Anchorage Mayor Dave Bronson has vetoed several funding items in the federal relief spending package approved by the Assembly, including a veto of more than $11.8 million for purchasing low-income and supportive housing units.
last week in a supermajority vote, directing $51 million in federal relief to projects that prioritized long-term efforts to support housing, children and families, economic development and workforce development. It was the city’s second and final round of federal COVID-19 relief dollars from the American Rescue Plan Act.
At last week’s meeting, Assembly members identified the Aptel Studio Hotel in North Anchorage as the likely building for purchase and conversion into low-income and supportive housing units. “Additionally, having a 3rd party non-profit manage these taxpayer funds is a policy the Administration does not support,” Bronson said in the veto.
