Advocacy Update:

House Bill 1033

HB1033 passed March 8, 2022 and has already cleared the Senate! Lawmakers will use $150 million in general funds, as well as $50 million in federal funds from last year's American Rescue Plan Act, achieving Noem's goal of putting $200,000 towards affordable housing solutions. With Noem's signature, the funds will find a home with South Dakota Housing Development Authority. We hope to see a signature soon.
