** Point-in-Time Count set for late January
------------------------------------------------------------
From January 28-30, our community will conduct the annual Point-in-Time Count to better understand homelessness in Anchorage. This survey asks where our unhoused neighbors spent the night of January 27, capturing data from those staying outdoors, in shelters, and other locations like hospital emergency rooms or warming centers.
The count helps monitor trends and guide solutions, with input from partners like AmeriCorps, Covenant House Alaska and the Anchorage Downtown Partnership. This year, we’re also asking those staying outdoors why they weren’t in a shelter.

** Homelessness in Anchorage: January 2025 update
------------------------------------------------------------
Homelessness in Anchorage has increased by 143 people since November 2023, driven by rising rent costs and slower housing exits. However, many in supported housing are thriving, showing the impact of rapid rehousing programs.
Cold weather shelters are also saving lives, providing emergency beds for 389 people in November.
