Sioux Falls Housing and Redevelopment Commission

What Sioux Falls Housing and Redevelopment Commission does

Sioux Falls Housing and Redevelopment Commission (SFHRC) is a federally chartered Public Housing Agency established by the Sioux Falls City Council in 1968, operating under U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) oversight to administer rental assistance programs for low-income households in Sioux Falls and Minnehaha County, South Dakota. The agency administers eight specialized programs — Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (1,928 allocated), HUD-VASH for homeless veterans, Moderate Rehabilitation, Shelter Plus Care for chronically homeless individuals with severe mental illness, Tri-State HELP/HOPWA across South Dakota, Montana, and North Dakota, Emergency Housing Vouchers (63 awarded in 2021), Family Self-Sufficiency, and directly-owned Public Housing (24 single-family homes and 16 apartments). It also launched the Just Home Program for justice-impacted households and a 2024 Community Health Worker program. Long-term rental assistance is provided to over 2,000 households.

SFHRC's revenue model is government-grant based: HUD Housing Assistance Payments flow through the agency to participating private landlords on the first working day of each month, supplemented by HUD administrative fees that fund staffing and operations, plus a marginal donations stream processed through AutoBooks. Tenants contribute the greater of 30% of adjusted monthly income or a capped 40% during the initial lease term; payment standards are set annually. Go-to-market is direct-to-beneficiary with waitlists (currently closed for HCV, HOPWA, and Mod Rehab) and referral-based intake through the South Dakota Coordinated Entry System for Shelter Plus Care and EHV, plus landlord recruitment via a free unit-listing service.

The organization employs approximately 20-25 staff (sources cite an executive director, finance director, HCV director, director of development and facilities, director of administration, director of operations, program coordinators, specialists, and maintenance/inspection technicians) under a Board of Five Commissioners chaired by Dr. Suzanne Smith, with Larissa Deedrich serving as Executive Director. Technology infrastructure is limited and non-proprietary: SFHRC uses the AssistanceCheck portal for participant management (undergoing a software conversion to separate landlord and tenant access), and NSPIRE for physical inspections. The 1978-vintage subsidiary Affordable Housing Solutions (AHS), a 501(c)(3) non-profit, extends the agency's reach into non-subsidized affordable property development.
