Catholic Social Services and Downtown Hope Center are both increases the services they offer as the Sullivan Arena shelter prepares to close.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Shelters around Anchorage have started to prepare for an increased need for housing services as the Sullivan Arena shelter prepares to close its doors on Sunday for a majority of its clients.
“It’s kind of an all-hands-on-deck approach,” Rittenberg said. “So we have our case management teams down there trying to connect with people, making sure everyone’s on coordinated entry, anyone that is able to get connected to housing that we’re doing that. At complex care, we’re also taking a lot of referrals from the Sullivan Arena and making sure our xomplex care and Brother Francis Shelter, all our beds are filled.
“Some places that might be near camps, or in other places where people are congregated to make sure that we can get those people access to showers and some of those basic need services and then also to be able to bring them back to where they’re staying,” Rittenberg said. “We don’t want any women to be outside at night. It’s very dangerous for a female to be out there. Especially someone that’s traumatized, they can become victims very easy,” Laurie said.
