We are a network-powered movement. We'll provide materials that any participant can use or adapt to spread information, query candidates, and reinforce the message that state policymakers can and should do more on housing. Let’s House Alaska was co-created by Alaska Public Interest Research Group and Housing Alaskans Public-Private Partnership, but it’s designed to be reimagined and adapted by participants.

Housing is a system, not a single lever. Its core parts — governance, land, capital, construction, and regulation — are interdependent. Fix zoning without addressing the construction labor shortage, and approved projects still can't get built. Fund a loan program without addressing permitting delays, and capital sits idle waiting on approvals. Tactics in isolation don't complete new homes — they just move them down the line to the next bottleneck.

Alaska already has housing programs and policies. What it lacks is a comprehensive, coordinated plan to align and accelerate them. Bolting on some more disconnected programs might help individual projects clear their next hurdle, but it can't catalyze development at the scale Alaska needs. What the state needs instead is a proactive public-private housing plan that:

• Targets the root causes of the housing crisis

• Aligns tools and programs across the full housing continuum

• Coordinates state agencies and private capital instead of duplicating effort

  and

• Ties every program to a shared framework and set of goals which signal developers, communities, bond raters, and voters that Alaska understands the scope of the problem and is committed to solving it.

Building that plan, and generating the public and private commitment to act on it, takes more than a few new tools. It takes multiple perspectives, sustained attention, and real political will. Building that will is the first step, and it's the one Let's House Alaska is asking Alaskans to take.

Once our leadership commits to solving the housing crisis as a system, not with just more tactics in isolation, Alaskans can have a real conversation about which suite of tools will actually fix the shortage.

We are built for broad participation. Let’s House Alaska includes a web-based sign-on for organizations and individuals to express support for the message that Alaska has a housing shortage, there’s more that our policymakers can do to solve it, and we want them to take action in 2027. We also have a storytelling board where Alaskans can share their personal experiences with the housing shortage.

Let’s House Alaska is focused on elevating housing action as a priority issue and securing candidate commitments to act if elected. It is not about endorsing or backing any individual candidate. We're also not advancing any particular policy positions. Let’s House Alaska emphasizes the importance of a coordinated strategy across five categories: land, capitol, construction, regulation, and governance. We also host a resource library, but the purpose is to be descriptive rather than prescriptive.
