Housing 1st, Not Housing Only
When housed, people have a platform to address all their needs, no matter how complex. People are most successful when housing is paired with personalized voluntary services.
What causes homelessness?
Learn about the main reasons people lose their housing on the National Alliance to End Homelessness website.
Different housing definitions:
Transitional Housing
Transitional housing is time-limited and associated with a defined program.
Stable Housing
Stable housing, as quickly as possible, is the goal for everyone experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless. Hundreds more units are needed, along with consistent services to maintain stability.
Permanent Supportive Housing
Combines low-barrier affordable housing, health care, and supportive services for highly vulnerable people who otherwise would be unable to maintain housing stability.
“Community partnership and collaboration is key to making homelessness in Anchorage rare, brief and one-time.”
– Meg Zaletel, executive director of the Anchorage Coalition to End Homelessness
