Interior Alaska Center For Non-Violent Living

Interior Alaska Center For Non-Violent Living, doing business as Interior AK Center For Nonviolent, is a tax-exempt domestic nonprofit organization based in Fairbanks, Alaska that receives federal grant funding to provide emergency shelter, transitional and permanent supportive housing, victim services, and domestic violence prevention programming to homeless individuals, families, and survivors of intimate partner violence in the Interior Alaska region. The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient (72% of recent awards as prime recipient, 28% as sub-recipient under state and local prime grantees) and does not hold federal contracts or IDVs.

The organization's federal footprint concentrates heavily on HUD's Continuum of Care program under CFDA 14.267. HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development funds 43 awards spanning fiscal years 2022 through 2026, with the most recent award dated January 1, 2026 valued at $191,144 and running through December 31, 2026. This represents 92% of the organization's recent award count. CoC funding supports permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) operations. Representative CoC awards include four annual project grants spanning calendar year 2025 (January 1 through December 31, 2025) and multiple awards in prior fiscal years, each carrying similar scope. The organization also received a $191,144 CoC project grant effective March 11, 2025 and prior-year awards in 2024, 2023, and 2022.

Beyond CoC programming, Interior Alaska Center For Non-Violent Living holds two additional prime federal grants. The Office on Violence Against Women funded a Restorative Practices Pilot Sites Program project grant (CFDA not provided) awarded October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2029, under which the organization implements restorative justice interventions in domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking cases in collaboration with the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, and receives tailored training and technical assistance for the award's five-year duration. HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development also awarded an Economic Development Initiative / Community Project Funding grant (Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022) on August 13, 2024 with a completion date of August 31, 2032, the scope of which is to be detailed in the organization's project narrative and congressional record language.

The organization acts as a sub-recipient on federal grants issued to state and local prime grantees. The Alaska Department of Public Safety has awarded sub-grants for direct victim services, enhanced legal assistance for victims of crime (OVC Discretionary funding), and family violence prevention and awareness programming, with sub-awards dated July 1, 2024, July 24, 2025, and August 14, 2025. The Alaska Department of Education and Early Development has issued sub-grants for the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CFDA 10.558), with sub-awards spanning 2023 and 2024 for both meal provision and cash-in-lieu reimbursement. Alaska Housing Finance Corporation awarded a sub-grant on October 4, 2023 for emergency and transitional housing and supportive services for human trafficking survivors. Recent sub-awards dated November 18, 2025 provide temporary housing for homeless persons under an unspecified prime grantee.

Activity has grown from two awards in 2022 to a peak of thirteen in 2024, with nine awards in 2025 and three in 2026 to date. Only three awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, indicating stable funding continuity. The organization's combined dollars obligated across all 64 awards (prime and sub) totals $7.9 million over its federal award history since 2004. Federal customer concentration is pronounced: HUD's Community Planning and Development office accounts for the vast majority of awards, with the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (nine awards), the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime (four awards), and the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women (two awards) comprising the remainder of the 92% coverage pool. The organization serves six distinct federal agencies and operates within the Interior Alaska Continuum of Care geographic service area.
