Alaska Homeless Crisis 2025 Anchorage Winter, Native Communities & 3,000 With Nowhere to Go

In the winter of 2025, Alaska entered the cold season with nearly 3,000 people experiencing homelessness in Anchorage alone in a state where -20°C, -30°C, even -40°C nights can turn “sleeping outside” into a life-or-death gamble. Each year, dozens of people are found dead in snow-covered tents, abandoned cars, or along dark trails on the edge of town. On paper, these are just winter statistics. On the ground, they are fathers, elders, Alaska Native women, and workers like Mark people who went from having a modest home, a truck, even a small boat… to lining up for soup in the lobby of an overcrowded shelter with no bed left for them inside. In this episode of Homeless Life Stories Alaska, we step into Anchorage’s frozen nights, where shelter lobbies turn into emergency dormitories and “no camping” rules push people further into the trees and onto highway shoulders, even when there is literally nowhere else to go. We follow the disproportionate impact on Alaska Native communities who make up 15% of the state’s population but more than 40% of its homeless, and we look at how Supreme Court decisions, highway “clean-ups,” climate change, and a boom-and-bust economy all collide to leave thousands with no safe place to sleep. From subzero encampment sweeps to mobile outreach teams handing out blankets and coffee in the dark, this video asks a simple question with a brutal edge: how can a land this vast and resource-rich still leave so many of its own people freezing outside? If you believe no one should have to sleep in minus-forty weather, please watch until the end, hit Like so the algorithm doesn’t bury these stories, leave a Comment (even just “I’m listening”), and Subscribe to Homeless Life Stories so the people surviving Alaska’s winter aren’t erased into another line of statistics.
