A misunderstanding angered some Independence Park area residents, who were led to believe that a homeless shelter was being built in their neighborhood.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - However, the nonprofit planning the housing development said that the facility is intended to house veterans.
“It was the wrong information that was passed on that created people’s opposition,” Nwankudu said. “When we explained to them that this is not a shelter, but a housing facility for veterans who have served this country in their prime and need our help now because they can’t make ends meet, they were satisfied.”show the planned complex for the 4.4 acre lot the organization owns.
Revive’s website was recently updated to state specifically that the project is not a homeless shelter. But the website also says the population served will be homeless veterans and seniors. Nwankudu said he understands the confusion. Homeless, in this case, can simply mean they are struggling to afford a home of their own.
