From the transcript

After discussions with the community, meetings with the assembly and public commissions, True North has revised their proposal. I'll let them go into the details, but they are now proposing outpatient services and administrative office space to be co-located with Access Alaska. There will be no crisis services provided out of that facility. We all know that we still need more crisis care, behavioral health resources, and access to treatment. True North plans to purchase a mobile crisis command vehicle to provide these services wherever they are needed, and they will continue to work with shelter providers and other community partners to deliver crisis care in existing facilities, and this will benefit all of Anchorage.
