SDHDA Hosting Meetings to Identify Housing and Community Development Priorities

PIERRE, SD – South Dakota Housing Development Authority (SDHDA), in partnership with the Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED), will be hosting four public meetings around the state to discuss housing and community development priorities.

The meetings are an opportunity for the public to provide their comments, suggestions and ideas for how state and federal dollars should be utilized for housing and community development. All housing and community development initiatives and policies are then outlined in the program allocation plans, outlining how SDHDA and GOED will administer the financing programs.

The federal programs to be discussed are HUD’s Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnership Program, Housing Trust Fund and Emergency Solutions Grants Program. The IRS program, Housing Tax Credit and South Dakota’s Housing Opportunity Fund will also be discussed.
