The Problem

Conclusive statistics from around the state of Alaska have determined that many Alaskans of all ages have no place to call home.  The statewide housing shortage disproportionately affects Trust beneficiaries. The high incidence of homelessness among beneficiaries can be linked to challenges associated with disabling conditions, lack of opportunity for economic advancement, lack of supportive living situations and lack of services required for special needs.

The Affordable Appropriate Housing Focus Area concentrates on increasing the availability of housing options best suited to the needs of Trust beneficiaries that will improve or sustain their quality of life.  Read an overview of Affordable Appropriate Housing Focus Area, its goals and strategies.
