How We're Growing: The Hítx'i Sáani Community
Hítx’i Sáani Permanent Supportive Housing is now open, with twelve units providing stable housing to Sitka community members! This marks the shift from construction to active housing and daily support.
At the same time, construction is underway on our Services Building, with completion anticipated in Fall 2026. This space will provide coordinated, wraparound services for Hítx’i Sáani residents and for anyone in the Sitka community who needs access to SHC programs, support, or connection. Our $75,000 Raise the Roof goal will allow us to finish construction and open the building.

Supporting Our Growth
The Sitka Homeless Coalition has received support from individuals and organizations committed to offering shelter to our neighbors living outside.
The Hítx'i Sáani Community consists of 12 units, and each can be sponsored for $12,000. To date, eight cabins have been sponsored by Sitka Rotary Club, First Bank, Sitka Moose Lodge, the White Elephant, three individuals, and Sitka Tribe of Alaska-Social Services.
In December of 2022, we received our largest pledge to-date when the US Senate approved a $1 million Congressionally Directed Spending Grant. The appropriation was proposed by Senator Lisa Murkowski, pictured on the right with members of the Sitka Homeless Coalition community.
Thank you to our neighbors and supporters for being a part of our mission!
