SD CARES HOUSING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

The State of South Dakota in collaboration with SD Housing Development Authority, Helpline Center, and partner agencies, are working to assist South Dakotans who have been impacted by COVID-19 and the related economic crisis by offering financial assistance to help stabilize their housing situation. The funding is provided to South Dakota through the CARES Act and the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 - Emergency Rental Assistance. The two funding sources will vary in eligibility requirements, eligible uses and required documentation.

If you are unable to pay rent, mortgage, property insurance on your home, or utilities because of the pandemic, short-term financial assistance may be available.

SD CARES Housing Assistance Program may provide temporary housing or utility assistance for South Dakota residents who meet all of the following criteria:

  • Households income qualify based on county of residence. You must fall below the income level listed for your county and household size.

  • Have one or more individuals in the household who has qualified for unemployment benefits, experienced a reduction in household income, incurred significant costs or experienced other financial hardship due directly or indirectly to the coronavirus outbreak.

  • Have one or more individuals in the household that have a past due utility bill or mortgage statement or are able to prove that they are at risk of experiencing homelessness or housing instability.

Small Town. Big Heart.

Avon is located in Bon Homme County, South Dakota.  We are comfortably located between several small to medium sized cities and well within comfortable driving range to one of South Dakota’s major metropolitan centers.  We offer an excellent place for family growth including an outstanding school that is large enough to include mainstream subjects but small enough that individual attention can still be given to any student.  We have a wide variety of sports here and you will find that the entire city goes all out to support each team, no matter how far they have to travel or how many times.  Or, if your family prefers a calmer pace, we offer the Avon Public Library, the Avon Kid’s Club, and the Avon City Park.  No wonder they call us “The Small Town With The Big Heart”.
