Perhaps the AFN should get involved as well as Cook Inlet Tribal.  They can screen the homeless and act as a liaison between the homeless tribal members and their village councils.  At least that might very well put a tiny dent in the 2-3,000 people that are homeless.   I have doubts, though, that the village tribal councils might not want to get involved.  Rural villages likely don't have the housing market or vouchers to house people.   Either way, it's time for AFN to help find a solution.  Then again, what about the non-Native homeless population?  The city can drum up all the housing vouchers that they can get their hands on, but who's going to pay for the electricity, heat, and utilities?
