Summary

Anchorage’s winter homelessness dropped dramatically, with 291 unsheltered people counted — down 28% from last year — thanks to aggressive outreach, new shelter beds, and crackdowns on camping. Mayor Suzanne LaFrance called it a win for public safety, but officials warn demand still far outpaces supply, with shelters full and a $2.4 million gap to meet winter needs.
