One thing we are always asked: What causes homelessness? Many factors play a role but there's one primary driver: A lack of affordable housing. For every 100 Alaska households that are extremely low income, there are only 36 affordable units. Two thirds of households with low incomes spend more than half of what they bring in on housing. That's the bottom-line message presented to legislators this week by Jessica Parks with the Anchorage Coalition to End Homelessness and Brian Wilson with the Alaska Coalition on Housing and Homelessness.

Youth in action in Alaska's capital! Young adults working to improve homelessness response across Alaska have gathered in Juneau for a youth convening. Youth Action Board members are making connections, building leadership skills and gaining first-hand advocacy experience. Their voices are strong so listen up! Asked why communities need Youth Action Boards, they jotted down ready answers: "Adults like to ignore youth." "This changes the way policies are written and acted upon." "We need to make sure the policies and procedures we implement help youth and function as intended." They are pictured at Sealaska Plaza with staff from the Anchorage Coalition to End Homelessness, the Alaska Coalition on Housing and Homelessness, and Covenant House Alaska. Thank you to the youth members for stepping up and to Sealaska Corp. for hosting the group! #YouthActionBoard #YouthConvening #YABBERS
