At a special meeting this week, the City of Unalaska granted more than $1.34 million to nine local organizations through its community support program for the fiscal year 2022. That s less than a 3% increase from last year s funding, despite more than a 9% increase in the amount requested.
When Unalaska s nonprofits were granted funding from the city s community support program last year, they knew that funding was going to be crucial. At the time, they faced hunker down orders, mandated closures and a drastic drop in tourism due to the coronavirus pandemic.
What they may not have realized is the pandemic would still be taking harsh jabs at their revenue nearly a year later, when they returned to ask the city for funding again.

State health officials have asked Alaska vaccine providers to follow federal recommendations to pause the use of the Johnson & Johnson
COVID-19 vaccines due to a clotting risk. More than 7 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine have been administered across the U.S., but a handful of women have gotten a blood clot afterward, prompting the pause. In Unalaska, however, that halt is not expected to have much of an effect on the city s vaccination effort, according to local health officials. I think in the grand scheme of vaccination, it s not going to change things much, said Megan Sarnecki, medical director and family medicine physician for the Iliuliuk Family and Health Services clinic. [The pause] came on relatively late. We didn t have very many [Johnson & Johnson] doses. And luckily, we ve already given out a lot of vaccinations [in general].
