For Immediate Release

Homesteading was a unique opportunity that drove thousands of people to South Dakota from the 1860s to the 1920s. The promise of land was the driving force—the Homestead Act of 1862 guaranteed 160 acres of land to anyone willing to follow its guidelines. Today, you could argue that the Governor’s House Program is the modern equivalent of homesteading. The Governor’s House Program promises all the opportunity for ambitious people looking to own property.

Nowadays, timing is everything. Finding out how to locate and apply for affordable housing may seem like a huge task, but, with the help of SDHDA, the search can be attainable. To make things less complicated, we came up with a list of ways to find affordable housing.
