SDHDA Awards $9.2 Million for Affordable Housing in South Dakota
PIERRE, S.D. (12/11/19) –
South Dakotans will be seeing additional housing development and preservation across the state. South Dakota Housing Development Authority’s (SDHDA) Board of Commissioners approved the award of more than $9.2 million in funding for housing activities.
The developments will receive $2.7 million in Housing Tax Credits, $2.9 million in HOME Investment Partnership Program funds, $1.5 million in Housing Opportunity Funds and $2.1 million in Housing Trust Funds.
The 26 projects funded will provide South Dakotans with 268 newly constructed and nine rehabbed multifamily housing units and 22 single-family housing units. In addition, 50 individuals and families will be provided with down payment assistance, 18 individuals and families will be provided with home improvement assistance and 41 individuals and families will be provided with homelessness prevention assistance.
“Each year we have a high level of competition for our housing development funds,” said Executive Director Mark Lauseng, “and this year was no exception with SDHDA receiving 36 applications requesting more than $17 million.”
Funded applications include multifamily developments in Eagle Butte, LaPlant, Rapid City, Sioux Falls and Vermillion. Funded single-family developments will be located in Hot Springs, Kimball, Mitchell, Parkston, Rapid City, Sioux Falls, Watertown and Yankton.
“The projects funded will result in over $50 million in total development costs, preserving and strengthening South Dakota’s housing stock,” said David Pummel, SDHDA board chairman. “They will help low-income families, elderly residents, individuals with disabilities and homeless citizens with a place to call home.”
