Sustainable Northern Communities
The Sustainable Northern Shelter project was initiated in 2008 to address the needs for sustainable rural housing in northern climates. The project investigates, develops and incorporates many sustainable solutions that will benefit northern communities by demonstrating a culturally designed, affordable, replicable and simply constructed home that uses very little water or energy. The first demonstration house in Anaktuvuk Pass, funded by the Tagiugmiullu Nunamiullu Housing Authority (TNHA), was completed in July of 2009 with most of the work being done by students from Ilisagvik College.
With the successful construction in Anaktuvuk Pass, many other villages are looking to CCHRC for assistance in solving Alaska’s rural housing problems. The interest from all across bush Alaska, demonstrated by establishing collaborations and funding commitments, has been spectacular.
See below for more information on the Sustainable Northern Shelter program, and the work being done in Anaktuvuk Pass.
