Policy and Advocacy
At Henning, Inc., we envision a community where:
All people are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve
No houseless person is abandoned or ignored
Service providers and community members work collaboratively and cooperatively to ensure people do not become homeless, and quickly offer assistance if they do
Policies and practices are based on the root causes of and the solutions to poverty and homelessness
Working toward our vision of an Anchorage without homelessness, where everyone has a place to call home:
We meet our prospective and current residents where they are and work with them to provide housing and other services that meet their needs and wishes
We work with our community, our leaders and other service providers, contributing the experiences of our organization and the people we serve, and applying those lessons to community efforts to prevent and end homelessness
