Seeking Shelter | Sitka, Alaska | 14 Miles

Comment question: Both Juneau and Ketchikan opened an emergency warming shelter in 2017. Do you think Sitka should follow suit?

Sitka does not have an overnight shelter for men. Gayle Young wants to change that. She and other members of the Sitka Housing Coalition are looking for a place where men can spend the winters nights. Temperatures are dropping and some Sitkans are without a place to sleep. We at 14Miles collaborated with Raven Radio (https://kcaw.org/) for their series "The Cost of Living in Sitka" to shed light on the growing need for shelter in Sitka.
