Sec. 47.25.575. - Property taken under eminent domain powers. - Alaska Statutes

If a recipient's property is taken for urban renewal or other public purposes and the recipient expresses an intent to purchase a personal dwelling, the proceeds that are paid the recipient as a result of the taking shall be paid by the taking authority into an escrow account under escrow instructions approved by the department. If the proceeds are paid into such an account and are applied by the recipient within one year to the purchase of a personal dwelling, the proceeds may not cause a reduction of the amount of assistance to which the recipient would otherwise be entitled. The department shall inform the recipient of the provisions of this section at the time of the taking.
