Anchored Home

Homelessness is a pervasive problem across the country. In Anchorage, it has become more visible and more concerning to the community. Yet there is ample reason for hope. We are pushing ahead on promising solutions with a fresh sense of urgency. Anchored Home, Anchorage’s Strategic Plan to Solve Homelessness: 2018-2021 is a three-year tactical road map that draws on new tools and strategies while building on the community’s existing work and planning. The goal is to ensure homelessness in Anchorage is a rare, brief, and one-time event.

The plan serves as an update to the 2015 Anchorage Strategic Plan to End Homelessness and includes input from service providers, funders, and thousands of community members. Within Anchored Home are 4 key pillars, each of which includes concrete actions and timelines to address homelessness, they are Prevention & Diversion, Housing & Supports, Public Health & Safety, and Advocacy and Funding.

A core element of Anchored Home is transparent and frequent engagement with the Anchorage community. Anchored Home is a community plan that requires community voices.
