The Juneau Community Foundation is giving the Alaska Legislature 16 two-bedroom apartments as part of a long-term effort to keep the state’s capital in Juneau.
Members of the House-Senate Legislative Council voted unanimously to accept the apartments, which are spread across two four-plexes and one eight-plex in the Starr Hill and Chicken Ridge neighborhoods, respectively.
The new acquisition follows the Legislature’s acceptance of the Assembly Building by a similar donation in 2022. That building has 33 apartments for legislators and is regularly in use.
Under the terms of the donation, the Juneau Community Foundation will buy the three new buildings, renovate them and turn them over to the Legislature once the renovations are complete.
Fifty-seven of the Legislature’s 60 members do not live permanently in Juneau; there will be 49 legislative housing units when the renovations finish.
Reed Stoops, a lobbyist, is a member of the board of the Juneau Community Foundation and helped organize the latest housing donation.
“Basically any kind of improvement that will make the Legislature function better in Juneau, we’ll do,” he said.
The ultimate goal is to give the Legislature more housing options to keep legislative sessions in Juneau, “especially during a special session like this,” he said.
Juneau is visited by more than 1.5 million tourists per year in the summer, and housing becomes scarce between April and September. Historically, legislators and staff have struggled to find housing for special sessions that take place during the summer.
The Legislature hasn’t yet decided how much rent it will charge legislators who live in the new apartments. Legislators living in the Assembly Building are charged market-rate rents based on the size of the apartment.
“Many on this council are strongly supportive and excited about Juneau Community Foundation’s donation, and just really thankful for it,” said Rep. Ashley Carrick, D-Fairbanks and a member of the Legislative Council.
“Juneau is an incredibly welcoming community, and this is just yet another example of why we should keep the capital in Juneau,” she said.

A warrant for Bailey Zimmerman’s arrest has been issued in the state of New Mexico, according to new court documents filed in Albuquerque Metropolitan Court.
In a new report shared by TMZ, Zimmerman is facing felony and misdemeanor charges after allegedly wrecking a hotel room and causing more than $16,000 in damage.
Court documents, which are public, state that the warrant was issued on June 18. The charges include criminal damage to property over $1,000 (a felony) along with two counts of falsely obtaining services, both misdemeanors.
The charges are reportedly tied to an incident on May 27, when Zimmerman was scheduled to perform in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at the amphitheater at Sandia Resort and Casino. According to TMZ, local authorities claim Zimmerman went on a “bender” and “trashed” the hotel room, later canceling that night’s performance and being removed from the resort.
Reports also allege the singer appeared intoxicated throughout the evening, acting erratically during soundcheck, including “stumbling, falling, and acting belligerently,” and throwing equipment. Zimmerman, 26, allegedly stormed off stage and, while returning to the resort, spit in the direction of a security officer and complained about being transported in a white SUV instead of a black one. He was later taken back to the resort, where he reportedly continued to stumble and had to lean on a member of his team while walking through the hallway.
The resort ultimately asked him to leave, and law enforcement was called to escort him off the property.
According to the documents, housekeeping staff discovered the hotel room the following day had been extensively damaged, with estimated losses exceeding $16,000. The alleged damage included the hotel’s TV, phone, coffee table, and two chairs. Staff also reported a hole in one wall, additional damage throughout the room, carpet stains, and two missing chairs.
The hotel further alleged Zimmerman charged more than $400 in alcohol to the room and never paid the bill. Court documents state that both resort staff and law enforcement attempted to contact Zimmerman and his team, but were reportedly unsuccessful, which led to the issuance of the arrest warrant.
Zimmerman canceled that night’s show, as well as a scheduled performance in Rohnert Park, California on May 30, telling fans he was ill and unable to perform.
“Y’all know there’s nothing I love more than getting out on the road and playing these shows for you, so it’s so hard for me to have to say this, but I have to reschedule tonight’s (5/27) and Saturday (5/30) shows. I have not been feeling well and have tried to power through, but I’m not able to give you all the show you deserve,” Zimmerman shared at the time. “I hate letting y’all down and was really looking forward to these shows, but I gotta take care of myself so I can get back out there stronger. We will be announcing the rescheduled dates as soon as possible, and all tickets will be honored for the new dates. Love y’all so much, and I appreciate the prayers and understanding, I’ll see you real soon.”
The venue also shared a statement saying all tickets would be refunded and made no mention of a rescheduled date.
“We regret to inform you that Bailey Zimmerman, Different Night Same Rodeo originally scheduled for 5/27/26 has been canceled. Refunds are available at the point of purchase. Cash purchases at Sandia Box Office can be refunded at Sandia Box Office with proof of purchase. All tickets purchased online or through the Etix Call Center with a credit or debit card will be refunded automatically. Due to high volumes, you should expect to see your refund within 10-14 business days. We apologize for any inconvenience.”
Bailey Zimmerman has not yet publicly commented. According to his official website, Zimmerman’s next scheduled tour date is set for Thursday, June 25 (Country Drive Music Festival) and Friday, June 26 (Hoofbeat Country Fest).
