Mayor Dave Bronson said he plans to close the campground Friday, locking the gate and the restrooms and shutting off electricity and water. The city will begin moving homeless residents from the park and back to Sullivan Arena early Saturday morning.
On Monday, the Anchorage Assemblythrough December to meet the estimated demand. The $2.4 million package and approved contracts would fund a shelter at Sullivan Arena for 150 people and 85 rooms of leased housing at the city-owned former Golden Lion Hotel, and fund local private shelters to open up more beds, including Bean’s Cafe, which plans to open a 40-person shelter for men.
Bronson has through Tuesday to issue a veto of any part of the package, and it’s largely up to him whether the city will follow through and use the former Midtown hotel. On Wednesday, no one with the city had told Cofey or others at Centennial where they should go after the shutdown. Homeless service providers weren’t exactly sure what to tell people either.
She’s worried for the many Centennial campers who own pets, and who won’t be able to get into a shelter facility with an animal. She’s worried about how case managers, navigators and other homeless service agencies will be able to contact their clients once the electricity is turned off and they can’t charge their phones — and can’t call 911 for police or medical help.
