Description
Alaska Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC) coordinates the Special Needs Housing Grant (SNHG) program with funding partners, including the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority. The program distributes competitive grants to nonprofit service providers and housing developers for supportive housing serving Alaskans with special needs. Its primary focus is housing for beneficiaries of the Alaska Mental Health Trust.
SNHG supports both the construction and operation of supportive housing, rather than construction alone. This combination of development and operational support defines the program’s role in addressing the housing needs of the populations it serves.
