Residents were given eviction notices by the Municipality of Anchorage due to the water system they rely upon not being up to code.
At the meeting, Forest Park residents shared a history of the park’s water situation as well as personal testimony. Listening to the stories were representatives of various government and community organizations, including the Anchorage Assembly, Affordable Housing and Land Trust and NeighborWorks.
Kevin Cross of the Anchorage Assembly also said he would recommend to the Municipality that residents of the Forest Park Trailer Court not be evicted until the task force completes its work. “What am I going to do? You know, if they decide to close the park down and evict us, you know, and make us move out,” Velez said. “It just is stressful, I got enough stress with my health issues to worry about where I’m going to live.”
“Everybody gets along with and nobody’s had problems with that. It’s really a good park and ... it’s not so, you know, fast. It’s quieter out here,” Esguerra said.
