Agreement on an Anchorage pilot program to provide permanent housing for homeless people, Bronson team onboard

With virtually every major stakeholder in the room and apparently on the same page, the Anchorage Coalition to End Homelessness unveiled a pilot program to move 150 people from emergency winter shelters into permanent housing in April.  The money is there, the Assembly and Mayor Bronson are supportive and a team from Houston, Texas is in town to advise.  

That's because Houston is seen by many as a shining example of how to create a collaborative approach to moving people from the streets to housing with a laser focus on that single issue.  We talk about the challenges still facing the Anchorage version of the Houston model.
