SUMMARY STATEMENT:
I thought I would provide Council an update on the Housing issues and the 3 projects right now in the planning process.
Valdez Senior Housing - Cordes development team has registered the City's project with Alaska Housing. The name Valdez Senior Village Apartments will appear on the application and is the planned named for the facility. The calendar for the application process is as follows:
June 25th - Registration (Submitted to Alaska Housing by Cordes).
July 22nd-Pre-Application due.
November 19-Final application due.
So far Alaska Housing has provided minimal feedback on scoring criteria. It appears the applicants for 2022 funding will be fewer than previous years.
Staff will keep Council updated on lobbying and other communication efforts.
