Housing Alaskans Public Private Partnership Grant Announcement

The only way to solve Alaska’s housing crisis is to build additional residential homes. The Housing Alaskans Public Private Partnership announced a new grant that will bridge the gap between a breakthrough idea and breaking ground. The grants are funded thanks to $1.5 million in donations from Wells Fargo Foundation, Northrim Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank Des Moines and the Denali Commission. The grants will provide critical “top-off” capital to housing projects across Alaska that are ready to build but stall out before they cross the finish line. These are projects that already have public and private investment committed, but escalating costs make them impossible to complete. These HAPPP grants fill the gap. HAPPP is soliciting applications to fund projects that are ready to break ground, are scheduled for completion in 2026-2027 or that will expedite and accelerate housing projects in the Western Alaska storm-impacted communities.
