A former hotel in Midtown Anchorage that the city bought more than two years ago is weeks away from reopening as low-income housing.
The operation isn’t expected to rely on ongoing funding from the city. Seay said the tenants will pay their rent of about $800 a month through a combination of work, housing vouchers or other benefits they receive.
Seay said Monday they have 17 people ready to move in. He expects all 80 available rooms will fill quickly. Henning is taking referrals through theprocess, which service agencies use to prioritize housing opportunities for the most vulnerable people. “It’s time, you know?” Seay said. “We’ve been working with these individuals for the last three years. You know, a lot of people that have made that transition from shelter that are ready for housing, and so we’re looking forward to continue to work with them through this process.”
Julia Terry and Veri di Suvero protest in favor of a controversial city plan to purchase properties, including the Best Western Golden Lion, to use as homeless services, housing and treatment sites on July 27, 2020.
