Anchorage Mayor Bronson says he will close Centennial Park Campground on Friday, locking the gate and the bathrooms, and shutting off electricity and water. The city hasn’t yet said where homeless people there will go.
The Anchorage Assembly, earlier this week,through December to meet the estimated demand. The $2.4 million package and approved contracts would fund a shelter at Sullivan Arena for 150 people and 85 rooms of leased housing at the city-owned former Golden Lion Hotel, and fund local private shelters to open up more beds, including Bean’s Cafe, which plans to open a 40-person shelter for men.
So far, no one with the city has told Cofey or others at Centennial where they should go on Friday. Homeless service providers aren’t exactly sure what to tell people either.Bean’s Cafe CEO Lisa Sauder is now rushing to get a Midtown building that the soup kitchen has been leasing prepped, furnished and ready to become a shelter facility. She’s been working with the health department to get all the right paperwork done, but the building still needs a fire safety inspection, she said.
She has a lot of big concerns right now – such as how Bean’s will continue to bring hot meals to campers in the food truck once the gate is closed. Sauder said she would be at Centennial again on Friday “figuring out the lay of the land” and how to keep feeding people, at least until shelters are opened. In a donation-based effort with no city support, Bean’s began delivering three meals a day to campers there shortly after the city directed homeless residents to stay there.
There are more than a dozern vehicles still in the campground. Some are broken down, appearing stripped for parts, with no wheels or missing a hood, windows and bumper. Others are still running, slept-in and driven by the campers who own them. It all seems like rumors to Christopher Vincent. He has been staying at Centennial to watch out for a female friend who is just “100 pounds soaking wet,” he said. He’ll stay there until she finds a place to go, he said.
