"We walk beside you."
Homelessness is a pressing issue in our community, stemming from systemic housing inequalities. Henning Inc. was founded in 2020 with a clear mission: to confront chronic homelessness by addressing housing disparities in Anchorage. Our commitment stems from the tragic loss of Shannon Henning, underscoring the urgency for action.
