Anchor Arms, Inc., a 501c3 Alaska nonprofit
corporation formed in 1999, owns and operates the Safe Harbor
Inn, Alaska’s first and only nonprofit hotels: Safe Harbor Merrill Field and Safe Harbor Muldoon.
Our mission is to provide safe, secure, comfortable, dignified transitional
lodging for homeless families and individuals—especially
those with disabilities, and especially those with mental
disabilities—who are clients of local
social service agencies, health care organizations, and job
training and employment organizations.
Our goal is that as many of our guests
as possible will benefit from their lodging at Safe Harbor
, get back on their feet, and move on to permanent housing
and self-sufficiency. To date, we have fulfilled that goal
beyond all expectation.
More than 70% of Safe Harbor Inn guests have moved successfully to permanent housing and self-sufficiency.
Since it opened
on November 9, 2001, Safe Harbor Inn has expanded three times and now includes two hotels: Safe Harbor Merrill Field, with 55 rooms, and Safe Harbor Muldoon, with 50 rooms. Both hotels are full all the time.
