HB 65-SENIOR CITIZEN HOUSING DEV. FUND GRANTS
8:04:55 AM
CHAIR MUNOZ announced that the first order of business would be
HOUSE BILL NO. 65, "An Act making regional Native housing
authorities eligible to receive grants through the Alaska
Housing Finance Corporation from the senior citizens housing
development fund."
8:05:34 AM
TIM CLARK, Staff, Representative Bryce Edgmon, Alaska State
Legislature, reminded the committee that HB 65 will benefit
senior citizens by including rural housing authorities among the
eligible entities for grants through the Alaska Housing Finance
Corporation's (AHFC) Senior Citizens Housing Development Fund
(SCHDF). Currently, the fund is only available to
municipalities and 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) nonprofits. He
recalled that at the last meeting there was a question regarding
examples of nonprofits that currently qualify for grants through
SCHDF. Two of the three projects highlighted at the last
hearing, which were partially funded through SCHDF, are the
Fairbanks retirement home as well as the Mid-Valley senior
citizens facility. Additional examples were specified in a
memorandum recently provided to members. Those additional
examples included the Palmer Senior Citizens Center
Incorporated, Meadow Lake Community Council, Bristol Bay Housing
Development Corporation, and Ninilchik Tribal Health, Culture
and Heritage nonprofit.
