ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) – Residents of the Forest Park Trailer Court in Chugiak on Thursday spoke in a public meeting hosted by the Chugiak United Methodist Church and Anchorage Faith & Action Congregations Together in hopes of remaining in their homes.

Residents were given eviction notices by the Municipality of Anchorage due to the water system they rely upon not being up to code. At the meeting, Forest Park residents shared a history of the park’s water situation as well as personal testimony. Listening to the stories were representatives of various government and community organizations, including the Anchorage Assembly, Affordable Housing and Land Trust and NeighborWorks.

When asked by resident Fred Esguerra and moderator Jim Doepken if they would join a task force to solve the issue of the Forest Park Trailer Court, most of those on the panel said yes.

Kevin Cross of the Anchorage Assembly also said he would recommend to the Municipality that residents of the Forest Park Trailer Court not be evicted until the task force completes its work.
