Cook Inlet Housing Authority (CIHA) lists 1 residential directory entry in Kenai, Alaska. Multiple entries can belong to the same development or refer to distinct unit types; they are not a count of vacant homes. The CIHA directory is a dated source snapshot. Leased does not mean available; waitlist open and accepting applications do not guarantee a vacant unit. CIHA says it reviews applicants’ credit, rental and criminal histories, focusing the criminal review on the past three years. Ask for current written criteria before applying. Alaska Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC) runs separate housing and voucher programs, not these CIHA property listings.

Local housing information for Kenai

Local rental overview

CIHA’s full residential property directory returned 70 entries as reviewed September 28, 2026: 1 in Kenai. Property pages describe housing type, bedrooms, advertised rent fields and features. Each record below links to its individual source and displays the authority’s own status labels. Entries without a numbered residential street, or with a shared community reference, are not pinned to an invented unit address. The directory across all five communities includes 25 marked Leased, 33 Waitlist Open, 8 Accepting Applications Now, and 4 without an explicit open/leased label; these are source labels, not independently verified availability. The authority’s separate September 9 weekly rental sheet refers to some of these same communities; it is not an additional inventory.

Criminal screening overview

According to the CIHA FAQ, applications receive a credit, criminal-history and rental-history check; the criminal review focuses on the past three years. The FAQ says reasons for denial can include histories of violence, sexual misconduct, domestic violence, drug trafficking and/or prostitution. It does not establish automatic denial for every conviction or guarantee admission. Confirm the current written criteria and how they apply to your case directly with CIHA before paying application fees. AHFC uses a separate application process.

Application tips

CIHA’s application page says to call its Customer Care Team at 907-793-3020 to submit a rental application; it offers distinct affordable and market-rate forms. The CIHA FAQ says applicants can apply to more than one property and will be contacted when next in line for a suitable unit; an open waitlist is not a confirmed vacancy. CIHA lists an application-processing fee of $20 per adult (up to $60 per household) in its FAQ; confirm current fees before paying. The office at 3510 Spenard Road, Anchorage AK 99503 is for applications, not a rental unit. For AHFC-owned housing or vouchers, consult AHFC’s own community-specific waiting lists rather than the CIHA directory.
