New homes are coming to Shaktoolik as a barge dropped off the much-needed housing to the community.
SHAKTOOLIK, Alaska - It has been almost 15 years since Shaktoolik received new homes — the last time being in 2007 when the village received four houses — and now the community is getting four more.“We have a lot of overcrowding in our village,” Shaktoolik resident Isabelle Jackson said.
“We actually need approximately 400 more additional homes in our region to suffice, to put a roof over our population’s head,” Lyon said. “And this doesn’t include the citizens coming into the community who are here for the summer, whether it’s gold miners, or whether it’s, you know, a production show or people visiting.”
“I’m just overjoyed,” said Jackson, who is one of the recipients of the homes. “You know, it’s like reality came true now. I mean, you know, the reality hit that I’m actually getting home.”“They’re very excited. My son is so excited,” Jackson said.
