First, Ringle gave a background on their organization.

“St. Vincent de Paul is a charity organization, we provide aid to people. That can be food, that can be utility assistance, that can be rental vouchers, but one of the things we do is we have 26 shelter rooms and 75 low-income housing units in our community. So we work primarily families and vulnerable seniors to get them off the streets and into housing. Then, once they’re in our shelter, we work on getting them into long-term rentals. We’re working hard to end the challenges of homelessness here in Alaska, and in Juneau, particularly.”
