In five years since 2001, NWAK provided over 2,000 hours of homeownership counseling to 1,049 families. NWAK provided home financing to 429 families, leveraging mor than $54 million in the community.
NWAK purchased Dokoozian Construction, with three new development projects in progress at the time: three single-family homes in Fairview and Spenard, 16 affordable condos at Turnagain Circle, and 40 single-family, attached homes in Independence Park called Hollybrook Terrace. With that business purchase, NWAK also gained an employee Tim Geraty, who continues serving as our Deputy Director today!
- NWAK received the “Golden Hammer” award from the Anchorage Home Builders Association for Hollybrook Terrace.
During our 5-year partnership with World Changers International, we engaged over 1,000 volunteers to assist over 100 families in Fairview and Mountain View. These efforts produced more than home repairs, but also built friendships and community by bringing neighbors together.
