Juneau Residents Forced Out Ahead of Winter

On November thirteenth, over a dozen people experiencing homelessness in Juneau, Alaska, are being forced to leave their encampment due to winter maintenance and safety concerns. The citys eviction notice has caused frustration and uncertainty, as the area is Juneaus largest unhoused encampment and many residents rely on its proximity to social services. Some campers are reluctant to leave, having invested time and effort into making their temporary homes livable. The city views the shelter as a last resort, and Saint Vincent de Paul will offer a meal and earlier shelter opening for those displaced. Officers plan to arrive at eight AM on Friday to ask people to leave, with belongings being disposed of by nine AM. The city will continue to monitor the area to prevent new encampments from forming.
