Affordable Housing Advisory Council
Kazama
|
Blake Kazama became Alaska's three-year representative on Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle's Affordable Housing Advisory Council, which guides the bank's board on how it can help improve affordable housing in the west. Kazama works as executive director of the Tlingit-Haida Regional Housing Authority in Alaska and is president of the Association of Alaska Housing Authorities. "I want to see what the Home Loan Bank can do to help economic development in Alaska's rural communities," Kazama said. "We need help building up flagging local economies so people can have jobs and, in turn, become homeowners. I also plan to establish a method of tracking and measuring the bank's impact on Alaska's rural communities."
