How We're Growing: The Hítx'i Sáani Community
The Hítx'i Sáani ("Little Houses" in Lingít) Community is a permanent supportive housing development, located on Alaska Mental Health Trust Land at the end of Jarvis Street and consisting of 12 units with a services building. Hítx'i Sáani will not only provide a home and community to the chronically homeless, but also support services such as employment help, behavioral health services, and support in applying to external services and benefits.

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!
