The Association Of Alaska Housing Authorities

What The Association Of Alaska Housing Authorities does

The Association of Alaska Housing Authorities (AAHA) is a non-profit membership association founded in 1994 and headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska. It represents Alaska's 14 Regional Housing Authorities and the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC), collectively the primary providers of affordable housing across the state. AAHA delivers three core service lines: (1) unified state and federal legislative advocacy on affordable housing policy, including testimony to legislative committees and policy resource development; (2) Alaska-specific training and technical assistance for Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) recipients, delivered in close collaboration with the Alaska HUD Office of Native American Programs and focused on NAHASDA compliance, procurement, admissions and occupancy, environmental review, and board governance; and (3) the annual Alaska Housing Innovations Summit, a multi-day event addressing housing design, workforce development, infrastructure, research, and financing for low-income Alaskans. The association also operates a resource portal and a Contracting Opportunities Portal (RFQ/RFP) for member housing authorities.

Direct peers

• Council of Large Public Housing Authorities (CLPHA): Membership organization for the largest public housing authorities — analogous to AAHA in providing coordinated federal advocacy, training, and policy support to housing authority members, though scaled to large urban PHAs.
• Public Housing Authorities Directors Association (PHADA): Trade association representing executive directors of public housing authorities — comparable to AAHA in member-driven advocacy, training, and federal policy engagement for housing authorities, though focused on the Lower 48.
• National Affordable Housing Management Association (NAHMA): National trade association for affordable housing management companies — similar advocacy/training model for affordable housing providers, with comparable member-services structure, though focused on management firms rather than regional authorities.
• National American Indian Housing Council (NAIHC): The national membership organization representing Tribally Designated Housing Entities and tribes receiving IHBG funding — highly comparable to AAHA in its tribal housing focus, NAHASDA advocacy, and training/TA delivery model, but operating nationwide.
• National Council of State Housing Agencies (NCSHA): National nonprofit representing state housing finance agencies — directly comparable to AAHA's advocacy and member-services model for state-level housing finance entities, including AHFC, though at national scope.
• National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO): The national trade association for public housing authorities, redevelopment agencies, and housing officials — directly comparable to AAHA in mission (advocacy, training, technical assistance for housing authorities) but operating at national scale with state chapters.

Broad incumbents

• Alaska Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC): Alaska's statewide housing finance corporation and a member of AAHA — provides financing, programs, and operations across affordable housing at a substantially larger scale than AAHA, making it both a constituent and a much larger industry peer in the same Alaska ecosystem.
