PolicyMap Helps Identify Land for 10,000 New Homes in Anchorage

Anchorage, Alaska – March 3, 2026 – The Anchorage Community Development Authority (ACDA) has launched a new feature in its PolicyMap Data Tool that highlights vacant, abandoned, and privately offered properties available for development across Anchorage.

The new mapping layer supports Mayor Suzanne LaFrance’s goal of building 10,000 homes in 10 years by making it easier for builders, investors, and housing partners to identify potential development sites.

The first 7 properties are now available in the tool, including privately offered land opportunities. ACDA will continue expanding the dataset as additional properties are submitted by private landowners interested in connecting with potential developers.

The PolicyMap tool can be accessed at: https://www.acda.net/policymap

“Housing starts with identifying where we can build,” said Chad Stovall, ACDA Development Director. “This tool helps connect developers with available land so we can move housing projects forward faster.”

ACDA will continue adding properties to the mapping tool and encourage private landowners interested in submitting development sites to participate.

Anyone needing assistance using PolicyMap or interested in meeting with ACDA to discuss development opportunities on listed properties can contact ACDA at development@acda.net.
