Our Mission
On behalf of the VRS Board of Directors, I would like to welcome you to our website! It is the goal of VRS to provide safe, quality and affordable housing to the residents of Alaska. We strive to improve the quality of life to our residents by providing the most basic element of stabilization, a place to call home. We have housing programs for single households, families, seniors and individuals who experience behavioral or developmental disabilities. VRS works with area service providers to provide the valuable supports necessary to help our tenants achieve a successful lifestyle.
Our success would not be possible without the support of many organizations such as Alaska Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC), U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), State of Alaska, Mat-Su Health Foundation, Rasmuson Foundation, Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority and the local banking community, First National Bank of Alaska, Wells Fargo and Northrim.
Over the last 25 years VRS has developed over $100 million in new properties in collaboration with the Pacific Companies and Cook Inlet Housing Authority. VRS manages 600 units of housing with a variety of programs to serve our rapidly growing community.
We look forward to the future!
Sincerely,
John Weaver
President and CEO
