January 29 declared Homeless Awareness Day in Anchorage by Mayor Sullivan

January 29 has been declared Homeless Awareness Day in Anchorage by Municipality of Anchorage Mayor Dan Sullivan.

Project Homeless Connect Anchorage is also being held today at the Egan Center.

This event  is a one-day, one-stop event to provide housing, services, and hospitality in a convenient one-stop model directly to people experiencing homelessness in Anchorage.

It is a way to bring service providers, government agencies, and the general community together to address a problem that affects everyone. The goal is to move from simply managing homelessness towards really ending it.
