Tlingit-Haida Regional Housing Authority (THRHA) named 1 rental entry in Ketchikan, Alaska on its vacancy page dated June 1, 2026. These source claims are not verified September openings or assurances of screening approval. Multi-unit groups are not a count of individual vacancies.

Local housing information for Ketchikan

Local rental overview

The THRHA June 1 vacancy page lists 3290 Fairview Avenue. The listed street addresses are directory references; ask which unit is available. Details below retain each entry’s claimed bedroom size, income category, rent or minimum charge, utilities, senior/tribal conditions and original source link. Rent figures are dated. The authority lists AHFC Section 8 and other vouchers as accepted and describes smoke- and drug-free properties; confirm property-specific terms.

Criminal screening overview

The THRHA general rental packet says violent or drug-related felony convictions cause ineligibility for seven years following conviction; it lists a three-year restriction after drug-related eviction from public or assisted housing and indefinite exclusions for methamphetamine production, specified sex-offender registration and current illegal drug use. It also considers threatening or disruptive histories. These are the general packet’s published terms; do not assume they apply unchanged to separately administered Fireweed Place or Harbor Inn. Ask each operator for current written criteria and an individual determination.

Application tips

THRHA links its general rental application packet from the Ketchikan entries; a complete application enters a waitlist, not an automatic offer. The packet asks for identification, Social Security cards, income documentation, tribal enrollment when the unit requires it, and any applicable voucher paperwork. Check whether a unit remains open and request current written eligibility criteria directly from the operator. THRHA’s 5446 Jenkins Drive, Juneau address is its office, not a rental at this community.

KETCHIKAN KICHA THREE-RENTAL-PROGRAM REVIEW — Ketchikan123 is an independent community resource directory, NOT KICHA's website. Its listing https://ketchikan123.org/resources/kic-housing-authority/ links to the official Ketchikan Indian Community Housing Authority page https://www.kictribe.org/housing, reviewed September 30, 2026. The official page lists 25 INVENTORY rental units in three groups: general AI/AN rentals (11: one 4-bedroom, seven 3-bedroom, two 2-bedroom and one 1-bedroom; no full residential street list), Baranof Elder Housing Complex (12: eight 1-bedroom and four 2-bedroom; the 2021 elder application https://www.kictribe.org/documents/housing/housing_elder_rental_app_2021.pdf says 3221 Baranof Avenue and age 60+ plus spouse, not other under-60 relatives), and Woodland/Park veterans' housing (two 1-bedroom units, one ADA and one reached by stairs; only an intersection is given). The site says it is accepting VETERANS applications, not that either home is vacant; current general/elder intake is not established. The 2021 general https://www.kictribe.org/documents/housing/housing_rental_app_2021.pdf and veteran https://www.kictribe.org/documents/housing/housing_veterans_app_2021.pdf application packets document household/income and screening checks but no blanket felony decision; the veterans policy has additional suitability and waiting-list terms not automatically applicable to other groups. The official page labels its income ceiling 80% of median income but an adjacent table 100%; old 2021 form figures and rents are not current quotes. The housing office at 429 Deermount St is NOT a residential site. Contact KICHA at (907) 228-9222 or housing@kictribe.org for current terms and exact addresses. In addition to rentals, https://www.kictribe.org/housing describes separate homeowner repair help (up to $5,000 annually), elder energy assistance for eligible AI/AN elders 60+ (up to $700 annually while funds last), a home buy-down (up to $30,000 toward a down payment, plus stated inspection/closing-cost caps) and a student housing voucher for enrolled eligible KIC students; these are assistance programs, NOT 25 more rentals.
