"homelessness"

People who witnessed Monday’s deadly police shooting in downtown Juneau are carrying a lot of emotions — anger, confusion and grief, to name a few.

Mariya Lovishchuk says she won’t be in charge anymore, but she’s not going anywhere.

The city’s deputy manager says the public impact is going to be significant wherever the campground is.

Service providers say 163 people have used the new warming shelter since October.

The hospital’s funding will go toward staffing, training and infrastructure for adolescent behavioral health crisis services and Housing First’s grant will help pay for new supportive housing units.

Right now, the city says it does not have a viable alternative for the cold weather shelter. Its last-ditch option is a decommissioned city bus.

As city leaders continue to negotiate with the church, they’re considering an alternative: a Capital Transit bus.

Juneau’s housing crunch usually worsens in the spring as seasonal workers make their way to town. But this year, a local housing provider says the situation is scary.  

The point-in-time count measures both sheltered and unsheltered homelessness. It can also be a chance for people to access services for the first time.

The campground above the cruise ship docks is for people experiencing homelessness in Juneau. It closes for the winter every year, leaving the people who stay there to decide where to go next.
