HOUSTON, Texas - An in-depth investigation into the homeless crisis in Anchorage led reporters at Alaska’s News Source to the Lone Star State in search of answers. Many city leaders consider Houston, Texas, a model community when it comes to finding solutions to homelessness.that both cities share a similar number of homeless residents, but Houston consistently receives much more in federal funding to help its homelessness crisis.
“In my situation, I’m a widower and I lost my wife,” Nickles said. “I went into a depression, a deep depression.” Dempsey has been living in her apartment just outside of Houston in Conroe, Texas, for the past five years. Before that, she said she spent a year and a half in the woods, camped out in a tent.
“I have a place to live, and see my plants growing,” Dempsey said. “I have Rosey here, go and make dinner. Sit and go to sleep and not have to worry that somebody is going to come and hurt you, or sleeping under a bridge.”In Anchorage, officials recently announced that in 2024, the city will haveready for people to move in. But, unlike Houston’s leaders, Anchorage Mayor Dave Bronson says permanent housing should not be the city’s responsibility.
The mayor says the municipality must focus on the crisis and finish the navigation center at the corner of Tudor Road and Elmore Road. Anchorage has seen 29 confirmed outdoor deaths this year, already breaking the calendar year record. Bronson says a large shelter and navigation center would reduce the risks.
