The application deadline is soon approaching for a federally funded coronavirus rent relief program.
The Alaska Housing Rent Relief program is accepting applications through Friday (3-5-21). They’ve partnered with Baranof Island Housing Authority (BIHA) to administer the program in Sitka . Those who received funding from the last rent and mortgage relief package are still eligible, although this wave of money only applies to renters. The program also provides utility relief.
