The public is invited to participate in the development of the State of Alaska’s SFY2017 Housing and Community Development Annual Action Plan. The Annual Action Plan is part of the five-year strategy that was adopted in 2015 and is a prerequisite to receive federal funding for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program and the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME). The SFY2017 Annual Action Plan is the second annual implementation plan of the five-year strategy.
The Plan includes an allocation plan for the use of potential funds from the National Housing Trust Fund. The Housing Trust Fund (HTF) is a new affordable housing production program to increase and preserve the supply of decent, safe, and sanitary affordable housing for extremely low-income and very low-income families. HTF is a formula grant program for states expected to be available in 2016.
