Let's do the smart thing and invest in housing.
"Trying to sustain emergency shelter for thousands of Alaskans throughout the state without pathways to affordable housing isn’t working, and it’s costing millions of dollars that do little more than repeat cycles of trauma and instability. " — Meg Zaletel and Brian Wilson

URGENT: The White House has ordered a temporary pause on all federal grant, loan and financial assistance disbursements, effective 5:00 p.m. EST today, January 28. This puts life-saving programs for vulnerable Americans at risk, and staff—many facing homelessness themselves—may lose pay. Services could be paused.
We need Congress to act NOW and speak out. YOUR voice matters—tell Congress how even a short-term disruption would impact your community.
