Sioux Falls Housing & Redevelopment Commission

Sioux Falls Housing & Redevelopment Commission is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota that receives federal grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to operate affordable housing programs, homeless services, and family economic mobility initiatives. The organization acts exclusively as a grant recipient (96% of recent awards as prime recipient); it does not hold federal contracts or serve as a subcontractor.

The commission's federal funding footprint is concentrated in two HUD offices. The Public and Indian Housing Office funds 51 awards supporting public housing operations, capital improvements, and family self-sufficiency programming. The Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development funds 41 awards under the Continuum of Care program for homelessness prevention and transitional housing. Together these two funding sources account for 98% of recent federal awards. The Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration provides two awards related to HOPWA (Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS) programs, with the commission acting as a sub-recipient under Montana state administration.

The commission's primary grant programs are the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), a formula grant providing operating and maintenance subsidies for public housing units and covering day-to-day operations, preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, and resident supportive services; the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), a formula grant funding modernization, development, and capital improvements to the public housing inventory; the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896), a project grant supporting employment and economic mobility services through full-time coordinators who enroll and maintain low-income families in training and employment partnerships, with minimum participation requirements of 25 families per funded coordinator position; and the Continuum of Care program (CFDA 14.267), a project grant supporting permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and supportive services for homeless individuals and families. Recent awards include a $122,732 2026 Family Self-Sufficiency project grant, a Public Housing Capital Fund grant running through May 2029, a Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant running through December 2031, and Continuum of Care project grants with completion dates through August 2026.

Activity has declined modestly over the past four years, from seven awards in both 2022 and 2023 to five in 2024 and five in 2025, with three awards recorded in 2026 to date. Six awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete opportunities in 2026 and 2027. The commission has obligated $10.2 million across its federal grant portfolio over the award period of record. The organization operates no federal contracts, parent vehicles, or teaming relationships in its current footprint; its federal activity is entirely grant-driven and localized to Sioux Falls housing and community development operations.
