** American Lung Association in Alaska
------------------------------------------------------------
Strengthening Landlord/Tenant Relations
The American Lung Association in Alaska is working to improve client/landlord relations by reducing complaints regarding secondhand smoke exposure; reducing the risk of fires, which can keep people housed in their preferred locations; and protecting the health of residents, staff, and visitors by reducing secondhand smoke exposure and/or encouraging individuals to quit tobacco use.
They can help anywhere in the process - including resources for helping people quit or simply a sign saying they are smoke-free.

** United Way of Anchorage
------------------------------------------------------------
Restaurant and Hunger Relief Program
In the many months since it started in November of 2020, as community members, small businesses and restaurants were struggling, the Alaska Hospitality Retailers Association, the Municipality of Anchorage, and United Way of Anchorage created an innovative partnership to bring desperately needed revenue to Anchorage restaurants. The goals were to keep restaurant workers -- cooks, dishwashers, and delivery staff -- on the job, to keep restaurants purchasing food and supplies, and provide welcome meals to low-income families, children, youth, and seniors who are underserved and food insecure.
Between November 2020 and January 2022, the program provided more than 340,000 meals to children, youth, seniors, people experiencing disabilities, victims of domestic violence, and those seeking housing, jobs, and safe shelter. The impact of this project meant that many non-profits who participated were able to save funding and time to dedicate additional support for their participants during the demanding time of the COVID-19 pandemic.
A new opportunity: new funding for this program will allow us to select non-profit partners to receive meals once again. Funding through the Municipality of Anchorage will provide meals to organizations for several weeks in 2023. Dates and specific details are being developed now.
Who will be eligible? The United Way will be looking for sites that have on-location meal service that can distribute and ensure delivery or consumption to participants quickly. The meals are in individual take out containers that are subject to protocols for take-out service delivery. Meals are monitored for food safety. Recipient sites to be selected for this round will have between 20 to 150 people receiving either lunch or dinner each day. Meals may be provided between 1 and 5 days per week.
The United Way will also prioritize community locations that are serving low-income populations, people with disabling conditions and others who are in the community safety net services with fewer resources.
To receive a questionnaire to apply for participation in the project, please email the United Way at [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) .
Questions can be sent to Nancy Burke: [email protected] (mailto:[email protected])

Override the myths
The perception that homelessness is inevitable is not only false but dangerous: it justifies the avoidable suffering of vulnerable people. In a wealthy country like ours, there is nothing normal or inevitable about homelessness. Homelessness impacts less than 1% of our U.S. population — it is completely within our ability and means to end it. In fact, a growing number of communities are doing just that. Amplify the message that homelessness is solvable and challenge leaders in your community to end, not simply respond to, homelessness.
