Anchorage Neighborhood Housing Services

is now working with Russian Jack residents to improve our housing and situations. If your family income is less than 80% of the median income for the area, ANHS has the WRAP (Weatherization & Rehabilitation for Asset Preservation) program for your single family house. For the rest of us, ANHS will be giving monthly seminars at the Anchorage Literacy Project (on Rudakof Drive behind the Credit Union 1). Topics will include weatherization, finance, insurance and home safety. We will provide the schedule when it becomes available.

Construction will begin next week and will last until September. Bragaw Street will be closed across the highway, and the detour for access onto Glenn Highway northbound will be in effect.

The construction will complete in September.

Landscaping may be delayed until 2009 to permit the plants to root properly.

Welcome to the Russian Jack Community Council. While we are proud of all our parks - Russian Jack Springs, Dave Rose, Kanchee, San Antonio and Williwaw - we are concerned with more than these gems. Quality of life, including crime prevention, and educational achievement of our children are of high importance.

We are a very diverse community - half of us belong to ethnic minorities. 60% of us own our residences, which vary from single family homes to mobile homes to 4 - plexes to apartments. Yet we share the desire for a family friendly community.

But we are not divisive. Our meetings are collegial and neighborly, with everyone being heard respectfully. Besides the presentation of a speaker each month, there are lively exchanges with our elected representatives.

So come participate with your neighbors!

Join us and make your voice heard!
