The Housing Scarcity Dilemma
As a premier resort town, Girdwood faces a severe shortage of long-term rentals and affordable properties for local retail, dining, and resort employees. Many properties have transitioned into short-term vacation rentals.
GHEC & Land Trust Solutions
The Girdwood Housing & Economic Committee (GHEC) works alongside the Girdwood Community Land Trust to acquire land parcels, secure development grants, and draft zoning incentives for dedicated workforce housing.
Resident Support Resources
Girdwood offers local community support programs, food pantries, and assistance grants through local non-profits, helping service workers and long-time residents remain in the valley.
