How South Dakota Housing Programs are Opening Doors
In the latest episode of The Housing Connection podcast, Tammy Jund, Director of Homeownership at South Dakota Housing, provides a comprehensive overview of programs designed to help South Dakotans achieve their dream of homeownership. Tammy explains the resources available for first-time and repeat homebuyers. She also shares the long-term benefits of these programs.
Empowering Homebuyers with Options
South Dakota Housing offers tailored programs to meet the diverse needs of homebuyers. The First-Time Homebuyer program is ideal for those who haven’t owned a home in the past three years, while the Repeat Homebuyer program caters to those who don’t meet the criteria for first-time homebuyers. Both options provide access to low-interest rates, downpayment assistance, and educational resources.
Education and Support
Tammy emphasizes the importance of homebuyer education in making informed decisions. Programs like Homeownership Education Resource Organization (HERO) empower buyers with the knowledge they need to navigate the process confidently. Additionally, South Dakota Housing’s partnerships with Participating Lenders ensure responsive and reliable support for homebuyers.
Innovative Programs
South Dakota Housing offers a wide range of programs to help buyers at every stage. Fixed-Rate Plus loans offer downpayment support that addresses diverse needs. Programs like CHIP (Community Home Improvement Program) allow existing homeowners to access affordable loans for essential repairs and upgrades. Each program contributes to South Dakota Housing’s mission of fostering sustainable and accessible homeownership statewide.
