SD CARES Housing Assistance Program
SD Housing Development Authority, Helpline Center, and partner agencies, are working to assist South Dakotans who have been impacted by COVID-19 and the related economic crisis by offering financial assistance to help stabilize their housing situation. The funding is provided to South Dakota through the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 - Emergency Rental Assistance and the American Rescue Plan. The two funding sources will vary in eligibility requirements, eligible uses and required documentation.
For general inquiries, contact the Helpline Center by dialing 211.
