ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The Anchorage Assembly and Health Department are discussing ways to tackle the municipality’s ongoing issue with housing insecurity, and how to best allocate federal dollars to deal with the problem.
“We need to list the projects that we’re going to do and demonstrate to HUD’s satisfaction that they are eligible activities,” Drolet said. He said there is also the HOME Investment Partnerships Program. Drolet said HOME is housing focused and can be used for housing construction and rental assistance.
During a presentation, the health department proposed some of the funds be used to support community partners like NeighborWorks Alaska with rental assistance, housing development through Habitat for Humanity, and Cook Inlet Housing Authority’s rental housing development plan. Furthermore, Rivera said, it’s important for the municipality to really look at the program funds and to determine whether those programs funds are equitable or not for the municipality.
