SDHDA provides funds to engage landlords
PIERRE — South Dakota Housing Development Authority’s (SDHDA) Board of Commissioners approved $400,000 to provide funding for the Sustainable Housing Incentive Program (SHIP) — a collaborative effort of housing and service providers creating opportunity for tenants to gain self-sufficiency.
“It is often difficult to find affordable rental housing, it is even more difficult when you have barriers such as a criminal background, poor credit or no landlord references,” said Executive Director Mark Lauseng. “By providing a financial incentive for landlords and coordinating services, this program can provide sustainable permanent housing for some of our most vulnerable citizens, giving them a second chance to be successful.”
