While the previously discussed deadline for the Municipality of Anchorage to transition emergency homeless services out of the Sullivan Arena has been June, Mayor Dave Bronson's administration says it's aiming for this spring.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - On Tuesday an email surfaced from Dave D’Amato, the deputy director of the Anchorage Health Department, saying the department is going to close down the emergency shelter at the Sullivan Arena this spring, catching some Anchorage Assembly members by surprise.“We are working diligently with our partners to reconfigure Anchorage’s homeless response, and we will be closing the Sullivan as a congregate homeless shelter in the spring.
“The goal for the administration has always been to demobilize the Sullivan Arena and restore it to its sole purpose of Anchorage Hockey and event space,” wrote Corey Allen Young in an email. “With the work conducted through the facilitated working group, the goal remains to find a compassionate approach to housing the homeless, to include a new navigation center and specialized centers .
“I think spring is optimistic,” Weddleton said. “There may be people shooting for that and if we can get out before June I’m totally good with that, and I will not get in the way of that at all. I think that’s optimistic, but we’ll see.” “There are five planks in the facilitated process,” assembly member Felix Rivera said. “Rather than having that $15 million go to just one of those planks, dividing it into three of the planks, and there was a lot of discussion around that and that amendment was approved.”
