|
The Alaska Clearinghouse is closing it's doors after nearly a year of operations. The staff that worked so diligently to provide Alaskans with the most up to date and accurate Stimulus information will no longer be updating the information on this website and will cease publishing notifications via e-mail or Twitter. The website itself will remain up for the near future so that interested parties can still access the information that is stored here. We here at the Clearinghouse would like to extend our thanks to all of the individuals and organizations who provided us with positive feedback and support. Your participation and support made the Clearinghouse the success that it was. If you have any further Stimulus or Clearinghouse related questions you can contact Adison Smith at the Denali Commission by e-mail at
