For Property Owners & Property Managers

Inquire About Providing Housing for Disaster Survivors

As part of the State of Alaska Disaster Housing Task Force established to address immediate housing needs, AHFC is collecting information about current housing availability. If you own or manage property — or have credible, first-hand knowledge about property availability — for the purpose of facilitating immediate and/or long-term housing to disaster survivors, please email info@AlaskaHousingDisasterRelief.us.

Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Emergency Housing Waiver

Revenue Procedure 2014-49 allows for the temporary suspension of income limitations for displaced individuals affected by a Presidentially Declared Disaster. Under this procedure, Low-Income Housing Tax Credit developments may be used to house individuals displaced due to a disaster area declaration with approval from the housing agency.

The Temporary Housing Period cannot exceed 12 months from the end of the month in which the President declared the Major Disaster (in this instance, October 31, 2026).

Property owners must receive approval from AHFC’s Internal Audit Department prior to providing emergency housing under this provision.

If you operate a LIHTC development and would like to provide emergency housing for those displaced due to Typhoon Halong, use the contact information below to request additional information and approval.
