Alaska Legal Services Corporation

Alaska Legal Services Corporation is a non-profit organization based in Anchorage, Alaska, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since 2005. The organization specializes in providing legal services and advocacy, with a primary focus on fair housing, tribal sovereignty, and legal assistance for underserved populations in Alaska. As a tax-exempt corporate entity, Alaska Legal Services Corporation receives federal grant awards primarily from agencies focused on housing, equal opportunity, and community support, demonstrating a commitment to addressing legal challenges for vulnerable populations across the state.

Through its federal grant awards, Alaska Legal Services Corporation has consistently pursued initiatives in fair housing enforcement, legal representation, and community support. The organization has received multiple project grants from the Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, focusing on screening housing discrimination complaints, conducting investigations, providing legal representation, and engaging in community outreach. These grants have supported activities such as investigating discrimination based on protected classes, including sexual orientation, gender identity, and addressing issues like appraisal discrimination. Additionally, the organization has been involved in sub-grant awards with the State of Alaska Department of Health for nutrition, transportation, and support services, as well as national family caregiver support. The corporation has also worked closely with Montana Legal Services Association and Equal Justice Works to provide legal services to tribal governments, representing Alaska's numerous federally-recognized tribes in matters of sovereignty, Indian Child Welfare, and subsistence rights. Most recently, a significant $500,000 Department of Labor grant was awarded in March 2025 to support fair housing rights and enforcement initiatives over a three-year period.
