins relief team in Puerto Rico to help with Hurricane Fiona responseMayor Eric Adams is in Puerto Rico today to join a hurricane relief team from several city agencies. Where is Joe? What an absolute douche. Imagine the resources wasted transporting him there and having to protect him while he’s there for his photo op that could have been used to actually help people that need it. Meanwhile people in NY commit violent crimes and are part of the no bail, catch and release plan. No big deal. Mayor Adams has a photo opp. Presidential aspirations!

Mayor Lightfoot's Chicago: 11 Shot Friday into Saturday Morning AloneEleven people were shot, four of them fatally, Friday into Saturday morning alone in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago. The problem is sin, the only cure is Jesus Christ. Politicians can not save us, governments can not save us. No other name, but Jesus Christ alone can save us. He is coming back for His own, time is running out, believe and be saved. Rapture JesusSaves 7YearTribulation What's all the fuss! Sounds to me like an absolutly normal day in the shooting gallery previosly known as Chicago. If 11 people were shot in a grocery store it would be national news but 11 people all over the city...that’s just another day in Chicago. The most MSM will talk about this is a 27 second blurb before they talk about the Ukraine if we even get that.

At least 2 killed in Wildwood during ‘hectic’ pop-up H2oi car rally, mayor saysThe mayor of Wildwood said Saturday night's pop-up car rally remains under investigation. This was chaos! Why didn’t Gov who found it so important to send 150 state troopers to Puerto Rico, didn’t activate the national guard. Lots of manpower and tons of vehicles. The rest of the country could have covered those 150 troops that we OBVIOUSLY needed here. The residents of all these towns deserved better! They “could have” gotten better. Murphy was called! Now look back and see what he DIDNT do! Review his response and lack of action! Too much to list for 1 tweet! Not enough letters available to describe his APATHY! this activity doesn’t belong on normal streets! Do your donuts, spin outs etc on a track or open area that is designed for it ! you and your H20i organizations would have much more fun without causing destruction to a family town. so sorry that Wildwood had to deal with this
