The South Dakota Housing Development Authority has been awarded $10 million in Coronavirus Relief Funds to assist state residents who need help paying housing expenses.
The assistance may provide eligible South Dakotans with up to $1500 a month. Applicants can earn up to 115% of the Average Median Income, but must have a demonstrated financial need and be at risk of losing their housing. Assistance may be used for past due, current or future housing payments, mortgages or utilities from March 1-Dec. 30, 2020.
The assistance provided does not have to be paid back. Payment is made directly to the landlord, mortgage servicer or utility provider on the applicant’s behalf. Households who may have current protections in place such as an eviction moratorium, should inquire about this financial assistance.
The program is funded by the State of South Dakota from the Federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act.
