On Tuesday, the Assembly approved a 326 thousand dollar budget amendment to extend operations at the Sullivan Arena homeless shelter through May 31st for unhouse residents with physical or behavioral health issues. Alaska’s news source reports the shelter has been winding down operations since the assembly approved an April 30th closure plan; however, advocates noted the dangers posed to forcing vulnerable clients out of the shelter too soon.
