It’s a bad convergence — cold weather, darkness and a growing need for shelter for vulnerable Alaskans — at a time when the pinch of inflation is making it more challenging for service providers to keep their doors open. As we head into the toughest part of the winter season, how well are services aimed at those experiencing homelessness keeping up with demand across the state and how can Alaskans help? We discuss extending a hand to those in need on Talk of Alaska.
