Elections Overview and Candidate Introduction

Each year we ask our membership to vote on new members to fill open seats on the Advisory Council, which oversees and governs the Homeless Prevention and Response System. Elections for open seats on the Advisory Council are determined by a vote of members of the Continuum of Care of Anchorage.

The Advisory Council shall be comprised of members from the nonprofit, private, and government sectors, relevant organizations, and those representing projects servicing homeless subpopulations and the general community within the Municipality. Advisory Council Members shall serve until they resign, are removed or their successors are qualified and elected There are no term limits for Councilors.

For more information on what is expected from Councilors, please read the Advisory Council Job Description.
