Anchorage, like many urban centers in the United States, faces housing affordability and shortages that have only deepened during the pandemic. It also poses unique issues such as exposure to cold and lack of funding, making it one of the city's most complex challenges. What policies, community advocacy, and community efforts can help amend this growing problem? Through our one-unit Winter Quarter class and our trip to Anchorage, Alaska, we will engage with issues disproportionately affecting marginalized communities, such as housing attainment and how legal representations intersects with race, gender, sexuality, disability, and more.​
