South Dakota Tribal Veterans Homeownership Study Reports Available Online

September 9, 2019
South Dakota

Big Water Consulting partnered with the Cheyenne River Housing Authority, Oglala Sioux (Lakota) Housing and Sissteon Wahpeton Housing Authority as well as the Tribal Veterans Service Officers (TVSOs) for these three reservations to conduct a survey and a focus group with tribal veterans in each area. The purpose of this project was to determine evaluate veterans' housing needs, their interest in and qualification for homeownership, and opportunities to better serve those who served their country. We were honored to participate this project and would like to thank all of the contributors to this inaugural effort, including the tribal housing entities, the TVSOs, South Dakota Native Homeownership Coalition (SDNHC), Lakota Funds and Enterprise Community Partners.
