The bill proposes an amendment to the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation's loan interest rate structure, specifically targeting small community and multi-family housing loans. It seeks to increase the threshold for lower interest rates on these loans from $250,000 to $400,000. This change means that loans up to $400,000 will benefit from a reduced interest rate, set at one percent less than the standard rate determined by previous bond issues.

By raising the loan amount eligible for lower interest rates, the bill aims to make housing more affordable in Alaska, particularly for small communities and multi-family housing projects. The adjustment in the loan cap is intended to provide greater financial relief and support for borrowers in these sectors, thereby promoting housing development and accessibility.
