From the transcript
We have been very focused specifically on the people who are unsheltered in Anchorage and have been working to see a reduction in that number. This year's Point-in-Time Count shows a 28% reduction in unsheltered homelessness compared to last year. That is fewer people sleeping in our public spaces, fewer people susceptible to our cold winter nights, and fewer people unsafe in our community. This is good news, but the problem is not solved and there is still more work to do. The ultimate goal is to have accessible housing options for all Anchorage residents.
