Same reason people join the military for free money forever after they Moo the floor for four years and then say they say they have sleep apnia because of the Army.
They’re Welfare Queens /shrug
Can I still get same-day Prime shipping there?
Lol how many of you chucklefricks are actually married with 3-4 kids? I get the feeling the number is pretty low.
i think japan have similar programs to move people out on the countryside, i'd check there as well.
If I had that, I would go. Bit cynical about why they are doing this though.
>Bit cynical
Hey, they’re honest and you would be doing a good thing for the community.
It's a rural northern Alaska town that needs the population to justify getting school funding, if it's an isolated community it is probably a lot easier to get the families settled in, than bussing the kids the 60 miles to the next big town sort of deal.
Lots of governments are starting to do programs like this, it's been a well established practice in the North of Canada that anything north of the 60th parallel gets you some sort of government funding because shit like gasoline is twice as expensive in winter, etc.
If it's an older mining style town, those 2 houses they've got might just be empty and sitting there anyways. I lived up in Northern BC in a house that was built in the 1930's town had ghost houses, since the population had shrunk so much.
they cant afford to educate their children at school but hey theres a big ornate christian church on this tiny island. i wonder how much that costs to maintain.. i remember as a kid, every tiny hamlet of a town in the praries with like 1 corner store and maybe 50-100 people tops and yet there were multiple christian churches of various denominations. a fool and their money are soon parted. keep donating to your skydaddy and see how well that works out for ya
So edgy.
Judging by the rust streaks it probably doesn't get maintained often besides needing a new coat of paint every now and then, the school on the other hand can and is running with 1-2 local kids, but they won't receive their free state gibs until they hit the minimum cap. Again a small island community won't need it to run the school, there'd be no cafeteria, most likely one teacher for the entire school, etc, but if you can receive free money for the growth of your community why not?
bullshit discrimination that you need to be married with kids
I think their school needs desperate funding. If they get two families, one with 3 children and one with 4 children, they won't have the minimum 8 they require. Even worse if both families have 3 children.
>need funding for school
Why don't they use the money they're going to pay these families
the funding is likely at least comparable to the cost of importing a couple families for a year
this scheme will also make it harder for said families to leave after the 1 year stipulation so they keep getting said funding and those families then contribute to their local economy, theyre banking on families in tough situations rather than families treating it as a vacation
Could work out being a beautiful 5-10 years for a family to live there, before probably moving closer to civilisation again after that.
I assume that they want families already in Alaska but yeah I just sent this to my wife.
Lmao me too... see you there brother.
happy some y'all found it useful

It's probably lovely during the 3 months of summer
Kodiak Island as with the rest of coastal south central AK is actually fairly temperate and mild. The main downside is actually that it's too wet and has an aggressively (cool) oceanic climate. Just look up the forest casts for Kodiak, AK and Homer, AK (drier side of the Kenai, still cool oceanic) or Whittier, AK if you want to get a feel for what summer is like. Winter on the other hand is much warmer (50+ degrees F warmer) than interior AK.
I think the high latitude winter nights are probably the biggest adjustment problem for most lower 48ers.
Topeka, ks will pay you up to 15k to relocate there.
20 minutes from lawrence, 50 from KCMO
Why don't they just send this to Africans?
because they're trying to get gibs, not give out gibs.
I see Alaskans still bait outsiders for grey abductions so they don't take their own kids. Clever.
