** COALITION SPOTLIGHT
------------------------------------------------------------

** Together, we did it!
------------------------------------------------------------
We started Next Step as a pilot to prove the concept of how working together, we could successfully house our neighbors coming out of homelessness.
It works! With support from case managers, landlords and funders, our Next Step housing collaboration is reaching the goal of housing 150 people in six months. That’s a person housed every 1.2 days! Most were staying in emergency cold weather shelter. Almost all — 96% — remain housed.

** Let’s collaborate on funding
------------------------------------------------------------
Our community will soon begin our collaborative application for the annual grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. This is our chance to grow our homelessness response and add housing!

** A community furniture bank

Do you have extra furniture taking up space? Consider a donation to Shiloh Community Housing. The organization has stepped up to open Anchorage’s first furniture bank.
“Shiloh aims to collect, inspect, and provide this furniture free of charge to those in need,” the organization says.
