Assembly leaders say that Anchorage is getting a fraction of the funding per capita that other American cities with similar homeless populations are receiving.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The cities of Anchorage, Alaska, and Houston, Texas, may not be close in total population, but new data shows a similar number of homeless residents in both cities.

“The reality is we’re being starved for resources where other communities are being supported, and we’re being asked to solve the state’s problems without any outside help,” Constant said. The existing federal formula that determines how much funding Anchorage receives prioritizes total population, poverty rates, and units of housing, according to a resolution passed by the Anchorage Assembly Tuesday. The resolution reads, in part, that the formula “produced pre-1940 does not accurately reflect the realities confronting Anchorage.”
