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 increases 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 one percent reduction in interest rates compared to the standard rates 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 is intended to provide greater financial support to borrowers, thereby encouraging investment in housing development within the state.
