S4:E10 – What is Possible?: Digging Through The Archives For Some Anchorage Homeless History

The AnchorED City

Driving through the through Anchorage it’s nearly impossible to not see our unhoused neighbors. In light of our current situation I wondered how long Anchorage has had people experiencing homelessness. To answer that question I dove into the Anchorage Daily News archives and began looking for the first reference to homelessness as we understand it today.

What I found was interesting.
