South Dakota Housing Development Authority

South Dakota Housing Development Authority Homeownership Division, a U.S. state government housing authority based in Pierre, South Dakota, acts as a federal grant recipient delivering affordable housing production, homelessness prevention, and housing counseling services to low- and very low-income households across South Dakota through funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient, holding no federal contracts or IDVs. Its customer base is entirely HUD: 68 awards from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (covering 84% of all awards) and 13 awards from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner (the Housing Counseling Assistance Program). This 100% HUD concentration reflects the Authority's statutory role as South Dakota's housing authority.

Across the past several years, SDHDA Homeownership Division has managed a portfolio of formula and project grants spanning six core federal programs. The Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239), a formula grant, awarded $3,014,372 on September 25, 2025, running through September 30, 2034, to finance diverse affordable housing activities including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and construction of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance. The Housing Trust Fund (CFDA 14.275), also formula-based, awarded $3.0 million on September 25, 2025, through September 25, 2032, targeting production and preservation of affordable rental housing for extremely low-income households; at minimum, 80 percent of each annual award must support rental housing, with up to 10 percent available for homeownership assistance and up to 10 percent for administrative costs. The Emergency Solutions Grant (CFDA 14.231), a formula program, awarded $634,071 on September 25, 2025, through September 24, 2027, funding street outreach, emergency shelter operations, homelessness prevention, rapid rehousing, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) activities. The Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), the largest volume driver, has awarded multiple project grants ranging from approximately $112,504 to unspecified amounts, supporting permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and HMIS across 2021 through 2026. The Comprehensive Housing Counseling program (under HUD's Assistant Secretary for Housing) funded pre-purchase homebuying counseling, foreclosure prevention, and post-purchase counseling for homeowners facing delinquency. The Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP), a subset of CoC, targets youth (ages 24 and under) experiencing homelessness through coordinated community prevention and rehousing approaches.

Activity has remained relatively flat at 7 to 11 awards per year over the past five years (2022: 11; 2023: 7; 2024: 8; 2025: 8; 2026: 1 award to date). Seven awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete opportunities across CoC, Comprehensive Housing Counseling, Emergency Solutions Grant, and Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program renewals. Combined dollars obligated across all eighty-one awards total $121.3 million. The Authority operates as a prime recipient across all awards, with no subcontractor relationships recorded in the source data, reflecting its role as a state-level fiscal agent and coordinator for affordable housing and homelessness services.
