Twenty-nine people believed to be homeless have died outside in Anchorage so far in 2023, far surpassing last year’s grim record — with five months left to go in the year.
Camps are erected on both sides of Karluk Street near the Brother Francis Shelter on Thursday, July 27, 2023 in downtown Anchorage.
“That’s very unfortunate,” said Alexis Johnson, the city’s homeless coordinator, learning of the deaths for the first time Thursday. “Takes your breath away a little bit. It’s unacceptable.”
