About housing in Alaska
Alaska housing assistance and rentals are offered by different providers. Cook Inlet Housing Authority (CIHA) lists properties in Anchorage, Eagle River, Kenai, Ninilchik and Seldovia, while Alaska Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC) operates separate rental-housing and voucher programs. An advertised waitlist or application invitation does not guarantee an available unit or approval after screening.
Tlingit-Haida Regional Housing Authority (THRHA) publishes a separate, dated Southeast Alaska rental vacancy list; its properties and application rules are distinct from CIHA and AHFC. Baranof Island Housing Authority (BIHA), a distinct Sitka provider, describes named residential programs and an unnamed fair-market program with separate applications and screening rules.
How screening varies in Alaska
There is no universal "felony-friendly" certification. Screening policies differ by property and management company. This page does not make claims about state or local law; confirm a property’s current requirements directly before applying.

KETCHIKAN KICHA THREE-RENTAL-PROGRAM REVIEW — KIC Housing Authority in Ketchikan: independent directory https://ketchikan123.org/resources/kic-housing-authority/ points to official program https://www.kictribe.org/housing, reviewed September 30, 2026. KICHA reports 11 general rental, 12 Baranof elder and two Woodland/Park veterans inventory homes (25 total), not confirmed vacancies.
The elder form https://www.kictribe.org/documents/housing/housing_elder_rental_app_2021.pdf provides 3221 Baranof Avenue and age 60+ plus spouse; the other groups lack complete residential addresses. The office at 429 Deermount is not a rental address. Veterans' “accepting applications” label is not an available-unit claim; general/elder waitlist status and all felony-screening outcomes remain unverified.
Official income headings conflict and 2021 application income/rent figures are dated. Repair, energy, homeownership and student voucher programs are distinct from residential units. See the Ketchikan city resource for counts, eligibility caveats and contacts.
A practical next step
Preparing your application
A little preparation can help you ask better questions before paying an application fee.
- Gather proof of income (recent pay stubs, an offer letter, or bank statements).
- Collect positive references from prior landlords or employers where possible.
- Prepare a brief, honest explanation letter that provides context for your record.
- Ask each property directly about its reported screening policy before paying any application fee.
- Confirm the lookback period and which offense types a property may consider.

Frequently asked questions
What do the screening and verification statuses mean on Alaska listings?
A listing's screening status describes the policy reported for that property, while its verification status describes the status of that information. Check both, along with any verification date, and contact the property directly because policies can change.
Are all Alaska listings verified?
No. Unverified records may be publicly visible. Each listing displays its verification status, and a verification date appears when one is available.
Does a listing in Alaska guarantee approval?
No. A listing is not a promise of acceptance. Screening policies and decisions are made by each property; contact it directly to confirm its current requirements before applying.
