Description
HOME-ARP is administered by South Dakota Housing Development Authority (SD Housing) to support homelessness assistance and other vulnerable populations across South Dakota. The state received approximately $9.3 million through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, appropriated under the HOME Program and Title II of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990.
The program supports capital investment in permanent rental housing, upgrades to existing shelter stock to provide non-congregate shelter, and supportive services that prevent homelessness and address housing instability. Housing and shelter assistance takes the form of zero-interest forgivable loans, while supportive services receive grants. SD Housing’s competitive application cycle will allocate approximately $1.1 million in remaining funds to projects meeting the scoring criteria.
