The Housing Continuum: Building A Vibrant Community

Anchorage faces a shortage of diverse housing options that are affordable for many of its residents. Ensuring citizens of all income levels, abilities, and phases of life have access to safe, quality, and affordable housing is critical to achieving a vibrant, economically thriving city that residents desire to live in for the long-term. In 2019 Alaska Common Ground hosted a 3-part series and discussed the latest findings on Anchorage’s housing needs—for today and the future—with a focus on workforce, senior, supportive, and low-income housing.
