This bill gives the Southcentral Foundation (a Native health nonprofit in Anchorage, Alaska) full ownership of about 3.37 acres of federal land in Anchorage to use for health and social service programs. The transfer must happen within two years of the law taking effect. The land comes with all buildings and related features on it. The government will not charge the Foundation, will not add extra conditions, and cannot take the land back once it is transferred . The exact site is in the East Addition of the Anchorage Townsite Subdivision, Lot 1A, Block 36 .
The Foundation will not be responsible for pollution that happened on the land before the transfer. The federal government will follow environmental notice rules, and it won’t be responsible for any contamination that happens after the Foundation is in control of the property .

- Where: About 3.372 acres in Anchorage, Alaska (Lot 1A, Block 36, East Addition)
