Clients at the shelter say they are concerned about at the at-risk population, who still do not have a place to go to at the end of the month. Even with rising temperatures during the day, weather at night is still concerning to many.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The Sullivan Arena’s congregate shelter is set to close at the end of April. But the arena serves a number of clients who have additional health concerns that would make leaving the shelter difficult — or even dangerous.Assembly members Felix Rivera, Christopher Constant and Daniel Volland announced
“Sad to say, even in here, the vulnerable people get taken advantage of. But not to the extreme that they would out there. If they were out there, the elements, then other people and then the streets themselves would eat them alive,” client Chris Jenkins said. “The days might be nice, when you see the sunshine and dry parking lots, but at night when it gets down to 27 degrees, that’s below freezing,” client Robert Thomas said.
