The Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) Certification and Operating Expense Assistance (OEA) Program is administered by the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC) as part of the federal HOME Investment Partnerships Program. This initiative offers direct operating expense funding to nonprofit organizations that are certified by AHFC as CHDOs. The goal is to strengthen the operational capacity of these organizations so they can effectively develop, acquire, or rehabilitate affordable housing for low-income households in Alaska. The program ensures that certified CHDOs have the resources needed to participate in HOME-funded activities, focusing on the delivery of affordable housing solutions across the state.
