Kodiak Economic Development Corporation is working with the University of Alaska Center for Economic Development to develop a Housing Action Plan for Kodiak Island. This plan will outline practical steps to increase the availability and affordability of housing across the island’s communities.
Your voice matters.
This survey is part of a broader community engagement effort—including focus groups and interviews—that will help us better understand current housing challenges, opportunities, and local priorities. The insights you share will directly inform a plan that reflects community values and supports sustainable, long-term solutions.

Identifying the need
and supporting a solution
Though communities nationwide are experiencing a housing affordability crisis, Alaska’s housing challenges are particularly stark, exacerbated by expensive materials and labor costs, our rapidly aging housing stock and our new housing construction market isn’t keeping up with demand.
Housing is a complex issue, immune to quick fixes,
requiring both long-term planning
& creative investments.
Consequently, communities across the state are seeing the worker retention and recruitment difficulties caused by our housing shortage further slow construction, renovation, and modernization efforts. Kodiak is experiencing this, and KEDC is looking for creative solutions to address the situation.
As we work to develop community focused solutions, we need Kodiak residents to participate.
