ACEH data: 3,004 people experiencing homelessness in Anchorage; American Indian/Alaska Native residents overrepresented
Summary
A March 31, 2025 data snapshot presented to the Assembly Housing and Homelessness Committee shows 3,004 people actively experiencing homelessness in Anchorage, heavy shelter utilization and a continued overrepresentation of American Indian/Alaska Native people among those counted.
Jessica Parks, ACEH data presenter, told the Assembly Housing and Homelessness Committee that Anchorage had 3,004 people actively experiencing homelessness as of March 31, 2025.
Parks said the count uses the coalition’s public dashboard and data from the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). "So starting at the top, this is data that's current as of 03/31/2025. At the March ... we had 3,004 people actively experiencing homelessness here in Anchorage," she said.
The data snapshot breaks the total into subpopulations and housing status. Parks said 2,130 were single adults, 272 were unaccompanied or transition-age youth (18–24) and 602 were people in families. She told the committee that shelter and transitional housing capacity was running at 100% utilization and that 733 people were set to go inactive after 90 days without a recorded contact with a provider.
