Homelessness
Services

Thousands of people experience homelessness on any given day in Anchorage. And each day, hundreds of them take shelter in a CSS Shelter. Brother Francis Shelter, Clare House, and Complex Care are more than just emergency shelters for adults and families. Behavioral Health Services case managers work around the clock to help people transition out of homelessness and toward permanent stability.

How We Shelter Our Neighbors

Case Management Services

Behavior Health Services case managers provide trauma-informed care and critical time intervention to clients and clinicians work directly with individuals and families to help them overcome obstacles to permanent stability.
