In Anchorage a 150-bed shelter opened on Oct. 31 in an unused municipal building. It was supposed to be the final piece of Anchorage’s emergency shelter plan for this winter. But less than a month into the winter shelter season, there’s a waitlist with about 1,000 people on it. Jeremy Hsieh has this story.
