Use carefully

Do not flatten First Home and First Home Limited into one rule set

This page stays public because the official structure is still useful, but these details should not be flattened into fake certainty.

AHFC First Home and First Home Limited are detail-safe as one statewide first-mortgage umbrella, but public copy must keep the capped First Home Limited lane separate from the uncapped First Home lane and must date any quoted rate sheet.

Program guide

What to know before you click through

This is still the free fact layer. Open the official source when a detail affects eligibility, repayment, lender choice, or whether this path should stay on your shortlist.

Who qualifies?

Alaska first-time homebuyers using an AHFC approved lender, Qualified veterans and active-duty borrowers using the published First Home Limited exception path, Owner-occupant buyers using First Home when they exceed First Home Limited income or acquisition-cost limits, Borrowers choosing current 95% or 97% AHFC loan-to-value options through an approved lender

What support do you get?

AHFC still offers two statewide first-time-buyer first mortgages. First Home Limited is the lower-rate tax-exempt lane with current income and acquisition-cost limits, while First Home keeps the reduced-rate first-mortgage path without those limits.

Do you repay it?

Both lanes are fixed-rate first mortgages closed through AHFC approved lenders. First Home Limited can carry federal recapture-tax risk after a future sale, while AHFC explicitly says First Home does not include those recapture provisions. Daily rates should always be checked by date.

How do you apply?

Work with an AHFC approved lender, choose either First Home Limited or First Home, verify whether the borrower fits the current limit tables or the uncapped First Home lane, review the dated AHFC rate sheet, and close any optional 95% or 97% LTV structure through the same lender because AHFC does not directly lend on single-family loans.

Official source evidence

AHFC's current first-time loans page says Alaska Housing still offers both First Home Limited and First Home. Current AHFC materials show First Home Limited as the lower-rate limited lane with targeted-area and veteran exceptions, while First Home removes those income and acquisition-cost caps and avoids the limited-lane recapture provisions.
