Anchorage Mayor Dave Bronson on Tuesday vetoed city money to permanently increase capacity at the Brother Francis shelter — and now says he wants to fund it with a grant.
Anchorage Mayor Dave Bronson listens during an Anchorage Assembly meeting on July 12, 2022.
Midtown Anchorage Assembly member Felix Rivera said the Brother Francis shelter, which is operated by Catholic Social Services, usually has a capacity of 75 people. Then in July, the Assembly gave it funding to operate at a surge capacity of 120. The funding vetoed by Bronson would’ve made the surge capacity permanent.
In a video statement on Wednesday, a day after he announced the vetoes, Bronson said he’d direct the Anchorage Health Department to prepare a grant agreement with Brother Francis staff to get them the funding they requested.
