Unfortunately, the Denali Commission is only able to fund the Teacher Housing Program for $1 million in FY08, compared to $5 million in previous years. This difficult decision to cut the Teacher Housing Program, was due to a reduction in federal base funding, was made at the quarterly meeting in Juneau on February 28, 2008.

That being said however, the Teacher, Health Professional, and Public Safety Grant Program process will begin this summer again with our partner, Alaska Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC).
