Alaska Stat. § 18.56. § 18.56.795
Regulations
Operative Text
For purposes of implementing AS 18.56.700 — 18.56.799, the corporation shall, under AS 18.56.088, establish by regulation the age requirement for occupants of senior housing, which may not be less than 55 years of age.
Alaska Statute AS 18.56 § 18.56.795 directs the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation to adopt formal regulations that set an age threshold for residents of senior housing developments covered under AS 18.56.700–18.56.799. That minimum age floor cannot be set below 55 years, though the corporation may choose a higher threshold through its rulemaking process. The provision establishes the regulatory framework rather than specifying a single fixed age, leaving the precise requirement to be determined through the corporation's formal rule adoption process under AS 18.56.088.

Under AS 18.56 § 18.56.795, operators of senior housing communities subject to AS 18.56.700–18.56.799 should be aware that the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation is responsible for setting the minimum occupant age through regulation, with a statutory floor of 55 years. Compliant operators of senior housing generally verify that their occupancy policies align with whatever age threshold the corporation has established in its current regulations under AS 18.56.088. Staying current with any regulatory updates issued by the corporation is a standard part of managing a senior housing community under this statutory framework.
