An Anchorage task force is trying to help those dealing with complex behavioral health issues, many of whom are currently dealing with some form of housing insecurity — and little to no access to the care they need.
The task force met with the Anchorage Assembly Friday morning and provided a list or recommendations for improving complex behavior health services.
The recommendation suggested that if necessary, the municipality could fund a position and utilize the team at the Anchorage Health Department for implementation. The recommendation suggested that individuals dealing with housing security and complex behavioral health care needs may not be enrolled in healthcare coverage, and may be living in homeless camps in the community. Providing mobile outreach will help connect them with the care they need.
