Self Help Center

Incidental Expense Assistance

As a renter there are certain things you’re responsible for. Lightbulbs, fertilizer, furnace filters, fire extinguishers, ice melt … these things all add up, chipping away at your expendable income. Whether you’re moving out, moving in, or just living day-to-day, the Self Help Center can help reduce these costs. By offering free items for your home, we hope to make your experience in Alaska a pleasant one.
