Salvation Army to take over homelessness management at Centennial Park
“The Salvation Army in Alaska will be taking over onsite management of client care at a northeast Anchorage campground that has been designated for homeless populations since late June, according to a statement from Mayor Dave Bronson’s administration.
‘Our goal is to come out and help identify any gaps, identify any needs, help those that are living out there in the campground or staying out at the campground, and how can we find them permanent housing? How can we find them treatment if they want treatment, or if it works out, and we can get them back to where they need to go, help them to make that happen,’ said Captain Kevin Pope from the Salvation Army Alaska Division.”
