Your Foundation
for Housing in Kodiak
Kodiak Island Housing Authority (KIHA) is dedicated to providing safe, high quality, and affordable rental properties and assistance programs across Kodiak Island. No matter your background – whether you want to rent or own, or whether your housing needs are basic or complex, our programs give you a foundation to help you elevate your life in our community.
Our Mission Is You
Kodiak Island Housing Authority’s mission is to ensure safe, decent, and affordable housing while creating opportunities for resident self-sufficiency and economic independence.
Self-Help Builds Community
It’s a community-driven initiative that allows working families to build affordable homes in Kodiak without the need for a down payment. Families contribute “sweat equity” by working together to build each other’s homes, creating a supportive neighborhood that strengthens our island’s future.
Kodiak Island Borough Housing Needs Assessment
Kodiak Island Housing Authority (KIHA) contracted with McKinley Research to conduct a Kodiak Island Borough Housing Needs Assessment. This study is intended to serve as a community resource that highlights housing needs and housing-related impacts on employment and the local economy. The report includes analysis of housing inventory, condition, and valuation; population and household demographics; community economic conditions; surveys of Kodiak road system and village housing needs; and a review of available land and zoning. This information was used to inform a housing gap analysis identifying areas of concern and unmet housing needs.
