How does the Waitlist work?

Applying for the Alaska Pioneer Homes places the applicant on a waitlist of their choice. The Waitlist is broken down into two branches:

• Active Waitlist - For those who are ready to enter a Pioneer Home of their choice within 30 days of receiving an admissions offer.

• Inactive Waitlist - For those applicants who are interested in moving into a Pioneer Home at some point in the future. Note: There is no penalty to applicants who never end up transferring to the Active Waitlist!

Placement on the Waitlist is chronological and is determined by the date that a completed application is received, with the oldest applications at the top.

Applicants may transfer between the Inactive and Active Waitlists as many times as they choose with no penalty and their original application date is permanently retained to their file (as long as Alaska residency remains unbroken).
