Mat-Su Coalition on Housing and Homelessness

Mat-Su Coalition on Housing and Homelessness is a community-focused alliance working on housing and homelessness solutions in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. Its stated approach emphasizes sustainable, credible, collaborative, informed, proactive, and approachable community action.

A 2021 Homeless Needs Assessment, commissioned by the Mat-Su Health Foundation and conducted by Agnew::Beck Consulting, examined how homelessness presents across the borough’s expansive geography and limited infrastructure. The project gathered perspectives from service providers, educators, transportation providers, housing professionals, and people with lived experience. Its recommendations addressed coordination among providers, diversion, intake and referral systems, and supportive housing capacity.
