Abstract

The housing deficit in Alaska is growing annually. The Municipality of Anchorage is in dire need of Affordable Housing. The housing sector has been the bedrock of most developed nations' economies. Housing construction indices are vital for measuring economic developments in emerging countries. Urban dwellers make up about 55% of the global population. This share is predicted to rise dramatically by 2030, adding 1.6 billion people to urban regions. Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly India, China, and Nigeria, will account for 90% of this rise. (U.N. 2020). The building sector wants to alleviate Alaska's affordable housing shortfall, but government regulations, an ailing economy, and a dysfunctional appraisal system impede the process. Land, weather, and construction materials limit affordable housing deliveries. This research investigates how project management might create affordable homes, focusing on scheduling, stakeholder management, budget, risk, and quality. To ensure the acceptability and viability of a cost-constrained affordable housing program in Anchorage, Alaska, this project will optimize and integrate project schedule management. It will address the following: • Create a strong scheduling plan to build 500 to 1000 dwelling units in 12 months • Develop an efficient schedule management approach and communication tools plan to assist contractors, vendors, city officials, and stakeholders in affordable housing development
