The Housing and Homelessness Committee focuses on legislative, policy, and resource allocation matters related to housing and homelessness in Anchorage. The committee serves as a key public interface for the Assembly on issues surrounding homelessness and affordable housing, providing a platform for community input and collaboration.
Specific topics include:
- Development and evaluation of housing policies and strategies
- Legislative and policy matters related to homelessness
- Allocation of municipal resources for housing and homelessness
- Coordination with community-based organizations involved in affordable housing and homelessness
The committee works closely with municipal departments such as the Anchorage Health Department, Parks and Recreation, and the Anchorage Police Department. It also engages with the Mayor's Office, including the Homeless Coordinator, to align efforts and address community needs.
The committee provides a forum for bringing community ideas and feedback on homelessness to the Assembly, and it works on potential legislation and policy issues, collaborating with the Assembly, the administration, and the public before presenting proposals for consideration by the full Assembly
