Housing Voucher Options

In addition to its Housing Choice Voucher program, AHFC collaborates with partner organizations across the state to serve Alaskans with distinct needs. Special Purpose Vouchers and vouchers for specific rental locations are two options that may be available for Alaskans requiring housing assistance.

Housing Stabilization & Recovery

Alaska Housing, collaborating with partners across the state, is providing short- and long-term housing stabilization for Alaska’s homeless population. The innovative program is uniquely holistic, addressing the full spectrum of housing insecurities.

The goal of AHFC’s Housing Stabilization & Recovery program is to get people off the streets, out of shelters and into stabilized housing. From there, housing navigators work with clients to find a rental unit for a longer period of time. Each client receives stability assistance, moving expenses, rental deposits and up to 12 months of rental assistance.

Special Purpose Vouchers

Special Purpose Vouchers are collaborations between AHFC and partner agencies that serve Alaskans with distinct housing needs. These programs are not available directly through AHFC, so families must receive a referral from a partner agency and apply directly with that organization. Information and applications for specific programs are listed below.

Housing vouchers for specific rental locations

Alaska Housing awards Project-Based Vouchers and Sponsor-Based Rental Assistance directly to private developments. These vouchers are tied to a specific property to help pay for rent and the family is unable to move the assistance to another location.
