## Resource

In Anchorage, the Good Neighbor Fund is turning homelessness around—one life at a time. This city-backed initiative, fueled by donations and managed with flexibility, provides urgent aid like food, shelter, and travel to help people rebuild. Since launching in November, it’s already lifted nearly 300 individuals, including Azalia Izenhart, who went from living in an impounded RV to stable transitional housing—with case managers helping her pursue disability benefits. The fund has spent $90K, with $95K still available, and nearly $65K has gone toward housing. The results? A 30% drop in people sleeping outdoors. Outreach workers empower residents to make moves—whether that’s relocating to family or accessing services—offering real hope and community.
