Thank You Governor Walker for restoring BHAP to the FY2016 Budget

Governor Walker amended his budget to ensure continued funding for programs that help the homeless. Fairbanks Youth Advocates, along with other partners of the Alaska Coalition on Housing and Homelessness are very pleased with the decision.

“Taking the money out was an unintended consequence of submitting a stripped-down capital budget,” said Office of Management and Budget Director Pat Pitney. “Putting the money back in is a cost-effective way to address issues that could be costly for our communities. It reduces overall costs in corrections and health and social services.”
