On Tuesday, the Anchorage Assembly reinstated funding in the 2023 city budget that downtown shelter says it needs to make its recent increase to 120 beds permanent.
The Anchorage Assembly has voted to override threelast month by Mayor Dave Bronson that cut about $1.2 million for homeless services at Brother Francis Shelter from next year’s city budget.
The Assembly’s reinstatement of the $1.2 million means that the nonprofit-owned shelter in downtown Anchorage will make permanent its recent increase to the number of people it can shelter, up from 72 to 120. Bronson’s chief of staff, Adam Trombley, said the mayor supports the work of Brother Francis and supports funding it. However, he vetoed the Assembly’s change to the budget because of its language seemed to require the shelter to expand its capacity, Trombley said.
