Best Women's Shelters Grants in Alaska

The Rasmuson Foundation, established in 1955, aims to empower Alaskans through program-related investments (PRIs). These financial tools, which include loans and equity investments, support charitable projects in housing, economic development, and nonprofit facilities. By increasing access to credit for nonprofits and community developers, the Foundation fosters homeownership, entrepreneurship, and community stability, while avoiding high-risk ventures that stray from its charitable mission.

Greater Opportunities for Affordable Living (GOAL)

The GOAL program provides grants, federal tax credits and zero-interest federal loans to developers and project sponsors who build affordable rental housing for low- to moderate-income families and seniors.

The rating and award criteria outlined herein has been prepared by the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC) to establish the criteria which will be used to award Greater Opportunities for Affordable Living (GOAL) Program funds. This program contains four primary funding sources:

• Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC),
• Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds,
• Senior Citizen’s Housing Development Fund (SCHDF)*
  • Additional capital development funds available for senior housing development, provided by AHFC’s funding partners, will be synonymously treated as SCHDF requests for the purpose of this Qualified Allocation Plan.
• National Housing Trust Fund (NHTF).
  • In years where a sub-grant is awarded to the Municipality of Anchorage from AHFC, NHTF awards made through the GOAL program will only be issued to proposals located outside of the Municipality of Anchorage.
• Other sources that may become available through new programs or partner investments.
