Open house seeking input on use of flood disaster funding scheduled Thursday

(State of Alaska public announcement)

An open house by state officials is planned from 4-8 p.m. Thursday as part of a recovery plan following the 2024 glacial lake outburst flood in Juneau.

The State of Alaska's Division of Community and Regional Affairs is working closely with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to explore how disaster recovery funding can support long-term recovery, infrastructure improvements, housing stabilization, and overall community resilience

The meeting is scheduled at the Mendenhall Valley Public Library. Community members are welcome to drop-in, pick-up materials, and speak one‑on‑one with project staff. This will be an opportunity to ask questions and share feedback on HUD’s CDBG‑DR program design and the proposed use of funds. Written comment forms, printed Action Plan summaries, and other take‑home materials will be available.

People can also offer input via a public survey at https://forms.microsoft.com/r/ujSWuf323y
