Anchor Arms, Inc., a 501(c)(3) Alaska nonprofit
corporation formed in 1999, owns and operates the Safe Harbor
Inn, Alaska’s first and only nonprofit motel. 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, and referred by, local
social service agencies, health care organizations, and job
training organizations.
Our goal is that as many of our guests
as possible will benefit from their lodging at the Safe Harbor
Inn, 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, the Safe Harbor Inn has been full
with a growing waiting list.
