S4:E10 – What is Possible?: Digging Through The Archives For Some Anchorage Homeless History

Driving through the through Anchorage it’s nearly impossible to not see our unhoused neighbors.

To answer that question I dove into the Anchorage Daily News archives and began looking for the first reference to homelessness as we understand it today.

What I found was interesting.
