Welcome To Tlingit Haida Regional Housing Authority!

Affordable Housing Opportunities for all Southeast Alaskans

Since 1973 Tlingit-Haida Regional Housing Authority has been providing quality affordable housing to the people of Southeast Alaska. We partner with 12 communities, service 823 homes, and offer a variety of housing opportunities for all residents of Southeast Alaska. Initially, THRHA was primarily an Indian housing authority providing services to Native American Housing Self Determination Act (NAHASDA) eligible clients. As part of our current strategic plan we have developed several public housing programs that allow THRHA to offer a wider variety of housing opportunities for all Southeast Alaskans.

Homeownership Opportunities
Rent-to-Own
Family Rentals
Transitional, temporary emergency housing
Senior Independent Living
Home Loans
Down-payment assistance
Home Repair
Project & Home Construction

By summer 2007, KIC & THRHA will be welcoming 24 families into single, zero-lot, and multifamily units for rent or rent-to-own at the top of Carlanna Street in Ketchikan Alaska. Additional programs and housing developments are underway as well here in the Juneau-Douglas area. We'll be release some exciting information about that this year as development progresses.

THRHA Weatherization:

THRHA to receive funds for weatherization program which could mean savings to you in the long run!

Impressively, during the 2008 Alaska legislative session, Alaska Legislators worked together to expand weatherization and energy-efficiency programs to reach more Alaskans. Fortunately, THRHA will receive a portion of these funds over the coming years to weatherize Tlingit-Haida Regional Housing Authority homes based on the program priorities and guidelines. If you do not live in a home owned by THRHA, see the following.

From the President/CEO:

Affordable housing opportunities and solutions for Southeast Alaskans!

We are making dreams come true by revitalizing families and communities throughout Southeast Alaska."

Dear Homebuyers and Tenants,

Happy New Year! Last year we celebrated 35 years in business. We’ve built more than a 1,100 new homes and continue to provide millions in home repairs and jobs.

Recently, we opened the Klawock Senior Center and moved 18 independent seniors into new two-bedroom or completely refurbished apartments. It was a joyous day witnessing the smiles on the faces of our Elders.

We are deeply grateful to our many business partners and funders that have made the expansion of the Klawock Senior Center possible. We know that without their help this would not have been possible. The many long hours and months of hard work certainly paid-off when the ribbon was cut to this beautiful new facility, a healthy new place for active seniors to enjoy with their friends, families and neighbors.

This next year, we will be focusing on THRHA’s new Weatherization and Home Energy Efficiency Program. We have partnered with the state of Alaska to conduct this important work and train crews. Crews will soon be working throughout Southeast conducting repairs and improving energy efficiency.

As always, we are thankful for your support of our mission; providing quality affordable housing opportunities for all Southeast Alaskans. Sincerely, Dr. Blake Y. Kazama
