We partnered with Arctic Slope Regional Corporation’s subsidiary, Alaska Growth Capital, to hose “Keep the Change” financial building program to teach youth practical strategies for budgeting, saving, banking, and managing credit. Efforts for the curriculum were also designed to be culturally relevant and align with subsistence lifestyles. In one year, we visited 10 village, served 42 participants, and counseled 18 people in the effort.
In 2016, we also completed major rehab projects at Panoramic View and Stephen’s Park properties—finishing 2 years of work for weatherization, exterior painting, and siding replacement at 26 buildings (almost 400,000 square feet!).
