Tom's Plan:
Reduce Housing Costs
Tom's Plan:
Reduce Housing Costs
Housing is too expensive because Alaska does not have enough homes where people need them. Land is tight, approvals take too long, and infrastructure costs make projects hard to build.
Unlock more housing
As Governor, I will:
Open up more land for housing
Work with the Mental Health Trust, the University of Alaska, and state agencies
Focus on land near communities that can support new homes
Unlock state land for housing where supply is constrained
More available land in the right places means more homes can actually get built, helping reduce housing pressure over time.
Make housing easier to build
As Governor, I will:
Speed up approvals
Make the process more predictable
Coordinate roads, utilities, and access
Partner with builders, tribes, and local communities
When projects take less time, face fewer delays, and cost less to build, more housing becomes financially possible for Alaska families.
