Virtual Advocacy Day 2026
Join the Alaska Coalition on Housing and Homelessness and the Anchorage Coalition to End Homelessness for the 2026 Alaska Housing & Homelessness Advocacy Day, a virtual convening focused on how Alaska’s coordinated systems work together to prevent and respond to homelessness statewide.
This year’s Advocacy Day highlights the Continuums of Care (CoCs) as system builders and coordinators, ensuring public investments are used strategically, responsibly, and effectively to support Alaskans across urban, hub, and rural communities.
Together, we’ll explore shared legislative priorities, cross-system connections, and Alaska’s role in national housing and homelessness efforts.
