Resources

Access Alaska takes pride in providing information and resources that support those Alaskans experiencing disabilities, our seniors, and their families. We do not place links on our page that are unsolicited specific concerns, product, or service endorsements. First and foremost, our goal is to provide folks with information that has been researched through local, Alaskan resources. We provide the same with statewide information. All national resources must be attached to vetted organizations, not splinter 3rd party vendors. It is through these efforts we hope to help limit the challenge of the vulnerable, and others, being subjected to scams or victims of identity theft. Please help us take care of those that rely on our services in a safe and helpful way.
