19-SDHousing-0673-Website-Maintenance_v2

South Dakota Housing Development Authority’s Board of Commissioners recently awarded more than $13 million to assist South Dakotans with newly constructed multifamily housing, single family housing, homebuyer assistance, homeowner rehabilitation, and homelessness prevention.

The developments will receive $2.99 million in Housing Tax Credits, $4.95 million in HOME Investment Partnership Program funds, $1.96 million in Housing Opportunity Funds and $3.64 million in Housing Trust Funds.

The 13 projects funded will provide South Dakotans with 220 newly constructed multifamily housing units and 18 single-family homes. The approved nine programs funded will provide downpayment assistance for 64 households, homeowner rehabilitation for 15 homeowners and provide services and financial support for 14 households who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.

“Funding is awarded annually to developers through a highly competitive application process,” said Executive Director Lorraine Polak. “This year was no exception, with 36 applications requesting more than $22 million.”

“The developments funded will result in over $53.2 million in total development costs, preserving and strengthening South Dakota’s affordable housing stock,” said Bill Hansen, SDHDA board chairman. “The affordable housing units will help low-income families, elderly residents, individuals with disabilities and citizens who were recently incarcerated with a place to call home.”
