The Alaska Community Foundation invites you to join us as we explore and discuss “Housing First” on Thursday April 10th from 4:30pm to 6:00pm in Anchorage, Alaska. “Housing First” is the service treatment model based on the concept that a homeless individual or family’s primary need is housing and that by providing housing, service providers are better able to reach their target audiences. Come show your support for your community.

This Conversation About Causes That Matter is part of the Recover Alaska Media Project. Support for these conversations comes from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and Recover Alaska. To learn more about Recover Alaska, visit their website or follow them on social media with #RecoverAK.

Invited guest panelists include Melinda Freeman (RurAL CAP), Jerry Jenkins (Anchorage Community Mental Health Services, Inc), Darrell Hess (Municipal Ombudsman) and Mark Lessard (Anchorage Safety Patrol & Center)

This community is open to the public and free. A live webcast of the conversation is also available for those who are unable to attend in-person. Call-in/webinar information will be emailed to you the day prior to the event.

Event will be held at The Philanthropy Hub, located at 3201 C Street, Suite #110 Anchorage, Alaska.
