Alaska Housing employees have been busy this spring advancing projects and opportunities that we hope will have a lasting impact for our neighbors across the state. 

Whether by administering federally funding grants that facilitate low-income housing development, creating opportunities for families to find stable financial footing through public housing, operating programs that create opportunities for youth or looking to the future of energy efficiency, AHFC employees contribute to opening doors for Alaskans.

Our mission has remained consistent over our 50+ year history: to provide Alaskans access to safe, quality, affordable housing. We value your partnership as we strive to deliver on this mission year after year.
