Homeless Assistance Program (HAP)

AHFC coordinates the Homeless Assistance Program (HAP) with funding partners, including the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority. The HAP was established in 1993 and assists Alaskans who are homeless or, at-risk, to access emergency services including emergency shelter, rapid rehousing, and eviction prevention. HAP funds support projects that address a specific need in the community. In addition to a reliable funding source for operating expenses, these programs work within the continuum of care to assist families to obtain or retain safe and stable housing.  The Homeless Assistance Program serves all populations, including youth under 18, youth 18-24, families, veterans and single adults.

Currently, the HAP serves Alaskans in 16 communities through partnerships with 36 nonprofit agency partners.

Grant Funding Availability

Subject to funding availability, applications for HAP program resources typically open at the start of the State Fiscal Year (July).
