100 Days by the Numbers

As of this week, the LaFrance administration has been hard at work for more than 100 days. Of course, it's what we've done with the days that counts. By the numbers, here's the action we've taken:

  • One budget delivered to the Assembly
  • $2.39 million to put toward winter homelessness solutions from proposed sale
    of Sprung Structure
  • $3.75 million in snow equipment funded, including ten 4x4 pickups with plows
    and three graders
  • 8 new attorneys hired in the Municipal Attorney's office, including 4 in prosecution
  • 9 encampments abated to address public safety concerns
  • 26 executives onboarded including department directors and Mayor's office team
  • 27 people moved from camps directly into housing through the Next Step initiative
  • 40+ board and commission appointments put forward to the Assembly
  • 88 meetings and events with community groups ranging from entrepreneurs and elders to homebuilders, organized labor, tribal organizations, service providers, industry groups, military, health care, and more.
  • 400 beds of winter shelter funded to keep people off the streets and out of the cold

"I have lived in Anchorage for more than 25 years, but in the last 100 days, I have seen and experienced the power of our community in a new way," Mayor LaFrance said. "I have nothing but confidence in our future."
