Alaska Housing Homeowner Assistance is being supported, in whole or in part, by federal award number HAFP-0197 awarded to the State of Alaska by the US Department of the Treasury. As part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, the program is designed to help homeowners avoid mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures. Approved payments will be distributed by AHFC and its partners directly to Mortgage Servicers and homeowner expense and utility providers. Read AHFC's HAF Annual Report.
For individuals whose homeowner assistance is ending, please be proactive and speak with your Mortgage Servicer about your circumstances. If you continue to have financial challenges that make paying your mortgage or homeowner expenses difficult, we encourage you to review and take advantage of these resources to make sure you remain safely housed.
All applicants need to provide certain documentation as part of the initial review. These include:
We will request these documents by email (and send you reminders, if necessary) and provide you with secure links to submit them directly to the system.
Completed applications will go into the verification process and AHFC will work with your Mortgage Servicer to verify borrower information.
Payments will be made directly to the Mortgage Servicer, utility/energy company, insurer, and/or tax authority, as appropriate. Watch this video to learn how funds are distributed.
