'Right now there’s no forcible push to say, ‘Hey, you have a better place to go,’” said the muni's Alexis Johnson, as some homeless people remain at Centennial Park and the Anchorage Assembly weighs winter shelter options beyond the Sullivan Arena.
More than 100 homeless people are staying in the Sullivan Arena shelter in Anchorage, following the closure of the Centennial Campground on Saturday. “We know that there are still about 100 people that are still at Centennial that know that they don’t want to go to the Sullivan,” Johnson said. “And right now there’s no forcible push to say, ‘Hey, you have a better place to go.’”Anchorage homeless coordinator Alexis Johnson during a special Assembly meeting on Oct. 3, 2022.
Johnson says overall, the move from Centennial to Sullivan Arena went well, with campers lined up as soon as buses arrived to transport them Saturday morning. The Assembly’s emergency shelter plan includes having Sullivan Arena serve as a shelter for a maximum of 150 people and using the former Golden Lion building for housing in up to 85 rooms.
