Tom Barrett and Belinda Breaux will no longer serve as facilitators for a group aimed at bridging a path forward for Anchorage’s homeless population.
In April, the facilitated group learned that the proposed navigation center on Tudor and Elmore was going to be finished in November, not June.
The group soon struggled to find common ground according to Barrett and Breaux, and that’s when they decided to leave. Anchorage assembly member Kameron-Perez Verdia was a part of the group and said he wanted to see more transparency from the mayor’s administration. Mayor Dave Bronson’s spokesperson Corey Allen-Young provided Alaska’s News Source with a statement regarding Bronson’s administration’s involvement with the group and addressing homelessness in Anchorage.
