Meal service is provided for those in the arena, but the city says it only has funding to last until January.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The Municipality of Anchorage’s budget for homeless services is stretched thin following increases in the number of homeless residents staying at the Sullivan Arena.
But as the number of Sullivan Arena dwellers increases, so do the number of hungry stomachs. During the last meeting, the Anchorage Assembly board approved up to a million dollars in funding to be used towards emergency cold sheltering, but it may not be enough.Right now, the city is working with two main food providers, Henning Incorporated and Little Miss Cafe. Those businesses provide both breakfast and dinner for the clients at the Sullivan Arena.
According to an earlier report by Bean’s Cafe, it would cost just $15 a day to provide three meals per person. If all 360 people at the Sullivan were fed using similar pricing, the shelter would only be able to provide 18 days worth of meals for the arena.
