In a preliminary report released Friday, Anchorage’s Emergency Shelter Task Force narrowed down future shelter locations to two preferred options that members feel will be the least disruptive to the community and can be occupied quickly.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska -
The second option is the Dempsey-Anderson Ice Arena on West Northern Lights Boulevard. The report says the arena could hold between 240 and 260 people if used as an emergency shelter. “So for right now they’re saying, let’s again decimate the ice skating community and utilize that as a solution to a long-term problem. That’s not the solution,” Thompson said. “All it’s going to do create a problem for all the user groups.”
“The Anchorage Hockey Association understands that the Municipality needs more low barrier homeless beds this winter for the safety of our citizens,” Carey said through a statement. “We also believe that municipal facilities like the Spenard Rec Center and the Dempsey-Anderson Ice Rink are essential for the health and connectedness in our community.
