In spite of historically low interest rates, it would be impossible for many Alaskans to buy their first home without programs offered by AHFC. We provide a variety of programs such as our loans for first-time home buyers, low- and moderate-income borrowers, veterans, teachers, nurses, and those living in rural areas of the state. See our Homebuyer Information page for details.
To ensure that Alaskans have access to safe, quality, and affordable housing we offer a variety of services. Our services help bridge the gap by offering self-sufficiency services, senior/disabled housing, public housing, and Housing Choice Vouchers. For more information see our Renter Information page.
Through the power of partnerships, we are able to expand our resources and programs. From tapping into the financial resources of federal and private grants or low-income housing tax credits to providing low-interest-rate loans to developers and nonprofits for multi-family and senior housing, we rely on and work closely with our many state, federal and private partners. For more information see our Partner Information page.
The Senior Housing Office exists to help Alaska's senior citizens obtain adequate, accessible, secure and affordable housing. The Senior Housing Office works with other public and private agencies in an attempt to respond to the housing needs of senior citizens and to pursue various sources of financing for the development of housing alternatives. For more information see our Senior Guide page.
