Southcentral Foundation Land Transfer Act of 2025
Free transfer of federal land to Alaska Native health foundation
Legislative Progress
Key Points
- The bill orders the federal government to give about 3.4 acres of land in Anchorage, Alaska, to Southcentral Foundation, a Native-run health and social services group.
- Southcentral Foundation gets full ownership for free, with no rent, payback, or special conditions, so it can use the land for health and social service programs.
- The federal government cannot take the land back later, but it can keep needed access rights, like easements, to handle any remaining duties or repairs.
- If the land was polluted in the past, Southcentral Foundation is not responsible for cleaning up old contamination; the federal government stays on the hook for that.
- Southcentral Foundation would only be responsible for any new pollution that happens after it starts using and controlling the property.
