Next Step is a collaborative pilot project to house 150 people by the end of April 2024, moving individuals from Anchorage emergency cold weather shelter into housing. Supportive services will help people stabilize and begin a new chapter in life.

Anchorage is taking part in an initiative exploring how healthcare systems can help reduce and end chronic homelessness. Our goal is to make measurable progress toward ending chronic homelessness, with a focus on healthcare & equity.

A clear path forward to increase housing and services for those experiencing homelessness in Anchorage. The public-private partnership agreed on an approach with smaller, geographically distributed facilities tailored to specific needs.
